TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS NEWS

Daniel Batcho - DNP vs. Eastern Washington Batcho (ankle) did not play during the Red Raiders' 77-70 win Tuesday versus Eastern Washington.

Impact Batcho will try returning when the Red Raiders host Jackson State on Saturday, during which he could return despite being seen wearing a boot on Tuesday. If out again, Robert Jennings is expected to be a part of their starting lineup that day. He logged three points across his game started Tuesday.

Robert Jennings - Twelve minutes across game started Jennings provided three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 77-70 victory over Eastern Washington.

Impact Jennings got the start with Daniel Batcho out with an ankle injury. Texas Tech is certainly pretty small without both Batcho and Fardaws Aimaq in the frontcourt. If Batcho is unable to go Saturday against Jackson State it's reasonable to think that Jennings would get another start, though he didn't offer much output in his first one.

Jaylon Tyson - Inefficient shooting Tuesday Tyson had four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and five rebounds across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 77-70 win over Eastern Washington.

Impact Tyson missed 75 percent of his shots and every three-pointer he attempted Tuesday. The sophomore will try returning to his expected form. Across seven games Tyson played during November, he averaged 10.4 points on a 54.9 field goal and 55.0 three-point percentage.

Daniel Batcho - Not out for warmups Batcho (ankle) was not seen warming up ahead of Tuesday's game against Eastern Washington, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact It's not looking good for Batcho's chances of going on Tuesday. This is a new ankle injury that popped up following the team's most recent outing on Dec. 7 against Nicholls. Texas Tech would be very short on size if Batcho is unable to suit up with Fardaws Aimaq (foot) still in a boot.

Jaylon Tyson - Available vs. Eastern Washington Tyson (undisclosed) is available Tuesday versus Eastern Washington.

Impact Fortunately for Tyson, he will not sit out multiple games because of the problem that prevented him from playing when Texas Tech hosted Nicholls State on Nov. 7. D'Maurian Williams is expected to be a backup again.

Jaylon Tyson - Aiming for Tuesday return Head coach Mark Adams said Friday that Tyson (ankle) is expected to play Tuesday against Eastern Washington, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Tyson hasn't played since Nov. 30 due to an ankle issue, but he's now anticipated to avoid a multi-game absence by suiting up for Tuesday's matchup versus the Eagles. Across the sophomore's first seven contests, he's averaged 10.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals.

Fardaws Aimaq - Evaluation on foot upcoming Head coach Mark Adams said Friday that Aimaq (foot) will be re-evaluated next week, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Aimaq has been sidelined all season due to the broken foot he suffered back in September, but as previously noted, he's anticipated to return sometime in mid-December. The 6-foot-11 center averaged 18.9 points and 13.6 rebounds per game a year ago, and his return would likely result in decreased minutes for Daniel Batcho, Kevin Obanor and KJ Allen.

Pop Isaacs - Breaks out Wednesday night Isaacs had 24 points (6-9 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 78-71 victory over Nicholls.

Impact Isaacs surpassed 20 points for the first time in his career, as he splashed a team-best five three-pointers. The true freshman point guard also benefitted from Nicholls' foul-prone starting lineup, taking more than four free-throw attempts for the first time. Across eight starts, Isaacs has now made 48.6 percent of his team-high 35 attempts from long range this season, and he ranks fourth on the Red Raiders in points per contest (10.3). He should continue to serve as a three-point specialist Tuesday versus Eastern Washington.

D'Maurian Williams - Minimal contribution in bigger role Williams racked up two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 78-71 win over Nicholls.

Impact Williams started his first game of the season as sophomore forward Jaylon Tyson sat out for undisclosed reasons Wednesday. However, the transfer guard did not end up seeing much more playing time than his typical share of minutes off the bench. Instead, freshman Lamar Washington played a season-high 28 minutes off the bench, as he provided a more physical presence on the boards with seven rebounds. In his first seven games since arriving from Gardner-Webb, Williams has now accumulated 4.1 points and 1.1 rebounds across an average of 12.3 minutes.

Jaylon Tyson - Sits out Wednesday Tyson did not appears in Wednesday's 78-71 win over Nicholls for undisclosed reasons.

Impact Tyson started all eight of Texas Tech's eight games leading up to this contest, so the reason for his absence from this contest is unclear. His next chance to suit back up will come against Eastern Washington on Tuesday, Dec. 13.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lamar Washington - 17 free-throw attempts off bench Washington supplied 12 points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 12-17 FT), seven rebounds and five assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 78-71 win over Nicholls.

Impact Washington managed to put all three of Nicholls' starting guards in jeopardy of fouling out en route to his ridiculous 17 free-throw attempts. This also marked the most significant playing time of the freshman's career, as he averaged just 1.3 points and 2.0 assists in 10.3 minutes per game up until Wednesday. Washington's increased role came as junior guard D'Maurian Williams started in place of forward Jaylon Tyson, who did not play for unknown reasons. Washington could play a prominent role if Tyson remains out against Eastern Washington on Tuesday.

DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Kevin Obanor - First 20-point game Obanor notched 20 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 78-71 win over Nicholls.

Impact Obanor eclipsed 20 points for the first time this season, as he logged season highs in field-goal and three-point attempts. The Oral Roberts transfer has taken on a leading role in his second year with the Red Raiders, pacing the team in points per game (14.0) just ahead of sophomore center Daniel Batcho (13.0). He's also notched double-digit points in seven of eight games while increasing his overall shooting efficiency to 52.6 percent in 2022-23. Obanor is also second on the team in rebounds per game (5.8), and he could put up an all-around dominant performance against Eastern Washington on Tuesday.

Impact Tyson will come off the bench for the first time this season against Nicholls State. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has averaged 10.4 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.6 steals on 23.3 minutes per game, and if healthy, figures to remain heavily involved for Texas Tech.
