TEXAS TECH RED RAIDERS NEWS

Starting Saturday Shannon (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Ryan Mainville of the Daily Toreador reports.

Impact Shannon's participation in warmups foreshadowed his return to action Saturday, but his appearance in the starting five suggests the sophomore should be all systems go. Shanon is averaging 11.2 points and 4.2 rebounds over 22.2 minutes per game in five appearances this season.

Warming up Saturday Shannon (ankle) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Shannon missed the Red Raiders' last game with an ankle issue, but he appears to be on track to return Saturday. It's unclear whether he'll face any limitations if he indeed takes the court against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

Not at warmups Shannon (ankle) was not present at pregame warmups ahead of Wednesday's game against Abilene Christian, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Shannon was a game-time decision and it looks as if that decision has been made that the sophomore forward will be sitting out Wednesday. Shannon will hope to return to the rotation on Saturday against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.

GTD Wednesday Shannon (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game against Abilene Christian, Eric Kelly of KAMC reports.

Impact Shannon rolled his ankle in Sunday's game against Grambling. He reportedly missed a practice as well since that game. Texas Tech may be a little lighter on the wing if Shannon is unable to go with Kevin McCullar also nursing an ankle injury.

Out again Wednesday McCullar (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's game against Abilene Christian, Eric Kelly of KAMC reports.

Impact McCullar has yet to suit up this season due to an ankle injury. There's no timetable for his return. Texas Tech is pretty deep all around, so it's not clear what his role will look like once he is healthy enough to play.

Contributing well on glass Santos-Silva had eight points (4-10 FG), six rebounds, one block and a steal in the blowout of Grambling on Sunday.

Impact Santos Silva is leading the Red Raiders on the glass this season as expected at 8.2 RPG. He also has a pair of double-doubles through the first five games. Santos-Silva shouldn't see more than 25 minutes a night, but will rebound at a very efficient rate when in the game. The Red Raiders will face Abilene Christian on Wednesday.

Six steals off bench Burnett came off the bench and had 12 points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six steals, three rebounds, and three assists in a rout of Grambling on Sunday.

Impact Burnett was able to do all of that in just 15 minutes of action. Texas Tech is incredibly deep this season, but playing good defense is an easy way to move up in coach Chris Beard's rotation. Burnett is the highest rated recruit in Texas Tech history. He's gotten just 16.4 minutes per game through the first five contests, but that might change as the season roles on and he keeps getting more and more comfortable.

Double-double in blowout Edwards had a strong game against Grambling on Sunday posting 13 points (4-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks.

Impact Edwards' 13 points led a very balanced scoring effort for the Red Raiders. The 6-4 junior has had a nice start to the season, as he is averaging 10.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.8 three-pointers through the first five games. Edwards should continue to be the secondary options offensively most nights behind Mac McClung.

Helped off court with ankle injury Shannon rolled his ankle and needed to be helped off the court Sunday against Grambling, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Shannon recorded his second-lowest minutes total of the season, but this time it was due to injury. It seems as if X-rays didn't turn back any concerning results, but the sophomore wing should still be considered a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup against Abilene Christian. Shannon has started all five games for the Red raiders this season, averaging 11.2 points across 22.2 minutes. Should he be forced to miss time, the Red Raiders would look to the likes of Jamarius Burton, Avery Benson and Tyreek Smith for more minutes.

Sitting out Sunday Coach Chris Beard said Sunday that McCullar (ankle) won't play in Sunday's matchup with Grambling State, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact McCullar will miss another contest due to the ankle injury as he's yet to take the court this season. The sophomore was seen in a walking boot during warmups of last week's game against Houston, so this news isn't quite surprising. If the Red Raiders don't make late adds to their schedule, McCullar will get some extra time to recover, as his next chance to suit up is Dec. 22 against Oklahoma.

Another strong scoring output McClung notched 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and a block in 23 minutes during Friday's 80-46 win over Troy.

Impact The Red Raiders dominated the entire game and McClung was at the center of the offense, carrying the team and being one of the three Texas Tech players that scored more than 12 points. He has been a reliable scoring threat on a game-to-game basis, though, surpassing the 15-point mark in each of his first four games of the 2020-21 season. He is averaging 18.5 points while shooting 53.3 percent from the field and 40 percent from three-point range in four games.
