Won't play Sunday McCullar (ankle) will not play in Sunday's game against Houston, Ryan Mainville of the Daily Toreador reports.

Impact McCullar has been fighting an ankle injury and appears to still need a bit more time before making his first appearance of the season. The sophomore was sporting a walking boot during pregame warmups of Sunday's game which entails he'll likely need at least another week before any discussion of potentially returning.

Starting after strong practices Peavy will start Wednesday's season opener against Northwestern State, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Peavy has been turning heads in practice according to reports, so a starting spot in the opener was not out of the question. The Red Raiders are extremely deep on the perimeter when healthy, so we'll see how the rotation shakes out over the next few weeks.

Not warming up Wednesday McCullar was not spotted at pregame warmups, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact It's not clear as to why McCullar is not warming up with the team, as there were no reports of any type of injury issue with the sophomore forward. If McCullar can't go Wednesday, the Red Raiders will take on Sam Houston on Friday next.

Will not redshirt this season Burton will be available to play this season after initially planning to redshirt, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Texas Tech has ample depth in the backcourt this season, which is why the Wichita State transfer initially was considering redshirting. Burton will likely come off the bench behind Kyler Edwards and Mac McClung to play more of a sixth man role. In any event, he should still see mid-20 minutes per contest.
