Not warming up Batcho (undisclosed) is not warming up ahead of Saturday's game against Kansas State, Jordan Majewski of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Batcho is not participating in pregame warmups, and he is questionable to suit up on Saturday. The 6-foot-11 sophomore has appeared in 21 games this season, logging 8.1 points, six rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.7 blocks on 24.9 minutes per game.

Plays 12 minutes off the bench Batcho contributed two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 12 minutes during Saturday's 89-62 loss to Baylor.

Impact Batcho was active for Saturday's game despite sustaining a knee injury in Monday's loss to Iowa State. However, he did not fulfill his usual spot in the starting lineup, and he was limited to his fewest minutes since the game against the Cyclones. In the eight games prior to his injury, Batcho averaged just 6.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.5 assists. Therefore, it's likely the France native will continue to put up limited production even if he does return to the starting lineup in place of injured center Fardaws Aimaq (foot). Texas Tech's next game will come against Oklahoma State on Wednesday.

Impact Batcho suffered a knee injury when Texas Tech hosted Iowa State on Jan. 30. Fortunately for him, he will not be expected to log any absences. Texas Tech's upcoming game is a matchup Batcho can benefit from. Fardaws Aimaq (foot) could sit out when the Raiders play No. 11.

FEBRUARY 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets start against West Virginia Batcho will start in place of the injured Fardaws Aimaq on Wednesday night.

Impact Batcho has been a steady contributor for the Red Raiders, but he'll re-enter the starting five with Fardaws Aimaq out for the game. The big man is putting up 9.6 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 26.1 minutes this season.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Batcho will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against Baylor.

Impact Batcho will play a reserve role in favor of Fardaws Aimaq. It is unclear if this decision is simply matchup based or something the team is considering sticking with going forward.

JANUARY 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 32 minutes in return Batcho ended with four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 84-50 loss to Iowa State.

The 6-foot-11 sophomore has started in 12 games this season, logging 11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 2.1 blocks on 27.4 minutes per game. Batcho, who has averaged just four points and six rebounds across his last three appearances, will look to get back on track against Texas on Saturday.

Warming up Tuesday Batcho (finger) is suited up for warmups ahead of Tuesday's game versus Iowa State, Travis Hines of The Des Moines Register reports.

JANUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday Batcho (finger) is in street clothes and is not warming up ahead of Saturday's 7:00 pm E.T. game against Oklahoma, Carlos Silva Jr. of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal reports.

Impact Batcho appeared to dislocate his right ring finger during Tuesday's loss to Texas Tech, making him a game-time decision heading into Sunday's game. However, his lack of participation pregame should all but confirm that he'll now miss at least one contest due to this injury. Batcho has recorded 11.8 points and 8.2 rebounds across 12 games with 11 starts this season, and his absence should leave KJ Allen and Robert Jennings to take on bigger roles alongside 6-foot-8 forward Kevin Obanor.

JANUARY 7, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Batcho (finger) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Oklahoma, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Batcho injured his finger in Texas Tech's 75-72 lsoss to Kansas on Tuesday. If he is ultimately unable to go, Robert Jennings would be the likely candidate to replace him at center, while Kevin Obanor could also see some extra run. More clarity will come closer to tip-off.

Suffers finger injury Batcho suffered a finger injury during Texas Tech's 75-72 loss Tuesday versus Kansas.

JANUARY 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Saturday Batcho (ankle) will not play Saturday against Jackson State, Jordan Majewski of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Batcho will miss a second straight game due to an ankle injury and figures to be replaced by Robert Jennings in the starting five once again. Batcho is off to a strong start this year, averaging 13 points and 8.3 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

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.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Tuesday Batcho is a game-time decision Tuesday versus Eastern Washington.

Impact Batcho has an ankle injury that could prevent him from participating in the Red Raiders' next game. They have fewer than four hours to select his status.

DECEMBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leads scoring effort in loss Batcho ended with 17 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes during Monday's 76-65 loss to Creighton.

Impact Batcho logged a career high in points during Texas Tech's first game in the Maui Jim Maui Invitational. Even though the Red Raiders ultimately fell just one point short, the 6-foot-11 sophomore logged an efficient scoring effort while attempting a career-high 12 field-goal attempts, and he also splashed just the first three-pointer of his career. While Batcho was outrebounded by 6-foot-7 Bluejays guard Baylor Scheierman, the big man could be poised to emerge as one of the best scoring centers in the Big 12 this season.

NOVEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Six rejections in start Batcho amassed nine points (3-6 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds and six blocks over 29 minutes during Monday's 64-55 victory over Louisiana Tech.

Impact Batcho ultimately played starting minutes despite not being listed in the Red Raiders' starting five pregame. As a result, the 6-foot-11 sophomore logged a career high in blocks as he dominated the paint against an undersized Louisiana Tech squad. Batcho should continue to play an important role down low on defense while cleaning up the glass against Creighton next Monday.

NOVEMBER 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Monday Batcho is not listed in Texas Tech's starting lineup ahead of Monday's game versus Louisiana Tech.

Impact Batcho appears set to come off the bench as the Red Raiders opt to go with a small-ball lineup, with guards De'Vion Harmon, Richard Isaacs and D'Maurian Williams all listed in the team's starting five Monday. While it's unclear if this starting configuration is just an anomaly or a trend for Texas Tech, it will be worth monitoring the sophomore center's role heading into next Monday's game against Creighton.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in season opener Batcho totaled 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Monday's 73-49 victory over Northwestern State.

Impact Batcho logged team highs in points and rebounds during the first start of his career Monday night. The 6-foot-11 sophomore averaged 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in 9.8 minutes across 33 games last season, and he'll look to further establish his starting role Thursday versus Texas Southern.

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Biggest standout in scrimmage Batcho was the best player in Texas Tech's scrimmage against Tulsa, according to Jeff Goodman of Stadium.

Impact Batcho showed flashes as a raw freshman of a lot of potential down the road. It seems that the 6-11 sophomore had a really good offseason. Batcho has huge opportunity in front of him with elite transfer Fardaws Aimaq set to miss the first few months of the season with a broken foot. If Batcho can get off to a good start to the season he will likely keep a decent role even after Aimaq is able to return. Veteran forward Kevin Obanor will be his main running mate in the frontcourt to begin the campaign on Nov. 7 against Northwestern State.
