Former Texas Tech wing Jaylon Tyson transferring to Cal Tyson shot 40.2 percent from 3 last season, averaging 10.7 points and 6.1 rebounds
Small showing in first-round exit Tyson finished Wednesday's 78-62 loss to West Virginia with five points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes.
Impact Tyson was held to one of his least productive outings of the season, as the Red Raiders lost what could be their final game of the 2022-23 season. This first-round loss in the Big 12 Tournament likely officially eliminates 16-16 Texas Tech from being selected into the field of 68 for the NCAA Tournament. Unless the team accepts an invitation to a different postseason tournament, Tyson will end his emergent sophomore campaign averaging career highs in points (10.7), rebounds (6.1), assists (1.3) and steals (1.4) over 31 starts.

Scores season high Saturday Tyson totaled 27 points (11-15 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 78-72 victory over West Virginia.
Impact Tyson logged double-digit made field goals for the first time this season, leading him to also score more than 20 points for the first time in his 26 starts during the 2022-23 campaign. The 6-foot-7 sophomore's season-best performance also helped Texas Tech secure just its fourth conference win of the 2022-23 season. Tyson has been one of the Red Raiders' most productive players this season with 10.8 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, and he's averaged 16.4 points and 6.0 rebounds per game across his past five outings. He's also outperformed team-leading scorer Kevin Obanor over this span, as the latter has posted 10.8 points and 5.8 boards per contest during that stretch. Tyson will look to keep up this increased production across the team's final four regular-season games, starting with Tuesday's road game versus Oklahoma.

Double-double in defeat Tyson finished Saturday's 89-62 loss to Baylor with 19 points (8-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes.
Impact Tyson posted his third double-double of the season as the Red Raiders were once resoundingly defeated by a Big 12 opponent. Texas Tech is now 1-9 against its conference opponents, though the 6-foot-7 sophomore has been one of the team's most consistent players during this span. Tyson has averaged 9.6 points and 7.6 rebounds to go along with 1.5 steals and 1.8 assists in conference play. He still isn't producing at the same top-end scoring as fellow forward Kevin Obanor, though Tyson's consistency on the boards still makes him a rather solid game-to-game option in Texas Tech's starting lineup.

Seven boards Saturday Tyson chipped in four points (1-4 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and two steals in 22 minutes during Saturday's 76-68 victory over LSU.
Impact Tyson posted his fewest number of field-goal attempts since the season opener against Northwestern State. He also didn't attempt a three-pointer for the first time this season, as he's now hit just six of his 24 field-goal tries over the past three contests. The 6-foot-7 sophomore has still posted at least seven rebounds in six of the last eight games, including back-to-back double-doubles versus Texas (14) and Baylor (12).

Posts first double-double Tyson supplied 12 points (5-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and one assist across 37 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 72-70 loss to Texas.
Impact Tyson logged the first double-double of his career thanks to his career-high 14 boards. The 6-foot-7 sophomore had to serve a big role on the boards with 6-foot-6 junior KJ Allen (leg) missing his third game in a row Saturday. Tyson has now posted double-digit points in eight of his 16 starts this season, as he's converted 47.9 of his 7.4 field-goal tries per game. Tyson will likely continue to play an increased role so long as Allen remains sidelined moving forward.

Nears double-double in tight loss Tyson closed Tuesday's 75-72 loss to Kansas with 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and three steals over 36 minutes.
Impact Tyson paced the Red Raiders in boards as the team was outrebounded 32 to 28 by the Jayhawks' relatively taller starting five. The sophomore forward also posted one of his best defensive performances of the season, matching his season highs in steals and defensive rebounds (eight). Tyson has now averaged 10.0 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals while also converting 52.1 percent of his field-goal tries this season. He'll likely need to post another stout performance down low against Oklahoma's frontcourt on Saturday.
