Suffers season-ending torn ACL Toppin (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the Tuesday night loss to Arizona State, which will end his season, Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Toppin was in the midst of an excellent game in the Red Raiders' loss to Arizona State, with 20 points, eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and four blocks before he tore his ACL, ending the star forward's season. It's an absolutely brutal blow for a Texas Tech team with national title hopes, as Toppin averaged 21.8 points and 10.8 rebounds this season in what's easily been a career year. In his stead, expect more playing time for Luke Bamgboye and Josiah Moseley.

Suffers leg injury at ASU Toppin suffered a leg injury during Tuesday's 72-67 loss at Arizona State, ESPN reports.

Impact With just over six minutes remaining in the game's second half, off a fast break, Toppin attempted a driving layup over Massamba Diop. In an attempt to evade Diop, Toppin landed his right leg both hard and awkwardly, which resulted in play stopping once he kept writhing in pain, grabbing his right knee while lying on the court. Toppin, who logged 20 points, eight rebounds, four blocks and two steals for Texas Tech at Arizona State, did not return to ASU's court to finish off the game. As the Red Raiders shift their focus to a Saturday afternoon game against Kansas State, just as much attention will go towards their superstar forward, who has once again carried them to excellence in the Big 12 Conference.

Toppin leads No. 16 Texas Tech against Arizona State

No. 16 Texas Tech visits the Arizona State Sun Devils after JT Toppin scored 31 points in the Red Raiders' 78-75 overtime win over the Arizona Wildcats

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Knocks off Arizona with valiant showing Toppin provided 31 points (13-22 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 44 minutes during Saturday's 78-75 OT victory over Arizona.

Impact It was perfect timing for Toppin's sixth 30-plus point game of the season, as the Red Raiders picked up a signature road victory over the top-ranked team in the country -- one that will surely play a role in the seeding conversation come March. Toppin was pivotal in the overtime period, taking on a tough Arizona frontcourt and scoring eight of the team's 12 points -- all coming on baskets within 10 feet. While many will stress that March is about guard play, Toppin remains a game-changing player who can single-handedly will a team to victory.

No. 16 Texas Tech hosts Colorado after Toppin's 22-point game

No. 16 Texas Tech hosts the Colorado Buffaloes after JT Toppin scored 22 points in Texas Tech's 70-63 victory over the West Virginia Mountaineers

FEBRUARY 10 • Associated Press

Another 20-point effort Toppin finished Sunday's 70-63 win over West Virginia with 22 points (8-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 37 minutes.

Impact Toppin has now gone two-straight games without putting together a double double for just the second time this season. It was also the first time the All-American big man shot under 50-percent in consecutive games, though he was perfect from the line for the first time since last February. That a 22-9 performance ends up being relatively nondescript is a testament to just how good Toppin has been this season. Through 22 games, Toppin is averaging 21.8 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.6 blocks with 13 20-point performances, 15 10-plus rebounding efforts and 14 double doubles.
