The time is now Watts logged 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 26 minutes during Saturday's 100-72 victory over Kansas State.

Impact Watts stepped up in a big way in Texas Tech's first game following the loss of JT Toppin, tallying 19 points and adding six boards while shooting better than 50-percent on 11 shots from the floor. After getting off to a strong start in conference play by averaging 12.8 points and 8.3 rebounds through the first six conference games, Watts had reached double figures in scoring just once in seven games prior to Saturday, averaging 8.1 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting just 29.0-percent from the floor. With Toppin out for the season, the time is now for Watts, who will be relied upon to take on a greater role for the Red Raiders, as they still have high postseason aspirations.

Darryn Peterson's Clutch 3-Pointers Lift Kansas Over Texas Tech

Takes on larger role Watts closed with 19 points (8-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Monday's 64-61 loss to Kansas.

Impact With Christian Anderson scratched late with an illness and JT Toppin struggling throughout the night, Watts took on a larger role, turning a season-high 22 shot attempts into 19 points while dishing out five assists and collecting two thefts as the Red Raiders fell to the Jayhawks. Watts also pulled down six of his season-best 12 rebounds on the offensive end to amass his third double double of the campaign and his second in nine conference games. This big performance came on the heels of consecutive games in which he had combined for just 12 points and seven boards. This big performance now renders him with averages of 12.0 points, 7.7 boards, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals during conference play, though he's only shooting 36.3-percent from the field.

JT Toppin scores 27 points to lead No. 15 Texas Tech to an 84-71 victory over No. 11 BYU

JT Toppin had 27 points and 12 rebounds, and No. 15 Texas Tech rallied in the second half for an 84-71 victory over 11th-ranked BYU, ending the Cougars’ 13-game winning streak

JANUARY 18 • Associated Press

Solid complimentary piece Watts contributed 20 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Saturday's 84-71 win over BYU.

Impact Watts tallied 20 points while falling two rebounds shy of a double double as the Red Raiders improved to 4-1 in conference play. The junior forward came into the game struggling a bit on the offensive end, averaging 9.6 points while failing to reach double figures in three of the previous five contests. Watts continues to play in the immense shadow of JT Toppin and Christian Anderson, who combined for 49 points on Saturday, but has had some solid performances, crashing the glass for at least seven rebounds in five straight while reaching the 20-point mark on four separate occasions. He'll look to put up a strong follow up performance on Tuesday when the Red Raiders travel to Waco to take on Baylor.

Just misses double double Watts posted 19 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Saturday's 102-80 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Watts put together a nice performance during his Big 12 conference debut, falling just one rebound shy of what would have been his second double double of the season. The junior forward tallied just four points against Winthrop in the Red Raiders' final game of the non-conference slate but he rebounded in a big way by scoring at least 19 points for the fifth time this season. Watts has been an important third wheel for Texas Tech thus far, complimenting JT Toppin and Christian Anderson with averages of 14.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists while shooting better than 50-percent from the floor.

Detonates for career-high 36 Watts provided 36 points (12-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 9-11 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 101-90 victory over Northern Colorado.

Impact Watts exploded for a career-high 36 points on 12-for-13 shooting as Texas Tech pulled away late to take down the Bears. The junior forward connected on all nine of his shots from within the paint while also going a season-best 3-for-4 from beyond the arc. The 36 points were 12 clear of his previous high-water performance, a 24-point effort last season while at Washington State. Third-ranked Duke is up next for the Red Raiders and Watts will hope that this scoring eruption is a harbinger of things to come as he has averaged less than 10 points in three previous matchups this season against ranked teams.

Produces off bench Watts chipped in 12 points (2-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds and two assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 82-50 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Watts came off the bench for the second-consecutive game to record 12 points despite continuing to struggle from the floor. The junior forward, who also pulled down eight rebounds, started the season strong, shooting 62.5-percent from the floor over his first three games but has not had nearly as much success over the subsequent three-game stretch, connecting on just three of 20 attempts. Despite this recent rough stretch, overall Watts has had a productive start to his time in Lubbock, averaging 10.3 points, 5.8 boards and 2.3 assists across 25.7 minutes while starting three of six contests thus far.
