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.
