Last Night in College Basketball: Auburn Won at the Buzzer ... Until it Didn't

Donovan Atwell - Ramps up long-range shooting Atwell contributed 13 points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 69-65 loss to Houston.

Impact Atwell, a senior transfer from UNC-Greensboro, has actually improved his efficiency with the move to the Big 12, shooting a career best 42.9 percent from the field through 15 games, all starts. His three-point shooting has also improved, helped by the fact that Atwell is 8-for-19 from distance through two games of league play. He's scored 13 or more in three straight and will look to keep it going Saturday at Colorado.

Jaylen Petty - Surging offensive production Petty recorded 20 points (6-10 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 69-65 loss to Houston.

Impact Petty led the way for the Red Raiders with 20 points, connecting on five triples to help spur the scoring outburst. After coming off the bench through his first 11 appearances, the freshman wing has started the last three and has responded by matching that season-best 20-point output during two of those three contests. Petty had averaged 7.2 points and 3.2 rebounds across 26.5 minutes when coming off the bench but has taken a big step forward in the few games since being inserted into the starting lineup. Across 32.0 minutes in his three starts, he has elevated his averages to 17.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 61.5-percent from the floor and 52.4-percent from long range.

LaTrell Hoover - Taking a redshirt year Hoover will redshirt for 2025-26 and miss the remainder of the season, per Nathan Giese of the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.

Impact Hoover had yet to play in a game this season, and indeed, he'll redshirt and miss the rest of the year for the Red Raiders. The freshman seven-footer will look to contribute next season in Lubbock.

LeJuan Watts - 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.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

JT Toppin - Posts another double double Toppin totaled 23 points (10-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 30 minutes during Saturday's 102-80 victory over Oklahoma State.

Impact Toppin kicked off the conference slate in the same manner he finished the non-conference portion of the schedule, recording his third-consecutive double double as Texas Tech cruised to the win. It was the ninth time the All-American has pulled off the feat this season and the fourth time he's done so while tallying at least 20 points. Toppin was the consensus first pick during fantasy draft season and has lived up to expectation, averaging 21.2 points, 10.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.2 steals across 33.5 minutes though 13 contests.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Anderson - Dishes out 13 assists Anderson closed with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Saturday's 102-80 win over Oklahoma State.

Impact Anderson dished out a career-best 13 dimes to go along with 19 points and five boards as the Red Raiders cruised to an easy victory to open the conference slate. The sophomore playmaker is in the midst of a major breakthrough season with Saturday representing the fifth time he's reached double figures in the assist column and the fourth time he's produced a double double. Through 14 games, Anderson has been on the floor for at least 35 minutes in every contest and is rewarding Texas Tech with averages of 20.5 points, 7.5 assists, 3.7 boards and 1.8 steals while shooting 49.7-percent from the floor and 43.5-percent from long range.
