AMES, Iowa (AP) -- Mike Singletary scored a season-high 33 points, D'walyn Roberts added 16 with 11 rebounds and Texas Tech knocked off Iowa State 92-83 Wednesday night for its first road win of the season.

Brad Reese had 14 for the Red Raiders (10-11, 2-4 Big 12), who have won two straight after an 0-4 start in league play.

Diante Garrett had 27 points to lead the Cyclones (14-7, 1-5), who've lost five of six and have dropped three straight for the first time this season.

Texas Tech entered play just 10th in the league in field goal percentage, but the Red Raiders sliced up Iowa State's defense for 35 baskets on 27 assists and shot 7 of 12 from 3-point range.

Texas Tech pushed a four-point halftime lead to 14 early in the second half. Melvin Ejim's tip-in with 51 seconds left brought Iowa State within 85-80, but David Tairu quickly fed Reese for a dunk that sealed the win.
