No. 19 Texas Tech continued its dominance at home against nonconference opponents, securing its 48th consecutive victory in such games behind a 25-point performance from Gibbs-Lawhorn. The Red Raiders' streak, one of the longest in college basketball, remained intact as they opened the 2026-27 season with a statement win on November 6, 2026.
Gibbs-Lawhorn led the offensive charge, pacing the team with 25 points in a display that underscored Texas Tech's continued strength on its home floor. The program has not lost a nonconference home game since the streak began, a run that spans multiple seasons and coaching tenures.
The victory keeps Texas Tech unbeaten in nonconference play at home and reinforces its status as a formidable opponent in the early going of the season. The Red Raiders will look to extend the streak further as their nonconference schedule progresses.
