Tech Continues Sooner Slide in Lubbock, 67-47

Andre Emmett scored 21 points and No. 18 Texas Tech won its 11th straight game, defeating No. 20 Oklahoma 67-47 Monday night.

The winning streak is Tech's longest under coach Bob Knight. The Red Raiders won 10 in a row during the 2001-02 season -- his first at the school -- before a loss at Oklahoma.

Earlier in the day, the Red Raiders (15-2, 3-0 Big 12) moved up to their highest ranking under Knight.

The Sooners (10-4, 0-3), meanwhile, dropped their fourth straight game. In three of the defeats -- against Connecticut, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech -- they lost by at least 20 points.

Oklahoma has lost four in a row for the first time in five seasons. The Sooners are off to an 0-3 start in conference play for the first time since the 1980-81 season.

Devonne Giles and Jackson added 12 points each and Ronald Ross got 10 for the Red Raiders.

Jason Detrick scored 11 points, and Larry Turner and Lawrence McKenzie added nine each to lead the Sooners.

Oklahoma, which was last in the Big 12 in field-goal percentage (42 percent) coming into the game, again had difficulty finding the basket. They finished 19-of-58 for 33 percent.

The Sooners' point total matched their lowest of the season, set in a 47-45 win over Purdue in December.

It was also the lowest point total allowed by Tech this season. The Red Raiders beat Massachusetts 90-50 in a preseason NIT game.

Tech ended its three-game losing streak against Oklahoma. Last January, the Red Raiders fell at Oklahoma 69-64 in overtime in a game that included a clock controversy.

Two timing mistakes were determined by Big 12 officials to have been caused by the timekeeper. Knight behaved as if he believed Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson would forfeit the win -- he did not.

The Red Raiders used a 15-2 run to go up 25-13 and held the Sooners to just three field goals in the final 11:20 of the first half.
