STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) - Pop Isaacs scored 19 points, Darrion Williams added 18 and Texas Tech jumped out early and cruised past Oklahoma State 75-58 on Tuesday night.
Williams and Isaacs each shot 5 of 6 from the field with a pair of 3s and scored 12 points each to help Texas Tech build a 38-17 halftime advantage. Oklahoma State shot just 21% (6 of 28) and missed 13 of 14 from long range before the break. The Red Raiders opened on a 12-1 run and never trailed, leading by as many 25 points in the second half.

Chance McMillian chipped in with three 3-pointers and finished with 14 points for the Red Raiders, who shot 50% (28 of 56) from the field and made 12 of 13 from the free-throw line.
Texas Tech (21-9, 10-7 Big 12), which entered having topped West Virginia 81-70 on the road, has won consecutive games for the first time since beating UCF and routing then-No. 6 Kansas on Feb. 12. The Red Raiders have won seven of their last nine against Oklahoma State (12-18, 4-13).
