Rude welcome for Sooners’ Young

Keenan Evans scored 26 points as No. 7 Texas Tech beat 23rd-ranked Oklahoma 88-78 on Tuesday night in Lubbock, Texas.

Oklahoma’s Trae Young, the Division I scoring leader, was playing his first college game in the city where he was born.

Young, the son of former Texas Tech player Rayford Young, missed all nine 3pointers while finishing with 19 points in front of a hostile crowd that booed him just about every time he touched the ball in the Sooners’ fourth straight loss.

The Red Raiders (22-4, 10-3 Big 12) won their seventh straight game, including a six-game Big 12 run that’s the best in the conference this season. They tied the Sooners for the most Top 25 wins nationally this season at six.

Evans went 4 of 7 from 3-point range, including a fadeaway shot from the left corner that put Texas Tech ahead 79-71 with less than 2 minutes to go. He added his second dunk of the second half moments later between a pair of 3s that kept the Sooners (16-9, 6-7) alive into the final minute. Jayhawks rebound: Udoka Azubuike scored 19 points as No. 13 Kansas (20-6, 9-4 Big 12) bounced back from a brutal loss at Baylor by beating Iowa State 83-77 in Ames, Iowa.
