However, big man Nick Davidson stepped up in their recent game against SJ State, scoring a season-high 22 points and 11 rebounds. Despite shooting well from the field and beyond the arc, Nevada struggled with free throw conversions, which has been an ongoing issue for the team this season. On the other hand, Texas Tech has a power ranking of 301 and is ranked 99 in offense, averaging 77.20 points per game. They have a strong defensive ranking of 87, allowing an average of 68.05 points against them per game. Offensively, they have solid shooting percentages for field goals, free throws, and three-pointers. Defensively, they allow a decent percentage of field goals and free throws, but struggle with defending three-pointers. Overall, Texas Tech has average rebounding stats and turnovers, but their defensive assists rank slightly higher. In summary, Nevada has faced difficulties in their conference games, while Texas Tech has shown strength in both offense and defense. 2H | Kenan Blackshear, you are RIDICULOUS 💪 #BattleBorn | #PackParty pic.twitter.com/K0oaDf2OIo
