(KCBD) &#8211; Whether it came from the high altitude of the Rocky Mountains or Colorado\u2019s comeback attempt in the second half, the No. 14 Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-4, 2-1 Big 12) had plenty of reasons to be out of breath Saturday night as they escaped the CU Events Center with a 73-71 win over the Buffaloes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tech led 50-27 shortly after the break, until freshman guard Isaiah Johnson registered 21 second-half points and the Buffaloes snuck up on the Red Raiders late in the game. A three-point attempt from Colorado guard Barrington Hargress bounced off the rim as time expired and Tech held on for its second victory in Big 12 play, first on the road.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Donovan Atwell led the Red Raiders with 17 points (including five three pointers), JT Toppin had 16 points and 13 rebounds, Christian Anderson scored 15 points- including a three-pointer, right as the first half ended.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Tech men will return to the United Supermarkets Arena Wednesday night and host the Utah Utes.
