WACO, Texas (AP) \u2014 Christian Anderson had 26 points while making eight of Texas Tech<\/a>\u2019s program record-tying 17 3-pointers and the No. 12 Red Raiders beat Baylor<\/a> 92-73 on Tuesday night for their fourth win in a row.<\/p>\n

Donovan Atwell had 21 points on seven 3s, all in the first half, and JT Toppin scored 22 points for the Red Raiders (15-4, 5-1 Big 12). They never trailed while making 17 3s for the third time this season \u2014 and 14 before halftime, which was a conference record.<\/p>\n

Toppin\u2019s career-best streak of seven consecutive double-doubles ended with only four rebounds.<\/p>\n

The Red Raiders shot 60% overall (33 of 55), and were even better on 3s at 63% (17 of 27). Anderson\u2019s eight 3s were a career high, and came on 10 shots from beyond the arc.<\/p>\n

Tech led 23-10 before Toppin even took a shot, which came after the 6-foot-9 preseason AP All-America post grabbed a defensive rebound and went the length of the court for a layup while being fouled with 11:16 left in the first half.<\/p>\n

Atwell scored Tech\u2019s first 12 points with four 3s in the first 3:05 of the game. His seven 3s on 10 attempts were a season high, and one off his career best.<\/p>\n

Anderson had 20 points and six of his 3s in the first half, which finished with his step-back 3 for a 55-36 lead.<\/p>\n
