LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) \u2014 JT Toppin scored 19 points and grabbed 16 rebounds as No. 20 Texas Tech<\/a> rebounded from a lopsided loss to beat New Orleans 82-50 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n Christian Anderson added 23 points with six 3-pointers and five assists for the Red Raiders (5-2), who were coming off a 30-point loss to No. 1 Purdue<\/a> five days earlier in the Bahamas. Donovan Atwell had 13 points in 23 minutes before fouling out with 8:43 left in the game, and Luke Bamgboye also scored 13 points and LeJuan Watts had 12.<\/p>\n The Red Raiders extended their non-conference home winning streak to 43 games in a row, the last 20 with third-year coach Grant McCasland. They haven\u2019t lost a nonconference home game since an overtime loss to No. 15 Kentucky in January 2020.<\/p>\n Jakevion Buckley led New Orleans (2-5) with 16 points. The Privateers, who haven\u2019t yet played a regular-season game at home, were coming off an overtime loss Monday night at Mississippi State.<\/p>\n Toppin, the preseason AP All-America<\/a> junior forward, scored the Red Raiders\u2019 first six points in a 12-2 run to start the second half that put them up by double-digits the rest of the game. Toppin finished with his third double-double this season, and 22nd in his 39 games with Texas Tech.<\/p>\n A 10-0 run midway through the first half put Tech ahead to stay. That spurt started with Anderson\u2019s 3-pointer that made it 20-18, and ended with his free throw 2 1\/2 minutes later.<\/p>\n Up next<\/p>\n New Orleans plays Wednesday at Memphis. Texas Tech is home again Sunday against Wyoming.<\/p>\n ___<\/p>\n Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here<\/a> and here<\/a> (AP mobile app).
