FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) Christian Anderson had 27 points, eight assists and five rebounds and No. 19 Texas Tech<\/a> handed LSU<\/a> its first loss, blowing out the Tigers 82-58 on Sunday.<\/p>\n J.T. Toppin added 11 points and 15 rebounds while LeJuan Watts had 15 points and 10 boards for the Red Raiders (7-2) in front of a decidedly pro-Texas Tech crowd on a neutral court at Dickies Arena.<\/p>\n DJ Thomas Jr. scored 13 points and Mike Nwoko had 10 as the only players in double figures for the Tigers (8-1), who shot 26% in the first half and trailed 47-26 at the break in their first game against a ranked opponent.<\/p>\n Both of Texas Tech’s losses are to Top 25 teams, including a 30-point loss to No. 1 Purdue in the Bahamas two weeks ago.<\/p>\n Anderson and Jaylen Petty combined for all the points on a 10-2 run for a 33-13 lead with 8 1\/2 minutes left in the first half. Petty was 3 of 4 on 3-pointers and scored 11 points.<\/p>\n Atwell helped the Red Raiders build a nine-point lead in the first four minutes with a pair of 3-pointers on either side of a bucket by Anderson, who scored 20 points before halftime.<\/p>\n Australian guard Max Mackinnon missed all nine shots and scored two points, the second time this season the Portland transfer has been limited to just a pair of free throws. The Tigers shot 33% and were just 4 of 24 from long range.<\/p>\n Both teams play at neutral sites again Saturday. LSU faces SMU in New Orleans, while Texas Tech will be in Dallas against No. 25 Arkansas.<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here.
