Lubbock, Texas ? Robert Tomaszek scored 19 points and Andre Emmett added 16 as Texas Tech beat SMU 77-59 Tuesday night.

After leading by 13 at halftime, Tech (2-0) extended its lead in a 8-2 run brought about by two assists by Nick Valdez and one by Will Chavis, for a 47-28 lead.

SMU (1-1) fought back to within seven points to trail 51-44 after an 16-4 run midway through the second half. The Mustangs could get no closer.

When the Mustangs were behind by nine, SMU’s Justin Isham missed an easy dunk off an alley-oop pass that appeared to dampen any momentum the Mustangs had going. It was long enough for Tech to stiffen and the Red Raiders went on to regain a 19-point lead with less than two minutes remaining.

Turnovers hurt both teams as Tech and SMU got sloppy with passes and faced one another’s hawking defense in the first half. The Mustangs ended with 18; Tech had 19.

The Mustangs shot as poorly as 37 percent early in the first half on 7-of-19, including an almost four-minute stretch where they couldn’t hit a basket. They finished the game shooting 37 percent on 20-of-53 while Tech shot 46 percent on 29-of-63.
