Peavy Carries TCU to Road Win
Micah Peavy registered 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, three blocks and three steals in 33 minutes during Saturday’s 75-72 victory over Kansas State. After getting held to single-digit scoring in three consecutive contests, Peavy responded with his best fantasy outing of the season since a triple-double back in December. The senior has started every game this year for the Horned Frogs, who improved to 7-5 in Big 12 play with the quality road victory.
Williams as Perfect as can be for Tech
Darrion Williams logged 30 points (12-12 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block across his 37 minutes during Texas Tech’s 79-50 win Monday against Kansas. After scoring a career-best 17 when Texas Tech played at Baylor on Feb. 6, Williams returned to TTU so the team could host its next games. He logged a double-double both games. But more importantly, Williams scored more than 20 and reached 30 points for the first time to establish his new career best in the category. To do so, he shot perfectly from the field and free-throw line. Williams’ lone negative was a turnover, being as perfect as he could be Monday.
