Big 12 and Pac 10

The Texas Longhorns didn’t let Bob Knight’s Texas Tech Red Raiders get in the way of their winning streak.

LaMarcus Aldridge scored 19 points and grabbed seven rebounds as No. 5 Texas whipped Tech 80-46 on Tuesday night.

Brad Buckman recovered from his latest leg injury and added 16 points and nine rebounds for Texas, 15-2 and 3-0 in the Big 12. Texas has won seven straight.

Texas has played stellar defense throughout its winning streak and used another superb effort to stifle the Red Raiders from the opening tip. Texas forced 19 turnovers and held Tech to 37-percent shooting.

Jarrius Jackson led the Red Raiders, 10-8 and 2-2, with 21 points. Knight is 2-8 against Texas in his five seasons with the Raiders.

The Longhorns built a big early lead by taking — and making — just about any shot they wanted.

Buckman, who has missed four games because of various injures, had 14 points and five rebounds in the first half. One of Texas’ strongest post players, Buckman also hit two three-pointers.
