After the home defeat with Baylor, the Red Raiders assert their field factor in a sold out and hot United Supermarkets Arena. A one-way race, with Texas Tech that continues from the first minute of the match and always maintains the advantage, overflowing in the second half, thanks also to a great ballistic performance by Davide Moretti.
Texas Tech starts off very strong and in the first 5 minutes of the game immediately scores an 11-2 partial. Iowa State in the second half of the first half is more combative, however, and manages to get back into the game, getting closer to the Red Raiders, up to -2, 13-15. Texas Tech, however, after the partial opponent, is good at responding immediately with a counter break and restoring distances. At the end of the first half the score is 27-21 for the home team.
The first flashes of the second half are from Iowa State which, with four consecutive points, goes back to -2, 27-25. The Red Raiders, however, are certainly not watching and, driven by their warm audience, they find a deadly partial, guided by 7 points by Moretti, which makes Texas Tech fly at +11, 41-29. Iowa State tries timidly to respond, but the Red Raiders significantly raise their defensive and offensive intensity, continuing to grind baskets and keeping their opponents at very low percentages. After the break in the first half of the period, the second part of the period serves Texas Tech only to consolidate the advantage and to express a high quality of play, in front of which Iowa State can do nothing. The Red Raiders end the match with a 72-52 win over Iowa State.
For Davide Moretti, a second half as absolute protagonist, especially from the offensive point of view with 17 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in 33 minutes.
