Starting 5

1. Stats. You are getting a very quick preview from me. Stonehill is one of the worst programs in Division I (statistically speaking) so not a ton to love here. The only thing they do well is limit teams free throw rate, 14th in the nation and they are top 3rd in getting to the line, 113th. Everything else is in the 250th or above rank.

2. Scouting. Boldin is likely the son of the former NFL’er and he’s the team’s best offensive player but didn’t get a ton of minutes hte last time out. Ruth is also a decent offensive player, but basically everyone is undersized. Kemar Grant is also a good offensive weapon, but he didn’t play the last game out.

3. How They Match Up. Texas Tech should absolutely dominate here.

5. Official Site. The official site has their preview right here:

With the thrill of a win over No. 3 Illinois securely on the resume, No. 16 Texas Tech turns its attention to a 1 p.m. matchup against Stonehill College on Saturday where it looks to extend a non-conference home winning streak to 50 games at United Supermarkets Arena. The game time change is due to travel issues for Stonehill College with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issuing a nationwide ground stop on Friday.

The Red Raiders (3-0) are coming off an 84-78 win over the Fighting Illini in a game they never trailed and led by 20 at halftime and where Cruz Davis went for 20 points and five assists and Jamichael Stillwell recorded a double-double with 13 rebounds and 11 points in his Tech debut. Tech, which had three wins over Top 5 opponents last season, has now won seven games over Top 10 opponents under Grant McCasland who is just beginning his fourth season leading the program. The win over Illinois was the highest ranked non-conference home win in program history and extended a 49-game non-conference home winning streak that dates back to 2020.
