Texas Tech Star JT Toppin Injures Lower Right Leg in Loss to Arizona State

In Tempe on Tuesday, Arizona State defeated No. 13 Texas Tech, snapping the Red Raiders' three-game winning streak.
Using a full-court press, Arizona State built a 57-47 lead midway through the second half and forced multiple turnovers, then turned a late Texas Tech rally into an eight-point burst.
Maurice Odum, Arizona State guard, scored 23 points and hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds of the first half, giving ASU a 7-36 halftime edge.
JT Toppin appeared to hurt his right leg with 6:03 remaining and left the game, while Christian Anderson's late turnover ended Texas Tech's final comeback chance.
The result was notable for Bobby Hurley, as Arizona State visits Baylor on Saturday while Texas Tech hosts Kansas State, creating immediate schedule implications.
