It was the only field goal of the game for Williams, Texas Tech’s leading scorer, who finished with four points as the Red Raiders (5-1) notched their fourth straight win. Texas Tech also received a team-high 15 points and seven rebounds from Norense Odiase and 12 points off the bench from Toddrick Gotcher in the game, which featured 32 turnovers, 40 fouls, 50 missed field goals and 21 off-target free throws.

KT Harrell had a game-high 17 points but hit only 6-of-15 shots and committed four turnovers as the only double-digit scorer for Auburn (3-3). Jordon Granger had six points, Tahj Shamsid-Deen and TJ Lang added five apiece and Cinmeon Bowers had four points and eight rebounds for the Tigers, who shot 36.2 percent from the floor and only hit 4-of-11 free-throw attempts.

Auburn led 24-23 at the break, but failed in the score in the opening five minutes of the second half and the hosts used a 13-6 run en route to a 36-30 lead with a little more than 8:30 to play. The Tigers took their first lead of the second half at 40-38 on Granger’s 3-pointer with just over 3 1/2 minutes left, and the Red Raiders tied the game at 42 and again at 44 before Gotcher blocked a Harrell shot in the paint, setting up Williams’ game-winning shot at the other end.

After a back-and-forth opening seven minutes, Auburn used a 12-2 run to take a 20-10 lead, but Texas Tech outscored the visitors 13-4 over the final 7:30 to pull within a point at the break. The Tigers hit five 3-pointers to the Red Raiders’ one in the opening 20 minutes, but the hosts were able to stay close with an 8-1 free-throw advantage and an 18-13 rebound edge.
