Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils at Texas Tech Red Raiders

Moretti career-high 17 for Texas Tech in 84-52 win over MVSU

The Red Raiders (2-0) haven't trailed this season, scoring the first nine points against Mississippi Valley only three nights after a season-opening 50-point victory over Incarnate Word.

Jordan Evans had 16 points with four 3s, and Michael Green made three 3s while scoring 15 points for the Delta Devils (0-2).

BIG PICTURE

Mississippi Valley St.: A 32-point loss was a bit of progress for Mississippi Valley, considering its 69-point loss at Nebraska in its opener. The Delta Devils started 0-20 last season.

Texas Tech: After going to the NCAA Elite Eight for the first time last season, and losing five seniors and one-and-done standout Zhaire Smith, the Red Raiders are still figuring out combinations on the court. There were 13 players who got into the game, seven of them playing at least 17 minutes. Tech shot 50 percent from the field (32 of 64), and 42 percent on 3-pointers (8 of 19) to go along with a 49-25 rebounding advantage.

UP NEXT

Texas Tech: The Red Raiders wrap up their season-opening three-game homestand Tuesday against Southland Conference regular-season champ Southeastern Louisiana. That will be the final tuneup before playing consecutive games in Kansas City on Thanksgiving week, including a game against Southern California.
