exas Tech senior running back DeAndre Washington made the school record books last week when he became the first Red Raider to run for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons since 1996. On Saturday, he made history again during his last game ever at Jones AT&T Stadium.

Sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II handed the ball off to Washington 27 times for 248 yards and three touchdowns. The yards were a career high for Washington.

“It was awesome. (Washington) is a great guy, a great leader,” Mahomes II said. “He will be very missed next year. It was great for him to go out in the Jones like that. He loves Texas Tech and for him to go out like that was awesome.”

The 248 rushing yards marked the most for a Tech player since Oct. 16, 1999, according to a Tech Athletics news release, and the seventh-most rushing yards ever for a Tech player.

Even though Washington ran the ball 27 times, Tech coach Kliff Kings-

bury said the Red Raiders probably should have called his number a few more times.

“We probably didn’t run it enough, honestly. We had a couple of negative plays trying to throw the ball and a couple of drives that we probably should have just let him keep going,” he said.

“Very excited for him and proud of him on Senior Day to have such a night.”

Of his 27 carries, none of them went for negative yardage. The senior running back ended up with 284 total yards, as he hauled in four catches for 36 yards.

Washington got his productive day started with a 5-yard touchdown run on a misdirection play.

On the second play of the next Red Raider drive, Washington showed off his speed and elusiveness by breaking four tackles en route to an 80-yard touchdown run, the longest run of his career.

Texas Tech honored veterans with various events last week including during a ceremony on Veterans Day, and it finished the week with the Military Appreciation Football Game on Saturday.

Clint Young, a senior sociology and economics dual

major from Southlake and member of the Army ROTC program, said he enjoyed watching the military themed game last year.

“Last year we had a bunch of members from the Wounded Warrior Project parachute into the game,” he said. “That was really awesome.”

At the start of the game, two bomber jets flew over

Jones AT&T Stadium during “The Matador Song.’

The members of the Army ROTC Ranger Challenge team also got recognized on the field, and the Red Team finished fourth out of teams from eight states during the brigade competition Nov. 7 through Nov. 9.

Students, staff discuss One Love Week

By EASTON WOLLNEY Staff WritEr

As the first One Love Week at Texas Tech came to an end, students and faculty members shared their experiences throughout the week.

Toddrick Gotcher, an exercise and sport sciences graduate student from Garland and guard for the Tech basketball team, said he at-

tended workshops throughout the week and students on campus were excited about One Love Week.

“It’s really been good and everybody’s excited for Texas Tech to have this One Love foundation on campus,” Gotcher said.

His goal this week was to spread awareness about violence and signs of unhealthy relationships to

peers, Gotcher said.

Kimberly Simón, director of the Risk Intervention and Safety Education Office, said screenings of the film “Escalation” took place inside the Student Union Building, the law school, Frazier Alumni Pavilion and residence halls throughout the week.

On Friday afternoon at Jones AT & T S t a d i u m , Te c h P r e s i d e n t Duane M. Nellis and Director of Athletics Kirby Hocutt gave updates on all the new athletic facilities that are or will be built on campus in the coming years.

The focal point of the news conference was to unveil a video and drawings of the Sports Performance Center.

The center will contain an indoor football practice field, an indoor track facility, equipment facilities as well as new strength and conditioning rooms for student athletes.

A retractable wall will be between the football and track facilities, according to the video that was shown.

“This facility will house a new indoor football practice facility, which will be an important recruiting tool for our program and ensure that our football team will never have to be delayed or miss another practice,” Hocutt said. “I believe there have been six times this year where our football program has had to delay practice or even cancel practice due to weather.”

It was announced the new facilities

will be named the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. Athletics Complex, which will be located south of Jones AT&T Stadium.

Whitacre is a Tech graduate and former CEO and president of AT&T. He has been a key donor to Tech Athletics, Hocutt said.

“The Whitacre Athletic Complex will be the hub,” he said. “It will be the primary place where the majority of our student athletes spend all of their time.”

The complex will replace the Athletic Training Center, or “The Bubble.”

Tech Athletics has a goal to open the new facility in Fall 2017.

On the track side of the facility, a 200-meter indoor track with seating for approximately 2,500 people will be installed.

“This incredible new facility will be the best of its kind in the Big 12 Conference and one of the best in the country,” Hocutt said. “It will allow us to host the Big 12 Conference Championship.”

Track and field coach Wes Kittley said the new facilities will not only help with Big 12 events, but will attract some of the best high school meets.

“Our organization is a STEM-based organization where we focus on getting undergrads involved in research before they get to the upper level in their higher education,” Tech SACNAS President Christopher Ponce said. “We have grad students and we have undergrad students.”

Students transferring to Tech from South Plains College get involved often, Ponce said.

The Bridges Program allows students to do research at South Plains and transfer it to Tech.

At a national conference that took place from

Oct. 29 to 31, the Tech SACNAS chapter took home the award for outstanding chapter of the year. Ponce attributes the winning of this award to the group’s 10-year anniversary, which it celebrated last year by bringing the president of the national office to Tech.

Once here, the members shared with him their achievements, such as membership, student involvement, lab research, fundraising and the group’s specific way of volunteering where they help to tutor high school students.

This award also earned

the group a trip to the White House and a meeting with a White House official.

“A few days before we left for the trip, we got an email from the White House to meet the Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, Dr. John Holdren,” Ponce said. “He met with some presidents of some SACNAS chapters across the United States, we were one of them since we won chapter of the year, and we discussed things like diversity and what the Obama administration is doing to further increase diversity in STEM.” Wi t h s u c h a l a r g e

achievement, the Tech SACNAS chapter is positioned to grow, he said.

As they now have the attention of the national office, they are extending to other universities and are planning to work with other universities to fine tune their operations.

“We’ve reached out to community colleges in New Mexico and other community colleges here around the Lubbock area,” Ponce said. “Just because they do not have a chapter does not mean that they shouldn’t get involved.”

As SACNAS continues to grow and spread, Ponce

said the organization owes much of its success to those who have stood by the group through its entire existence.

“Jaclyn Canas, she has helped us out a lot, her and Dr. Dimitri Pappas in the chemistry department. They are a huge influence in making our chapter better,” Ponce said. “They’ve been with us since the beginning 10 years ago and also Julie Isom, she was one of the original founders of the organization. They’re still here, they still help us out and without them it wouldn’t be possible.” @DailyToreador

if they would feel comfortable intervening, she said, and the survey revealed students felt more comfortable.

Simón said she feels the message about violence and unhealthy relationships is stronger when it comes from students’ peers.

“We’ve definitely seen that to be the most effective strategy in reaching our students,” she said.

A film screening was also

available for faculty and staff on campus, Simón said.

Another goal of One Love Week on campus, Simón said, was to build community expectations for students and faculty to intervene in domestic violence situations.

Students from several different organizations at Tech participated in the event, Simón said.

“Athletes, students from Greek life, students

from Mentor Tech, we had someone from SGA and someone from housing,” Simón said, “so it was really a collection of students from all across campus.”

Overall, she said the inaugural One Love Week at Tech was successful.

Chloe Barnes, director of student-athlete affairs, said this was the first time several student athletes were able to participate in an event like

One Love Week.

“The conversations were great. Everyone who attended was very engaged,” Barnes said.

“There was a lot of movement and understanding.”

The goal of One Love Week was to get the word out about unhealthy relationships, Barnes said, and overall she felt the students were able to do so effectively.

“The students that came were really engaged.”

Students filled out an evaluation form before and after the film screening and had a discussion with their peers about how familiar they were with violence and

Paris unites in defiant solidarity, then scatters in panic PARIS (AP) — Parisians banded together Sunday in spontaneous celebrations of life in defiance of the attacks — but then panic over firecrackers sent the crowds fleeing, hiding

under benches, overturning chairs and bicycles.

Emotions were raw as the French capital entered three days of mourning for 129 people killed for their way of life.

The famed bells of Notre Dame cathedral pealed for 15 minutes in honor of the victims. Police sirens punctuated the melody.

At cafes targeted by extremist gunmen, and at the

Republique Plaza in one of Paris’ most vibrant neighborhoods, hundreds of people streamed in gradually throughout the afternoon to a makeshift tribute.

A huge banner draped at the bottom of the statue on the plaza reads: “Can’t Scare Us.” Then suddenly a noise crackled, apparently firecrackers. Police officers arrived, guns pointed, to

investigate.

Everyone ran in every which direction, crying a n d e s c a p i n g b y a d j acent streets, emptying the huge plaza within minutes.

Shouts rang out — “Run!” ‘’Get out!” ‘’Lie down!”

People tripped over flowers, candles and souvenirs left in tribute. They took refuge in a nearby hotel, a sports store, under

café tables, park benches, behind trees.

“Whoever starts running starts everyone else running,” Alice Carton, a municipal worker who came to Republique with two friends, said in a series of messages tapped out over her smartphone.

“It’s a very weird atmosphere. (The) sirens and screaming are a source of fear.”

France bombs Islamic State HQ, hunts attacker who got away PARIS (AP) — France launched “massive” air strikes on the Islamic State group’s de-facto capital in Syria Sunday night, destroying a jihadi training camp and a munitions dump in the

city of Raqqa, where Iraqi intelligence officials say the attacks on Paris were planned.

Twelve aircraft including 10 fighter jets dropped a total of 20 bombs in the biggest air strikes since France ex-

tended its bombing campaign against the extremist group to Syria in September, a Defense Ministry statement said. The jets launched from sites in Jordan and the Persian Gulf, in coordination

with U.S. forces.

Meanwhile, as police announced seven arrests and hunted for more members of the sleeper cell that carried out the Paris attacks that killed 129 people, French officials revealed to The Associated Press that several key suspects had been stopped and released by police after the attack.

The arrest warrant for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-yearold born in Brussels, calls him very dangerous and warns people not to intervene if they see him.

Yet police already had him in their grasp early Saturday, when they stopped a car carrying three men near the Belg i a n b o r d e r. B y t h e n , hours had passed since authorities identified Abdeslam as the renter of a Volkswagen Polo that carried hostage takers to the Paris theater where so many died.

Three French police officials and a top French security official confirmed that officers let Abdeslam go after checking his ID. They spoke on condition of anonymity, lacking authorization to publicly disclose such details.

Tantalizing clues about the extent of the plot have emerged from Baghdad, where senior Iraqi officials told the AP that France and other countries had been warned on Thursday of an imminent attack.

Should higher education be considered a right?

Free higher education would Higher education right for US further burden US economy citizens, should be prioritized

W

ith higher education becoming a strong topic in the presidential debates, many students will be curious about if higher education is a right. If it is a right, why did our founders not include it in our country’s founding documents?

Many questions come up when talking about a free college education. One of the most prevalent questions currently asked is, “Is free college education a right?”

This question needs to be examined carefully to understand the implications of college education (especially when free) being a right, and not a just privilege.

First, the ethos of the action and the logos of potential consequences need to be examined. If college education is a right, then those who can fulfill that right must fulfill it. If this right is enforced by a government entity, as is the case with most rights g u a r a n t e e d u n d e r l a w, then the government can and should compel the fulfillment of this right — by force if necessary.

While to some, this still seems like a valid and good idea, the implementation can end up being problematic. When this topic arises, one question in particular is often brought up: Where does one person’s rights end and another person’s rights begin?

A university employs many people: educators, administrators, service employees and others. Often, students themselves fulfill many of these roles. They receive payment for the services they help provide, which go toward necessities such as food and drink, shelter, clothing, utilities and tuition.

By saying college education is a right, a person is saying all of these people are required and may be compelled by force to fulfill that right. If the university runs out of money, similar to the government shutdowns I weathered during my time in the military, the staff of the college is required to continue showing up to do its duty regardless of, and in spite of, lack of pay.

While many might call this farfetched, is it really?

People already use the government to compel other entities to fulfill their rights.

Are not the universities in question government-funded public entities?

If a county clerk may be forced to discharge his or her

lawful duty in regards to an individual’s legislated and litigated rights, the same should go for a university employee. If a teacher is by any stretch a government employee and an individual has a right to a college education, this right must be enforced like any other right.

Does a professor, instructor, food service employee or any other individual involved in the day-to-day operations of a university lose rights so that another person’s legislated and litigated rights may be fulfilled? These are the questions that should really be asked in this discussion.

The subject of whether a free college education is a right is a whole separate argument. What is involved in a free college education? Without an individual paying into a college, it is the government (at some level) that would have to pick up the tab for all public universities.

Many argue in favor of free higher education, yet what happens when a government shutdown doesn’t just cut off military members’ pay, but all university employees’ pay? The employees would still have to fulfill their duties in regards to the rights of the students.

If the government, which produces no good or commodity of its own, is paying for the running of every public university, then it will either have to increase its debt or put the new financial burden on taxpayers.

According to usdebtclock. org, the total U.S. debt including households, businesses, financial institutions and all levels of government is more than $65 trillion, or more than $200,000 per citizen at birth. The average personal debt per citizen is more than $50,000.

But what is telling, truly telling, is the ratio of the national debt ($ 18.6 trillion) to the gross domestic product (the value of all final goods and services produced in the U.S. in a year).

The total debt is more than three times that of the GDP. The current total federal tax revenue (income, payroll, corporate, duties and excise taxes) is only about $3.27 trillion.

The U.S. has spent money on billion-dollar blimps (which seems like some pretty old technology to be wasting a billion dollars on) which crashed after being neglected, according to an Oct. 28 Washington Post article, yet we can’t provide recycled information to the public.

Our military builds schools, hospitals and communities in other countries that become abandoned when troops are withdrawn.

Money, time and work that could be used and invested into the future of our country is instead used to fund overseas projects that often benefit the U.S. in no way.

Not only does the U.S. waste a great amount of money in its military, but the money spent in higher education is wasteful as well. Each year, the U.S. purchases new calculus, physics and world history before 1776 books when the facts and information buried in these books remain mostly the same. There are many subjects where the content is changing, but many updated textbooks just have the same material with different questions.

Higher education is unjustifiably expensive, preventing many from getting their college degree. Despite these rising prices, university administration has done little to improve the prices.

The comparison between

college education and high school is not too far off and could work in a similar manner. The U.S. is able to teach all of our children high school level material without cost to students, yet refuses to do so for college.

It is time to push following generations to continue on to achieving remarkable things.

By taking already gathered information and distributing it in a more economical and cost effective manner, we can raise the standard of our society. America is what it is today because of its ability to grant rights and privileges to our citizens.

The U.S. public school systems are one of the most crucial elements of America’s great economy and one of the most important reasons our society is so esteemed.

Treating education like a right and supplying it to the citizens can only raise the standard of our society, increasing the intelligence forming within it.

As a society, we have made many remarkable advancements to get away from our barbaric ways.

Establishing rights to an individual can be seen as humanity’s greatest achievement and a reason for the species’ incredible survival rates in comparison to other mammal counterparts.

Establishing education as a right to individuals, if reasonably obtainable, will do nothing more than raise the expectations of society. It is obvious the system in play is not working. America has fallen statistically in education in comparison to the rest of the world and its citizens are coming out of college overwhelmed in debt.

We are not here to reinvent the wheel; we are just here to find logical ways to get information we have already formulated and gathered into the minds of the American people. gmcalister@dailytoreador.com

Syrian refugee policy takes focus in US 2016 political discussion

Clinton goes after Sanders on taxes AMES, Iowa (AP) — Fresh from the second Democratic presidential debate, Hillary Rodham Clinton suggested Sunday that Bernie Sanders would raise middle-class taxes and “scrap” President Barack Obama’s health care law, in an escalating critique of the Vermont senator.

Joined by her husband, former President Bill Clinton, at a fall barbecue, the front-runner said middleclass families “need a raise, not a tax increase” and she was the lone Democrat in the debate to commit to raising wages “and not your taxes.”

Without mentioning her main rival by name, Clinton said Democrats should work to build on Obama’s

the U.S. should admit Syrian Christians, after proper vetting. Other Republican candidates have called for a ban on allowing Syrians into the U.S. All three Democratic presidential candidates have said they would admit Syrians but only after thorough background checks.

But Friday night’s mass killings in Paris, which left at least 129 people dead, offered evidence that may have backed up what many, including Rubio, had been warning: People with secret ties to Islamic militants could flow across borders as part of waves of refugees.

Authorities said a Syrian passport found near one of the Paris attackers that had been registered last month and traveled through three countries along a busy migrant corridor known for lax controls.

It was not clear whether the document was real or forged. Officials on Sunday were still trying to identify people involved in the conspiracy. They said as many as three of the seven suicide bombers who died in the attacks were French citizens.

“What we need to be able to do frankly is sort out that foreign fighter flow, those who have gone into Syria and come out and want to launch attacks or those people who have connections with ISIL in Syria,” Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes said on Fox News Sunday.

“At the same time, we have to recognize there’s tragic victims of this conflict, there are women, and children, orphans of this war and I think we need to do our part, along with our allies, to provide them a safe haven.”

The Paris attacks have elevated national security in the presidential contest. In Saturday night’s Democratic presidential debate, which began with a moment of silence for the Paris victims, all three candidates — former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton, Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley — said the U.S. should admit far more than the 10,000 Syrians to which Obama has committed, but only with proper screening.

Tech tops UNT in first round

By QUINTIN MARQUEZ Staff Writer

The Red Raiders took on the Mean Green of North Texas at the John Walker Soccer Complex on Friday night and won the match 1-0 with a first-half goal from their standout senior forward, Janine Beckie.

The game was the first round of the 2015 NCAA tournament for Division I teams.

Tech coach Tom Stone said although the Red Raiders have had first-round games each of the last four years, they had never had to do it on such short rest.

“Our players gave us everything they had to win that championship,” Stone said, “so given that there was some nervous energy coming into this game and we got 14 freshmen that have never played in a NCAA tournament.”

Stone said the key to keeping his freshman players composed for the game was to show them it was just like every other competition they

“We say this every year,

the NCAA tournament is just another game, but you’re

just all dressed up,” he said.

“Instead of a dance it’s a prom,

it’s just a fancier version of what we do every week.”

North Texas and Tech both came into the game after winning their own respective conferences, with North Texas winning in Conference USA and Tech in the Big 12.

Beckie said her last game at home was how most players want to finish their college careers.

“It’s a team effort when we score a goal,” Beckie said.

“I’m always happy when I get to score, but I’m just happy we won.”

Beckie’s goal came from an assist from fellow senior Caity Heap early in the game.

“I think Caity and I have finally found our rhythm,” Beckie said. “I think the past couple of games that I have scored it’s been her that fed me the ball.”

Stone made a point to mention his starting goalkeeper, Lauren Watson, who has only allowed one goal in Tech’s six-game win streak.

With Friday’s win, Tech

will now move on to face Auburn in the next round of the tournament.

The Red Raiders faced the Tigers in the second round of the tournament last year as well, defeating them 2-1.

Our players gave us everything they had to win that championship.

TOM STONE TEXAS TECH COACH Stone said even though they didn’t face Auburn during the regular season, he has kept a distant watch on them after facing them last year. “(The NCAA) tends to send us to the southeast,” Stone said, “so we have followed them all season. If it’s them I feel like we’ve done our homework kind of throughout the season.” @QuintinmDT

Tech defensive backs impress in final home game

By BRANDON SOLIZ Staff Writer

T h e Te x a s Te c h R e d Raiders hosted the Kans a s S t a t e Wi l d c a t s o n Saturday in a win showcasing a defense that has improved since the beginning of the season.

Tech sophomore defensive back Nigel Bethel led the way with the secondary, breaking up three passes and bringing the team total to nine on the day, the most the team has had in the season.

“Nigel has continued to get better,” Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “I thought, you know, they had some big receivers there throwing it up and made some nice plays on the ball, but he did a good job, and the defense gave us plenty of opportuni ties, particularly in that second quarter.”

A l o n g w i t h B e t h e l ’s p l a y, t h e Te c h d e f e n s e allowed only two receiv-

DEANDRE

CONTINUED FROM PG. 1 “You know, anytime you got No. 62 (Le’Raven Clark) one-on-one with a linebacker, that’s what you pray for, so he cleaned them up,” Washington said. “It was just off to the races then.”

Washington topped off the game by refusing to be denied on a 12-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to secure the win for Tech.

Haven’t beat Kansas State in a while, so it was a good overall day.

DEANDRE WASHINGTON SENIOR RUNNING BACK With the career day, Washington now has 1,293 rushing yards this season, which is a career best. According to the release, 1,293 is the eighth most for single season in school history.

The senior running back has 14 total touchdowns this season, which is the most in his career.

“We haven’t won a Se-

ing touchdowns in the 59-45 win.

Kansas State was led in receiving by wide receiver Kyle Klein, who had 131 of the Wildcats’ 289 receiving yards.

The Tech secondary is fairly young, as J.J. Gaines is the only senior in the Tech backfield.

D’Vonta made like two really big stops, and I told him, you do your job, and no one can stop you except for yourself.

MICAH AWE SENIOR LINEBACKER Senior linebacker Micah Awe said the freshmen have been learning to make plays as they come to them, and that idea was personified by linebacker D’Vonta Hinton.

“I mean, they’re making plays now, and they’re

letes to us,” he said. “ So it’s going to huge in recruiting.”

As for updates on Jones AT&T Stadium, the old ticket office will be repurposed into a game day club with 45 outdoor suites for next season.

The Double T scoreboard at the football stadium will remain where it is for at least the next few years, nior Day around here in a while,” Washington said.

“Haven’t beat Kansas State in a while, so it was a good overall day.”

Sophomore running back Justin Stockton, Washington’s backup and the likely starter for next season, also had a productive game as he had three touchdowns on only seven touches.

Washington said because of the talent at his position, Tech is going to have productive running backs for years to come.

“From here on out, these guys can have a 1,000-yard rusher for a long time,” he said. “Especially in this offense, especially with the skills we got in the running back room, so it’s scary to know it’s just the beginning.”

After becoming bowl eligible with Saturday’s win, Washington will have two more chances to add to his career-best season and move up the Red Raider all-time rushing list.

“He’s truly blessed. It’s amazing watching him run,” Stockton said. “He’s running really hard, really great. I wish him the best of luck in his future.” @JeremyK_DT

going to continue to make plays because they are going to continue listening to Coach Gibbs,” Awe said.

“D’Vonta made like two really big stops, and I told him, you do your job, and no one can stop you except for yourself.”

Redshirt freshman free safety Jah’Shawn Johnson also made an impact defensively.

Johnson picked up his fourth fumble recovery, which ties for first in the NCAA rankings for fumble recoveries.

The Texas Tech defense is still one of the top three worst defenses in the nation, despite the outing it had against the Wildcats.

However, the defensive stats have shown the unit’s improvement since the start of the season.

The Tech defense allows an average of 260 yards on the ground against its opponents, but against Kansas State, it allowed 141 yards on the ground.

Kansas State did pass

the ball for 289 yards, which is close to what the Tech defense allows on average per game.

The Wildcats had moments when they were in striking distance of tying

the game, but the Tech defense forced a turnover late to make Tech bowl eligible on the season.

Johnson closed out the game for the Red Raiders with a final interception to

seal the victory for Tech.

Tech travels to Austin for its final game of the season against the Texas Longhorns at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 26, Thanksgiving Day.

Hocutt said.

“Not in the foreseeable future. The Double T scoreboard will be part of the south end zone project that we have not developed or designed yet,” he said. “So no changes to the scoreboard for

the foreseeable future.”

Construction will also begin at Rip Griffin Park in the coming weeks. Before the baseball season opener, the field will have new turf, and the old scoreboard from Jones AT&T Stadium will installed.

The scoreboard will become one of the largest in college

baseball, Hocutt said.

Tech edges High Point in opener

By DIEGO GAYTAN Staff Writer

The Texas Tech men’s basketball team opened the 20152016 season with 77-73 win against coach Tubby Smith’s alma mater, High Point, at home Friday night in the United Supermarkets Arena.

Sophomore center Norense Odiase opened Tech’s season with a layup on Tech’s first possession, but the Panthers followed with a 9-0 run extending nearly seven minutes for a 9-2 lead.

A lob from senior guard Devaugntah Williams to sophomore forward Zach Smith finally broke the High Point run, and junior guard Devon Thomas gave the Red Raiders an 18-17 lead with a shot from the paint with less than six minutes left in the first half.

Williams connected again with Smith to give Tech a 27-25 lead with less than three minutes remaining, and Williams scored the final Red Raiders shot of the first half by shaking off a High Point defender and nailing a jumper from behind the arc.

Throughout the game, Smith said, High Point took advantage of open perimeter shots.

“They were just driving by us.

They were going by not just our big body guys, they were going by everybody,” he said. “That’s been a real Achilles’ heel that we didn’t go out and chase them off the three-point line.”

Tech closed out the first half with 12 for 23 field goal shooting, 10 turnovers and six combined assists.

Through the majority of the second half, the Red Raiders missed the post up help of Zach Smith and Odiase because of

Redshirt senior forward John Brown, High Point’s leading scorer from last season, opened the second half with four points on two layups to give the Panthers a 35-34 lead in the opening two minutes.

Brown, however, went out of the game for most of the second half after picking up his third foul of the game.

High Point coach Scott Cherry said the absence of Brown for the majority of the second half limited the team’s scoring opportunities down the stretch.

“He’s a key part of our team, so having him sit on the bench is huge,” Cherry said. “He’s tough to guard and even if he doesn’t have the ball in his hands, people are really paying attention to him, which opens up everything else for the rest of the guys on

the team.”

Sophomore guard Justin Gray came into the second half and hiked his scoring numbers off the bench with a pair of jumpers and a three pointer in just four minutes of play to give Tech a 43-41 lead with 15 left in the game.

At the eight-minute mark, Williams increased the Panther deficit by nailing a buzzer beating jumper and a follow-up 3-pointer to put Tech up 61-51.

Despite the 10-point lead, Williams said Tech needed to keep grinding it out, as the Panthers did not leave room for error.

“Really it’s not a comfortable lead,” Williams said. “I just kept telling them the game’s not over so we got to keep fighting.”

The Panthers chipped away at the Tech lead and made it a one-shot game at 63-61, as

junior guard Anthony Lindauer buried a 3-pointer with less than five minutes left to build a 10-2 Panther run.

Brown placed pressure on the Red Raiders by knotting the game at 65 each with a pair of free throws with less than four minutes left and Lindauer drained a go-ahead 3-pointer to add to Tech’s worries.

Soon after the Panthers gained a 68-65 lead, Williams kept his shooting hand hot by tying the game with another 3-pointer and rattling the rim with a breakaway dunk.

With the game coming into its final seconds, Tech forced a High Point turnover and made the Panthers commit fouls by picking up an offensive rebound after holding the ball for the full 30-second shot clock.

Lindauer cut Tech’s 73-69

Williams finished the game as the Red Raiders’ offensive leader with a near double double.

He scored 26 points and also grabbed eight rebounds.

Tech’s use of the small ball, Gray said, worked great in the

second half.

“We were trying to cause mismatches with the other team,” he said. “I think it keeps teams guessing. I think that works. As long as whatever coach Smith says to go, I’m going to go.”

FOOTBALL

Five takeaways from the Red Raiders’ 59-44 win against Kansas State

T

exas Tech finally got its sixth win of the season on Saturday and it was an important one for the Red Raiders, for a whole multitude of reasons.

1. A bowl game is important for this team By beating Kansas State for the first time since 2009, Tech has now won six games this season and is bowl eligible.

It was obvious that becoming bowl eligible was important to the team when an emotional celebration broke out on the field when time expired. Multiple players, including senior linebacker

Jeremy Krakosky is a senior dual marketing and management major from Red Oak.

Micah Awe, ran into the stands to celebrate with students.

A bowl game is also valuable to the team because it allows them to practice for a few extra weeks. Extra practices should be beneficial for young players that will be filling the role of senior players next season.

2. Tech defense took away what Kansas State does best

The most effective part of the Kansas State offense is quarterback runs. Junior quarterback Joe Hubener came into the game as the team’s leading rusher. He tried to run the ball often early in the game but did not find much daylight.

Hubener ran the ball 14 times for nine yards, a 0.6 average. The Red Raider defense forced the Wildcats to try to beat them through the air, as they threw it 41 times. Being a pass heavy offense is not what the Wildcats are comfortable with, as Hubener completed less than half of his passes.

3. Fast start was key for

Red Raiders The Red Raiders used quick strikes and defensive stands to build a 28-7 lead in the first quarter. The defense did not allow any points in the first quarter, as the Wildcats lone score was on a kickoff return.

Tech was outscored in the second and fourth quarters, and at one point let Kansas State within eight points after a recovered onside kick.

If the Red Raiders had not jumped out to such a large lead in the beginning of the game, the fourth quarter could have been a different story.

4. Mahomes’ decision

making was great Sophomore quarterback Patrick Mahomes II threw the ball 42 times and carried it 11 times and did not turn the ball over. He is leading the Big 12 Conference in interceptions this season, but did not have a pass that was even close to being picked off on Saturday.

Mahomes and the offense were excellent in the red zone as they scored seven out of seven times in the red zone, every trip ending in a touchdown.

The sophomore quarterback also made smart decisions running the ball. He juked a defender on his way to his

rushing touchdown.

5. Washington will be missed next season Washington saved his best for his last home game of his career. He carried the ball 27 times for a career-high 248 yards and three touchdowns. Despite carrying the ball so many times, he never had a negative run in the game. Washington also added 36 yards receiving.

The senior running back has been the most consistent player on the Red Raider roster throughout the season and will be missed next year. @JeremyK_DT

RHIM students compete in Restaurant Wars

By RYAN ORTEGON Staff Writer

Restaurant, hotel and institutional management students competed to determine the best pop-up restaurant in the first restaurant wars.

A pop-up restaurant is a restaurant that can appear at any location, such as a cellar or brewery, in which a group of chefs and managers set up a small restaurant in a nontraditional location.

Several groups of RHIM students competed in the restaurant war, in which students had to create a restaurant theme, menu and atmosphere.

The competition was split into two groups, a group of underclassmen competitors who had their restaurants at the Skyviews Restaurant and a group of seniors from the dinner series at McPherson Cellars.

People who attended the event judged several aspects of the dinners. Every person was given a scorecard for both restaurants, and at the end of their meals, they scored the restaurants on the meals, service, hospitality, taste

I just want to focus on my team and doing what we have to do.”

The Military and Veterans Program presented three scholarships to Tech students during the game down on the football field.

The Goin’ Band also honored veterans with a U.S. themed halftime show, and the band opened with a tribute to the different branches of the U.S. military.

There was a moment of silence during the show followed by the playing of “Taps” to honor those who lost their lives in military service. There were a few band members in the show in their military uniforms.

Aidan John, a senior sociology major from League City and a member of the Army ROTC program, said veterans responded well to the events Tech hosted throughout the week in honor of Veterans Day. “Between the Military and Veterans Program and ROTC, the campus has a great way of facilitating the events we have and supporting us,” he said.
