Bobby Knight's Texas Tech Red Raiders gave their coach a share of Dean Smith's record by ending Bucknell's three-game win streak.
The final score was 72-60 in a game that was close until the Bison went cold and Tech went on a 17-0 run. But all anybody will remember in the long run will be that Knight won his 879th game, tying him with the former North Carolina legend Smith as the all-time winningest coach in men's Division I hoops.
Early in the second half, the Bison were right with the Raiders, trailing by three with the ball. But Justin Castleberry missed two three-points that might have tied the game, setting the stage for Tech's decisive run.
Jarrius Jackson, Tech's leading scorer who had been held in check the first half, scored 10 of his 18 points during the spurt, which coincided with a Bucknell dry spell that lasted 7 minutes. The Bison missed 13 straight shots during that stretch.
Bucknell shot 50 percent in the first half (14 of 28), including 5 treys (on 9 tries) and still trailed by 6, 39-33, at the break thanks to Tech's torrid 61.2 percent (16 of 26) shooting. In the second half the Raiders cooled off, going 12 for 28 (42.9 percent) from the field. But Bucknell was a frigid 10 for 32 (31.3 percent), even colder from the arc, where they went 1 for 12.
The Bison actually outrebounded Tech, 36-30, and had only 13 turnovers. But Tech turned it over just once.
John Griffin led the Bison with 16 points. Donald Brown added 13 -- 12 in the first half -- and Chris McNaughton had 12.
