Christian Anderson's Record-Breaking Night vs BYU

0:00On March 5, Texas Tech heads into their regular season finale against BYU on Saturday, where sophomore guard Christian Anderson could break the program's single-season assist record. He needs just three assists to do it, and with the postseason still ahead, the pressure is on during this key match-up. The Red Raiders are bouncing back from their first loss, without all American Big Man JT Toppen, a 75-63 defeat to TCU earlier. That game exposed some rebounding issues, but it gave the coaching staff a chance to tweak things ahead of March Madness. Anderson has stepped up big time in Toppen's absence, earning his third Big 12 player of the week honor and fifth starting five-not this season. Last week, he averaged 22.5 points, seven assists, and seven rebounds while leading tech to two wins, including nine assists against TCU. Coach McCaslin is stressing scrappy play on the glass, especially from the guards like Anderson, to keep the team competitive without their star.

1:00Forward. Anderson's already racked up impressive career numbers, with 9-25 points and 301 assists in 64 games. As tech eyes a strong postseason run, Anderson's leadership and potential record breaking night against BYU could spark the momentum they need to go. Deep.
