A few weeks ago, while preparing to be the sideline reporter on an Arizona State-Texas Tech game, I was asked by a producer whom I believed should be the Big 12 Player of the Year. I had to think for a second.

JT Toppin had 30 points and 14 rebounds as ninth-ranked Texas Tech led throughout in a 91-75 win over Colorado on Wednesday night, clinching a double-bye for the Red Raiders into the quarterfinal round in next week's Big 12 Tournament.

LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - The Texas Tech Red Raiders grabbed a win in their final home game of the season over the Colorado Buffaloes, 91-75. JT Toppin finished with his third 30-point double-double with 30 points and 14 rebounds to lead the Red Raiders in both categories.
