Martin Zeno sank a free throw with 24.9 seconds remaining to lift Texas Tech over No. 6 Texas A&M 70-68 on Wednesday night at home, giving the Red Raiders their second straight win over a Top 10 team.
Tech beat then-No. 5 Kansas 69-64 Saturday.
As they did Saturday, many of the 5,898 students — many who began camping out for tickets Tuesday afternoon — swarmed the floor after the win.
The Aggies had a chance with 9.3 seconds remaining, but Zeno stole the inbounds pass from Dominique Kirk to Joseph Jones and was fouled. He sank both free throws to seal the win. He finished 13-of-14 from the line.
The loss snapped the Aggies 11-game Big 12 win streak, the longest in school history.
Tech (15-5, 4-1 Big 12) hit only one field goal in the final 10:11 of the game, but hit on 13-of-18 free throws. Darryl Dora hit a 3-pointer with 1:03 remaining to put Tech up 67-66, but Joseph Jones hit a free throw to tie it at 67.
Zeno scored 22 points and John Plefka added 17 to lead Tech.
Acie Law scored 26 points and Kirk had 12 to lead the Aggies (16-3, 4-1).
No. 1 FLORIDA 70, MISSISSIPPI ST. 67: At Starkville, Miss., Corey Brewer scored 20 points, including five during a game-turning 10-1 run early in the second half, and Florida survived a scary Southeastern Conference road game by beating Mississippi State.
No. 2 WISCONSIN 71, MICHIGAN 58: At Madison, Wis., Brian Butch and Alando Tucker scored 16 points each and No. 2 Wisconsin beat Michigan to extend the nation's longest winning streak to 16 games, breaking a 56-year school record.
No. 4 NORTH CAROLINA 88, WAKE FOREST 60: At Winston-Salem, N.C., Wayne Ellington scored 18 points, fellow freshman Ty Lawson added all 15 of his in the second half and No. 4 North Carolina routed Wake Forest 88-60 Wednesday night. Tyler Hansbrough added 13 points for the Tar Heels (18-2, 5-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), who outscored the Demon Deacons 46-23 in the second half en route to their third straight win and 15th in 16 games.
No. 5 OHIO STATE 59, NORTHWESTERN 50: At Evanston, Ill., freshman Greg Oden had 17 points and a season-high 17 rebounds, and Ohio State hung on to beat Northwestern for its fourth straight win. Oden scored 10 points over the final 10:19 after Northwestern's Tim Doyle hit back-to-back baskets to pull the Wildcats within 39-38.
No. 8 KANSAS 82, BAYLOR 56: At Waco, Texas, Brandon Rush scored 18 points and Kansas held Baylor to three points in the first 11 minutes to cruise to victory. Julian Wright added 16 points for the Jayhawks (17-3, 4-1 Big 12). Baylor coach Scott Drew was courtside a little more than 24 hours after having an appendectomy on Tuesday.
No. 9 PITTSBURGH 67, CINCINNATI 51: At Cincinnati, Levance Fields made a career-high six 3-pointers, leading a long-range spree that carried Pittsburgh past Cincinnati. The Panthers (18-3, 6-1) held onto their spot atop the Big East by featuring their dangerous inside-out attack. Pitt went 12-of-19 from 3-point range against a smaller team determined to not get beaten inside by 7-foot center Aaron Gray. John Williamson scored 15 points to lead Cincinnati (10-9, 1-4).
No. 11 MEMPHIS 72, TULSA 59: At Memphis, Tenn., Joey Dorsey scored 13 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and blocked three shots to lead No. 11 Memphis to a 72-59 victory over Tulsa on Wednesday night. Dorsey dominated the inside in the first half and the Tigers (16-3, 6-0 Conference USA) built an early lead en route to their eighth straight victory, keeping them undefeated at home.
No. 15 MARQUETTE 89, SETON HALL 76: At Milwaukee, sophomores Wesley Matthews and Jerel McNeal scored 22 points apiece and Marquette had little trouble with Seton Hall. McNeal made 9-of-15 shots, and had seven rebounds, four steals and a career-high 10 assists for Marquette (18-4, 5-2 Big East).
VANDERBILT 64, No. 21 LSU 53: At Baton Rouge, La., Derrick Byars scored 18 points and Shan Foster added a pair of baskets in the final minutes to give Vanderbilt its third straight victory over a ranked team. LSU was doomed by a poor start, and Vanderbilt (14-6, 4-2 Southeastern Conference), coming off victories over Alabama and Kentucky, remained consistent enough down the stretch to hold off a charge by the Tigers in the final 10 minutes.
NO. 17 ARIZONA 71, ARIZONA ST 47: At Tucson, Chase Budinger had 21 points and 10 rebounds, and the Wildcats snapped a three-game losing streak with a victory over the Sun Devils.
In a tune-up for Saturday's game against fourth-ranked North Carolina, Arizona (14-5, 5-4 Pac-10) beat its in-state rival for the 11th straight time.
