Fresh off a 78–75 overtime road win against then-No. 1 Arizona over the weekend, No. 13 Texas Tech was upset 72–67 on the road by Arizona State on Tuesday night in Tempe, Ariz.
The upset loss for the Red Raiders, which marked the Sun Devils’ first victory over a ranked opponent since January 2025, was one thing. But the bigger story coming out of the contest was the well-being of Red Raiders star JT Toppin, who fell awkwardly while driving to the basket with just over six minutes to play in the game. He limped to the locker room with assistance from the Red Raiders’ medical staff and did not return to the contest after scoring 20 points and adding eight rebounds.
