In a stunning upset, the Texas Tech Red Raiders dominated the sixth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks in a lopsided victory on Monday night. Led by the outstanding performance of Darrion Williams, Texas Tech never trailed throughout the game, securing a resounding 79-50 win. Williams had a perfect night, scoring a career-high 30 points on a flawless 12-for-12 shooting, including four three-pointers. He also grabbed 11 rebounds, proving to be a formidable force on both ends of the court.

Williams' exceptional shooting display set a record for Texas Tech, as no player in their history has ever made 12 field goals without a miss. The sophomore transfer from Nevada also made history in the NCAA as the first player in the last 25 seasons to score 30 points, grab 10 rebounds, and achieve a perfect shooting percentage against a ranked opponent, according to ESPN Stats.
