Texas Tech will be without its top all-around producer for the rest of the season.
Forward JT Toppin has a torn ACL in his right knee and has been ruled out for the remainder of the year. Toppin has been a centerpiece for the Red Raiders, leading the team in scoring, rebounds and blocks.
Impact on Texas Tech
Toppin’s absence removes the team’s leader across multiple statistical categories, leaving Texas Tech to adjust its frontcourt rotation and replace production on both ends of the floor. His scoring, work on the glass and rim protection have been central to the Red Raiders’ identity.
