Texas Tech-St. Francis: Red Raiders Roll Red Flash

The lights dimmed and a video highlighting Texas Tech’s 2007-2008 season played with rap artist Limp Bizkit’s song “Keep Rollin,” before the Red Raiders’ starting lineup was introduced. The Red Raiders did exactly that, as they rolled to an 81-47 season-opening win over the St. Francis Red Flash. Nick Okorie, who made his debut at Tech, scored 16 points, making four of six three-pointers, one rebound and two assists. Okorie played at South Plains Junior college last season. John Roberson scored 13 points and Trevor Cook scored 10. Alan Voskuil who averaged 13 points per game last season was held to eight, shooting three for seven on field goals. Roberson, Michael Prince and Mike Singletary led the team in rebounding, with five each. Roberson led the team in assists with three and had three steals. The Red Raiders forced 23 turnovers against St. Francis. Devin Sweetney and Marquis Ford led the Red Flash in scoring with 11. Mislav Jukic contributed 10 points. ... (link)
