LUBBOCK, TX (Sports Network) - Martin Zeno scored 22 points and hit three free throws over the final 24.9 seconds, as Texas Tech upset No. 6 Texas A&M, 70-68, giving the Red Raiders their second victory over a top 10 team in less than a week. On Saturday, Texas Tech got past the fifth-ranked Kansas Jayhawks, 69-64. Jon Plefka added 17 points and Jarrius Jackson scored 13 for the Red Raiders (15-5, 4-1 Big 12), who won for the fifth time in six contests. Zeno went 13-of-14 at the charity stripe. Acie Law had 26 points for the Aggies (16-3, 4-1), who had an 11-game conference winning streak broken. Dominique Kirk tallied 12 points and Joseph Jones 11 in a losing cause, as Texas Tech`s nine-game winning streak came to an end. Zeno hit one free throw with 24.9 seconds left for a 68-67 Texas Tech lead. He missed the second try, but then stole an inbounds pass intended for Jones in the lane. Zeno made two more foul shots with eight seconds remaining before Law was fouled just past midcourt with 3.4 ticks left. Law made the first and intentionally missed the second and got his own rebound. However, the ball never hit the rim on the second try, and Texas Tech assumed possession. A long pass to Zeno then ended the game, as he dribbled out the remaining time, with the fans storming the court.
