11/10/2007 8:33:00 PM | Men's Basketball
Lubbock, TX—The UC Riverside men's basketball team opened their 2007-08 season with a hard fought 68-56 loss to 2007 NCAA Tournament participant Texas Tech in Lubbock, TX Saturday afternoon. Sophomore Sean Cunningham led the Highlanders with 15 points and senior Larry Cunningham added 13.
The Highlanders (0-1) kept it close and proved throughout the game that they could play with TTU (1-0), trailing only 35-31 at the half. UCR even cut the Red Raider lead to 45-44 midway through the second half.
The story was the turnovers that proved to be costly for UCR as Texas Tech forced 27 Highlander turnovers and took advantage later in second half to put the game out of reach with a 17-3 run. TTU scored 28 points off of the 27 UCR turnovers.
Martin Zeno led the Red Raiders with 19 points and Alan Voskul added 12 points as the Highlanders lost their eighth straight season-opener.
Junior Aaron Scott finished with 11 points and nine rebounds for UCR.
The Highlanders will look to get new Head Coach Jim Wooldridge his first UCR victory on Monday when they continue their Texas trip, this time with a stop in Arlington, TX for a game against University of Texas- Arlington at 6:00 pm (PST).
