Lubbock, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Hoping to put the brakes on a six-game losing streak, the Texas Tech Red Raiders entertain the ninth-ranked Iowa State Cyclones in Big 12 Conference action at United Supermarkets Arena on Saturday afternoon. Iowa State enters the fray having won two in a row and four of its last five games overall to raise its season record to 14-3, and its league ledger to 4-1. The Cyclones have beaten both Big 12 teams from the state of Kansas in the last week, first topping the KU Jayhawks, 86-81, and then the KSU Wildcats, 77-71. This bout marks only the fourth true road game for Iowa State (2-1), with the lone setback coming the last time it was away from Ames, 74-73, at Baylor on Jan. 14. Despite a record that has the team a game over .500 at the moment, Texas Tech (10-9) has largely disappointed as it attempts once again to notch its first conference win of the season. A 63-43 loss at Oklahoma State on Wednesday night was the Red Raiders sixth straight setback, all in conference, and the squad has lost eight of its last nine games overall. Iowa State leads the all-time series with Texas Tech, 14-11, and the Cyclones have won the last three, and five of the last six meetings overall. The teams will square off in Ames on Feb. 7 to close out the regular-season series. Iowa State put five players in double figures, and each of those efforts was needed as the team slipped past Kansas State earlier in the week, winning by six points at home. Jameel McKay came off the bench to score 15 points to lead the Cyclones, while Georges Niang added 14 points, Monte Morris and Abdel Nadeer 11 apiece, and Naz Long 10 for an ISU squad that shot better in the first half (.500) than it did in the second (.393), but tallied 17 points at the free-throw line while committing only seven turnovers. The Cyclones grabbed twice as many offensive rebounds as did the Wildcats (12-6), earning a 24-6 edge in second-chance points as a result. All five starters are averaging double digits in the scoring column for Iowa State, which puts up 80.1 ppg in hitting 48.7 percent of its field goal attempts. The teams defensive stance yields 67.1 ppg, and it goads the opposition into nearly 14 turnovers per outing. Niang (14.8 ppg, 5.5 rpg) paces the unit in both scoring and rebounding, and the four other starters net between 10.2 and 12.8 ppg, and McKay produces 9.8 ppg as the potential sixth double-digit scorer. In addition to his own scoring exploits, Morris serves as the teams primary playmaker with 5.8 apg, the Cyclones being credited with 18.4 helpers per contest. For the second straight game and fourth time this season, Texas Tech was held below 50 points as it dropped a 20-point decision at Oklahoma State a few days back. Keenan Evans scored 18 points in 26 minutes of action off the bench, but he was the only TTU player to reach double figures as the team made good on only 27.8 percent of its field goal attempts, missing the mark on 12 of its 16 3-point tries along the way. Meanwhile, the Cowboys nailed nine treys, and outscored the Red Raiders both in points off turnovers (13-4) and fast break points (16-4). Save for a game here or there, and mostly against inferior competition, Texas Tech has failed to generate much in the way of consistent offensive production, the team averaging a lackluster 63.9 ppg behind typical shooting efforts of .408 overall, .302 from beyond the arc and .649 at the charity stripe. Devaugntah Williams is the Red Raiders lone double-digit scorer, but he is barely there as he nets 10.4 ppg. Fortunately, the Red Raiders have performed well at the defensive end for the most part, as they yield 61.5 ppg as foes are connecting on only 40.0 percent of their total shots, and 32.9 percent of their long-range launches.

Malik Hooker Jersey . Though the 26-year-old said he was able to participate, coach Dwane Casey kept Johnson out as a precaution.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Pittsburgh Penguins also have another P-word going for them: patience. Brandon Sutter, Lee Stempniak and Jussi Jokinen scored in a span of 2:13 of the third period to revive the Penguins from yet another two-goal deficit in a 4-3 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets on Monday night. Now up 2-1 in the best-of-seven series, the Penguins got off to a horrible start, but took charge in the final two periods. "Its not ideal, especially when its 2-1 and you fall behind (by two goals) again," said captain Sidney Crosby. "Typically, its not the way you win hockey games. But it showed a lot of character and a lot of patience." A two-goal lead has been poison so far in the series. Columbus also blew a 3-1 lead in Game 1, then the Penguins returned the favour Saturday night. In each case the opponent scored the final three goals, the Blue Jackets taking their first playoff victory in double-overtime just 48 hours earlier in Pittsburgh. All three games have ended 4-3. "Anytime a team gets a lead they find a way to give it up," Sutter said. Game 4 is Wednesday night here. Down 2-0 early and then 3-1 in the third, the veteran Penguins scored on three consecutive shots. Coach Dan Bylsma called a timeout after goals by Boone Jenner and Jack Johnson staked the Blue Jackets to a 2-0 lead 3:18 in before a raucous, overflow crowd of 19,148. The Penguins collected themselves and then collected another comeback win. "We needed to reset," Bylsma said. The surge began with less than 2 seconds left in the second period when Brooks Orpik rifled a hard wrister past Columbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky, making it 2-1. Just over a minute into the third period, the Blue Jackets pushed the lead back to two goals. Brandon Dubinsky, who had two assists, spun and fired a backhander that hit the glove of teammate Cam Atkinson and beat a surprised Marc-Andre Fleury. Fleury slammed the door after that. "I took it one shot at a time, tried to keep within the game," he said. "Just make the next save." His high-powered offence did the rest. The Penguins found their game, dominating with a 41-20 advantage in shots on goal and controlling the pace. Paul Martins shot from the point was redirected by Sutter.dddddddddddd Just 1:10 later, Stempniak took a short pass from Kris Letang and waded in from the right wing, beating Bobrovsky. "A lot of guys here have won and been on long runs," said Stempniak. "They kept their belief. I think everybody just fed off of that. We generated a lot of shots and had a lot of opportunities. It was good to just keep going with it." Then Jokinen redirected Olli Maattas shot from the point and it glanced in off Columbus defenceman James Wisniewski, thoroughly deflating a crowd waiting to celebrate an historic win. "We played well," Maatta said. "At the end, it was a couple of bounces." Columbus last best chance came with 30 seconds left when Fleury made a blocker save on Ryan Johansens hard shot. "Theyve got a good team over there," said Dubinsky, who had two assists for the Blue Jackets, matching Martin and Beau Bennett of the Penguins. "We just have to find a way to rebound and be resilient. We have been all year long, so Im confident in this group." R.J. Umberger, the Columbus forward from Pittsburgh, said it was important for the young Blue Jackets to stay the course. In other words, be patient just like the veteran Penguins. "Its a long series still," Umberger said. "We cant let that be the turning point." The Blue Jackets were trying for their first playoff victory at home. They were 0-5 in the post-season until pulling off a stunning 4-3 double-overtime victory Saturday night in Pittsburgh. Much like after blowing a two-goal lead in Game 1, theyll have to find a way to regroup. "I dont think it was about stepping off the gas," coach Todd Richards said. "The attitude was good. We made a couple of mistakes and they started skating. That was the difference."
