But, I look forward to adversity.The Red Raiders have started 3-0 for the first time since 2012-13 and have won 22 consecutive home nonconference games.Asante Gist led Eastern Kentucky with 21 points and three assists. Jayle Babb-Harrison had 14 points and Nick Mayo and Zach Charles scored 13 points apiece.Early in the first half, the Colonels (1-3) maintained leads of 19-9 and 27-12 before being held scoreless for a 4:56 stretch.I was proud of the way we got out of the gates quickly, especially after a long day of travel, Eastern Kentucky coach Dan McHale said. We let (Texas Tech) start carving us up defensively. And they got easy looks. And then the floodgates opened a little bit. We were still in control for most of the first half.During that cold spell, Texas Tech (3-0) tied the game and finished the first half with a 46-41 lead.With the game tied 57-57 early in the second half, Texas Tech took a 10-point lead when Eastern Kentucky had a scoring drought that lasted roughly five minutes.Eastern Kentucky, which made 12 3-pointers, shot 36.8 percent from the floor.After 24 points off turnovers in its last game against North Texas, the Red Raiders scored 19 points off turnovers.Relentless pursuit, Gray said.

And just making smart choices on offense.BIG PICTUREEastern Kentucky: Two of Eastern Kentuckys standout underclassmen have continued to perform well.
