Louisiana Tech won its fifth consecutive game at WKU on Wednesday night.
The victory improved the Bulldogs to 21-8 overall and 11-3 in Conference USA play.
Every Sunday during the 2023-2024 season we are going to take a look at the conference standings, statistical leaders for the 'Dogs, key performances over the last week, and some team statistics to give a good idea of where things stand on a national scale.
Isaiah Crawford is clearly playing the best basketball of his career. In Tech's 3-game road sweep of UTEP, NMSU, and WKU, the Fort Worth native averaged 19.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1 steal, and 1.3 blocks per game.
Daniel Batcho returned from injury on the 3-game road trip to averaged 13 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 blocks per game.
Tahlik Chavez averaged 17.3 points per game on the trip. The Arlington native ranks 15th nationally shooting 42.2% from 3-point range.
Sean Newman was PHENOMENAL in wins over New Mexico State and WKU for Talvin Hester's squad. The sophomore averaged 14.5 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. Newman's emergence could prove to be massive for the 'Dogs down the stretch.
Tech has held 18 of 28 opponents to less than 40% shooting from the field this season. Great recipe for success.
The Bulldogs continue to rank 1st nationally in 2-point field goal percentage defense.
Tech is out-rebounding opponents by 6.2 rebounds per game.
