Chance McMillian has quick trio of 3s for No. 13 Texas Tech in 73-59 win over Baylor
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Chance McMillian made three consecutive 3-pointers midway through the second half and finished with 19 points to lead No. 13 Texas Tech to a 73-59 win over Baylor on Tuesday night.
Those three long-range shots by McMillian in a span of 69 seconds restored a 10-point lead for the Red Raiders (18-4, 9-2 Big 12), who have won seven games in a row and nine of 10. Darrion Williams added 17 points while Elijah Hawkins had 13. Tech finished with 11 made 3s.
Norchad Omier had his 79th career double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds for Baylor (14-8, 6-5). He is the NCAA active career leader for double-doubles and moved into 10th place on the all-time list.
Robert Wright had 15 points for the Bears. Jeremy Roach had 12 points on 3-of-11 shooting in his return after missing four games in concussion protocol, and Josh Ojianwuna had 10 points.
Takeaways
Baylor played without top freshman VJ Edgecombe (lower body injury), who got hurt Saturday when the Bears overcame a 21-point deficit to beat then-No. 11 Kansas. They trailed by 10 at halftime against Texas Tech, but got within 37-34 on a three-point play by Omier. That capped a 10-0 run in less than 2 minutes before they missed their next eight shots.
Texas Tech impressively followed up an 82-81 overtime win at then-No. 6 Houston by leading the final 32 minutes in their only regular-season meeting this year against the Bears.
Key moment
The quick trio of 3s by McMillian, which started with his second-chance 3-pointer on a pass from Hawkins with 10:45 left.
Key stat
McMillian is the Big 12’s top 3-point shooter. He went 5 of 11 against the Bears, and is shooting 45.4% (55 of 121) from long range this season.
Up next
Baylor is home against UCF on Saturday, when Texas Tech plays at No. 20 Arizona.

While Texas Roadhouse is known for its signature steaks and rolls, the restaurant has changed its menu over the years.
Texas Roadhouse first opened in 1993 and has become known for favorites like its warm, freshly baked rolls served with honey cinnamon butter and its hand-cut steaks. While many signature items remain, some fan-favorite menu offerings have since been discontinued.
Recently, Tasting Table, which features recipes and news for food enthusiasts, looked back at some discontinued Texas Roadhouse menu items that some may remember fondly.
Here are some of the discontinued menu items at Texas Roadhouse.
Floor peanuts
While some Texas Roadhouse locations may still provide peanuts by request, the practice of throwing the shells on the floor ended with the pandemic, according to Tasting Table.
Users on Yelp also discussed whether peanut shells could be tossed on the floor.
“They still offer peanuts is sealed bags upon request. Just ask for peanuts and they’ll keep on bringing them,” one user said.
Baked beans
While the restaurant offers several side options, such as green beans, mashed potatoes, and seasoned corn, Texas Roadhouse no longer carries baked beans — which are common at steakhouses.
“Always enjoyed Texas Roadhouse but Broke my heart when they took those delicious baked beans off the menu,” a reddit user posted back in 2023, while searching for a recipe.
Original Chicken Critters
While there are Chicken Critters — chicken tenders that are golden-fried and lightly crispy — on the menu today, fans say the original recipe has changed.
Apparently, the tenders were crispier and lighter, according to Reddit users.
“My husband and I talk about the OG chicken critters all the time,” one Reddit user posted.
Sierra Chicken Pasta
The only pasta dish served at Texas Roadhouse has gone viral on TikTok, with many recreating it with their own recipes.
The Sierra Chicken Pasta was made with penne pasta, pieces of crispy bacon, and grilled chicken, all of which were tossed in an Asiago cheese sauce, according to The Takeout.
It doesn’t appear that Texas Roadhouse offers any type of pasta, according to its menu.
Oven-roasted half chicken
The discontinued item came in two styles — plain or barbecue — according to Tasting Table.
The restaurant still offers several chicken options, though, like smothered chicken (served with wide, made-from-scratch gravy) and grilled BBQ chicken.

The overseas death of a U.S. Army soldier from Central Texas is under investigation, the Department of Defense announced Wednesday.
Sgt. Devin A. Seibel, 26, of the Waco suburb of Robinson, died Sunday in a “training‑related incident” at Erbil Airbase in Iraq, officials said.
According to the department, Seibel was an active‑duty soldier supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, the U.S.-led coalition campaign launched in June 2014 to defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria.
Seibel was assigned to the Air Ambulance Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, in Fort Carson, Colo.
The department didn’t release any additional information.
CBS News Texas will provide updates as more information becomes available.
