For Willis, it was the 18th 20-point performance of his collegiate career (fifth as a Bulldog). Williams notched double-digit points for the 21st time in his last 27 games. • Forward Isaiah Crawford got the start, seeing his first action since suffering a season-ending knee injury on Nov. 15, 2021. He tacked on five rebounds, three assists, and two steals to go along with his 12 points. He is one of two known current players in college basketball who have suffered multiple season-ending knee injuries. • True freshman Jordan Crawford made a splash in his Bulldog debut. The hometown kid came off the bench to register 15 points, the most by a freshman in a season opener at LA Tech since 1999. He also added three assists and three steals to his stat sheet. • Monday will be the first of 15 true road games for the Bulldogs, the most since the 2014-15 season and the most of any Conference USA team this season. • LA Tech returns 10 letterwinners off last season’s 24-win team, including starting guards Keaston Willis and Cobe Williams, who were two of the top four scorers with an average of 12.1 and 11.3 points per game, respectively.

• Would be LA Tech’s first win over a Big 12 opponent since they defeated Oklahoma, 102-98 in overtime, in Norman, Okla. on Dec. 30, 2013. • Would be the 12th win all-time for the Bulldogs over a current Big 12 member. LA Tech has six wins over TCU, two wins over Texas Tech and Baylor, and one win over Oklahoma.
