PROVO, Utah (AP) — Robert Wright III scored 23 of his 27 points in the second half, rallying BYU to an 82-76 victory over No. 10 Texas Tech on Saturday night.
Wright made his first seven shots after halftime to help the Cougars (21-10, 9-9 Big 12) snap a three-game losing streak and beat a top-10 opponent at home for the second time this season.
AJ Dybantsa added 21 points, six rebounds and four assists for BYU. Kennard Davis Jr. chipped in 16 points. The Cougars, who outscored Texas Tech 48-14 in the paint and 20-9 in second-chance points, shot 50% from the field after halftime.
Donovan Atwell and Christian Anderson led the Red Raiders with 23 points apiece. Anderson added nine assists, and Jaylen Petty had 14 points. Texas Tech (22-9, 12-6) was handed its second consecutive loss.
Wright and Dybantsa combined to make five straight baskets that fueled a 15-2 run, giving BYU a 75-66 lead with 4:16 left.
Texas Tech erased that deficit, though, tying it on Anderson’s deep 3-pointer with 1:46 left. Davis banked in a corner 3 on the ensuing possession to put the Cougars ahead for good, and Wright made four free throws in the final seconds to seal the win.
The Red Raiders went 12 of 19 from 3-point range in the first half.
Anderson made four 3s and assisted on four other baskets to help Texas Tech sprint out to a 31-18 lead.
BYU cut the deficit to 46-38 by halftime. The Cougars made five consecutive baskets over the final 3:25 of the half, culminating in Davis and Dybantsa combining for a trio of 3-pointers over three straight possessions.
Texas Tech is the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 Tournament and gets a double bye into the quarterfinals Thursday.
BYU is the No. 10 seed and faces 15th-seeded Kansas State in the first round Tuesday.

BERLIN (AP) — Bayern Munich scored with the last kick of the game to salvage a 3-3 draw with last-place Heidenheim in the Bundesliga before it welcomes Paris Saint-Germain for the second leg of their Champions League semifinal.
Michael Olise struck the post for Bayern and the ball bounced off Heidenheim goalkeeper Diant Ramaj’s back into the net for the equalizer in the 10th minute of stoppage time on Saturday.
It was the third straight game that Bayern trailed at halftime, including its 5-4 loss to PSG in the first leg of their semifinal on Tuesday, and last weekend’s 4-3 win in Mainz, where the already crowned Bundesliga champion faced a three-goal deficit.
Bayern coach Vincent Kompany made seven changes to the team that started against PSG with Manuel Neuer, Dayot Upamecano, Alphonso Davies, Joshua Kimmich, Michael Olise, Luis Díaz and Harry Kane all on the substitutes’ bench.
Heidenheim’s Budu Zivzivadze and Eren Dinkci scored before Leon Goretzka pulled one back with a free kick before the break, and Kompany sent on Kane, Díaz, Olise and Kimmich for the second half.
Goretzka leveled with his second goal in the 57th, Zivzivadze scored again to restore Heidenheim’s lead in the 76th, only for Olise to force the equalizer.
The draw leaves Heidenheim on the verge of relegation.
Union Berlin fought back to draw 2-2 with Cologne for its first point under new coach Marie-Louise Eta, the first female head coach in the league.
Tom Rothe pulled one back after a corner in the 73rd and substitute Livan Burcu let fly for what seemed for the home fans like a winner in the 89th, after Marius Bülter and Said El Mala had scored for Cologne.
The draw kept Union a point above Cologne and will probably be enough for survival.
Hoffenheim drew with Stuttgart 3-3 in their duel for Champions League qualification, and Hamburger SV won 2-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt to move a point above Union.
Augsburg won 3-1 at Werder Bremen.
Bayer Leverkusen was hosting Leipzig later for another duel with Champions League qualification at stake.
