LUBBOCK, Texas (Ticker) - Bob Knight makes his second attempt at career coaching victory No. 900 on Wednesday when Texas Tech hosts No. 9 Texas A&M in a Big 12 Conference game.

Senior forward Joseph Jones averages 11.3 points and 5.0 rebounds, while 7-foot freshman center DeAndre Jordan averages 10.5 points and a team-high 7.2 boards.
