Tech stands at 6-6 overall and 1-2 in the Western Athletic Conference while Fresno State is 8-4 and 2-1.

Senior guard Donell Allick rounds out Tech?s double-digit scorers with 10.0 ppg and is adding 3.7 rebounds per contest.

?We?re still trying to find the right mix and to get the right people around Paul to help us get better offensively,? Tech coach Keith Richard said. ?Fresno State is a good team coming off a loss, so we know we?ve got to be ready.?

Tech is averaging 65.7 points per game but has struggled offensively in WAC contests, where the Bulldogs are averaging 57.0 points per game. On the other side of the ball, Fresno State is averaging 73.8 points per game and 68.3 ppg through its first three WAC contests.
