February 29, 2020 | Men's Basketball
LUBBOCK, Texas – Texas Tech Athletics is honoring men's basketball Ring of Honor and Hall of Fame member Andre Emmett during the Texas Tech vs. Texas game, Saturday, February 29. Emmett passed away on September 23, 2019 in Dallas. The men's basketball team will be wearing a warm-up shirt to honor Emmett, the design derived from uniforms worn during Emmett's playing days.

Emmett is the all-time leading scorer in program history with 2,256 career points from 2001-04. A Dallas native, Emmett finished his career scoring 17.6 points per game and with 765 rebounds, 201 assists and 164 blocks. He earned All-America honors during his senior season, was a two-time NABC All-District First-Team selection and three-time Big 12 All-Conference First-Team member.
Emmett was named the Big 12 Player of the Week six times in his career and is second in program history with 10 games with 30 or more points. He would record 16 double-doubles as a Red Raider, including seven during his senior season. Emmett, who was 882-for-1,765 (50 percent) from the field in 128 games, scored a career-high 34 points against Missouri on Feb. 9, 2003 and finished his junior season averaging 21.8 points per game. A 6-foot-5 guard, he is the all-time leading scorer in conference play for the Red Raiders with 1,112 points and 17.7 points per game.

Â
For fans wishing to honor Emmett, replica shirts will be offered through several Red Raider retailers with a goal in mind - to generate $25k needed to contribute to the Nancy Lieberman Charities for the installation of a Lubbock Dream Court in Emmett's name.
Â
Texas Tech Athletics has waived all royalties on this shirt, with those funds flowing directly to the Dream Court initiative. Additionally, Gear for Sports and participating retailers including The Matador, Red Raider Outfitter, Cardinal's, Hibbetts, and Fanatics are contributing $10 from the sale of each shirt to the fund. Should the $25k not be realized via the sales proceeds, Texas Tech Athletics will contribute the difference. Fans wishing to contribute to the Lubbock Dream Court can do so online at caringcent.com/andredreamcourt or by calling (806) 742-1196.
