The mark of 35 was last achieved in the second quarter of the Sept. 24, 2005 victory over Indiana State. Before that, the Red Raiders had 35 points, also in the second quarter, against SMU in 1990.

Tech's 52-point effort was tied the team record for most points in a half, which came in the same 2005 contest against Indiana State.
