On November 10, 2017, Culver debuted for Texas Tech in a 75–50 win over South Alabama, scoring 2 points in 16 minutes.[10] He recorded a season-high in non-conference play against Wofford on November 22, scoring 21 points.[11] In his next game, Culver recorded 18 points and a season-best 7 assists in a 103–69 win over Savannah State.[12] Two days later, he was named Big 12 Conference Newcomer of the Week.[13] On December 16, Culver chipped in 8 points and a season-high 6 steals against Rice.[14] He recorded his first double-double on February 26, 2018 versus West Virginia, with season-bests of 26 points and 12 rebounds.[15] As a freshman, Culver averaged 11.2 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game.[16] He scored 229 points in conference play, breaking the Texas Tech freshman record set by Martin Zeno in 2005.[5]

Sophomore season

Entering his sophomore season, Culver was named preseason All-Big 12 honorable mention.[17] He was also one of 20 players to make the 2019 Jerry West Award watch list.[18] Culver assumed a leading role in his second year, with the departures of key players Zhaire Smith and Keenan Evans. He made his debut on November 6, 2018, recording 16 points and 4 assists in an 87–37 win over Incarnate Word.[19] On November 20, Culver scored 26 points against Nebraska to win most valuable player (MVP) honors at the Hall of Fame Classic.[20] The next day, he became one of 20 players to be named to the Oscar Robertson Trophy midseason watch list.[21] Culver erupted for 30 points, shooting 12-of-13 from the field, in a December 15 victory over Abilene Christian.[22] Shortly after, he earned Big 12 Player of the Week honors.[23] On March 9, 2019, Culver scored 31 points against Iowa State, which was not only a season-high, but also a career-high.

After leading the Red Raiders to a share of the Big 12 regular season title, he was named Big 12 Player of the Year at the end of conference play.[24] In the quarterfinals of the 2019 Big 12 Men's Basketball Tournament, despite him scoring 26 points and hauling in 10 rebounds, Culver and the Red Raiders were upset by #10 seed West Virginia. In the first round of the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, Culver nearly recorded a triple-double with 29 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists against #14 seed Northern Kentucky. In the second round, Culver helped lead to another win against #6 seed Buffalo, recording a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. He also recorded 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks against #6 seed Buffalo. In the Regional Semifinals (the Sweet 16), he helped lead the Red Raiders to a historic upset over the #2 seed Michigan Wolverines, scoring 22 points. In the Regional Finals (the Elite Eight), he again led Texas Tech with 19 points and another upset against #1 seed Gonzaga, resulting in the program's first-ever appearance in the National Semifinals (the Final Four). Culver struggled in the Final Four game against Michigan State, scoring 10 points on 3/12 shooting, in a 61–51 Texas Tech win. In the championship game, Culver again struggled, scoring 15 points on 5/22 shooting in an 85–77 overtime loss to Virginia. After the season, Culver declared for the 2019 NBA draft.
