Texas Tech women’s basketball has officially been in the AP poll for the entirety of 2026 after coming in at No. 21 in the latest rankings. This marks the tenth straight week they have been ranked. The Lady Raiders dropped one late on the road to Kansas on Wednesday before returning home and winning on Senior Day sunday over Arizona State. This capped a regular season that brought the most wins since 2004 overall and the most wins in conference since 2005 at 25-6 (12-6.)

Defense has been the team’s calling card all season as they finish the regular season second behind TCU in the Big 12 for scoring defense at 58.1 points allowed per game. This is just off the program record of 56.9 points allowed per game by the 2010-11 team. A defense that showcases the Big 12 blocks leader Jalynn Bristow at 2.2 a game and two of the top six steal leaders in the conference in Gemma Núñez (2.1) and Denae Fritz (2.0.)

Texas Tech now heads to postseason play, starting with the Big 12 Tournmanent in Kansas City. The Lady Raiders finished the regular season tied for fourth place with Oklahoma State and will take the five seed due to a tiebreaker scenario. Tech will begin play on Thursday at 11am versus the winner of Wednesday’s game between Cincinnati and Kansas State. Full Big 12 tournament bracket and event info can be found here.
