As Kristia Gerlich and the Texas Tech Lady Raiders get set to play Sunday afternoon\u2019s game, they\u2019re getting set to face off against a team that the Lady Raiders really haven\u2019t had much success against in recent matchups.<\/p>\n
And to be fully honest, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind things haven\u2019t been all that impressive for the Texas Tech women\u2019s basketball team in their most recent games this season. There\u2019s so much that this Texas Tech team is capable of and this game bears a shocking amount of importance because of what it could represent.<\/p>\n
Not only could this be a game that snaps a losing streak against the TCU Horned Frogs, but also this could provide the Lady Raiders with a Big 12 standings boost AND would get Texas Tech out of a funk where they\u2019ve lost three of their last four games.<\/p>\n
Texas Tech Lady Raiders set to face the No. 12 TCU Horned Frogs in hopes of snapping skid vs one of the Big 12\u2019s best<\/p>\n
But again, Texas Tech hasn\u2019t been able to beat the Horned Frogs since they met up on January 27, 2024. Since then, the Lady Raiders have lost all three matchups against TCU by scores of 73-52, 69-43, and 63-42.\u00a0<\/p>\n
That\u2019s an average margin of defeat of 22.7 points. Which, you know. That\u2019s not great. And again, it\u2019s not great that the Lady Raiders lost to the Kansas State Wildcats by six points, the BYU Cougars by 12 points, and the Iowa State Cyclones by 14 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Texas Tech gets set to face off against the Horned Frogs, it\u2019s worth remembering that TCU is currently 20-2 overall and 8-1 in Big 12 play. They\u2019re on a six-game winning streak in Big 12 play as they come into this game. They haven\u2019t really struggled much against other Big 12 teams. And Texas Tech desperately needs this win to get things rolling in the right direction once more. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"As Kristia Gerlich and the Texas Tech Lady Raiders get set to play Sunday afternoon\u2019s game, they\u2019re getting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":146502,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-146501","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lubbock","8":"tag-lubbock","9":"tag-lubbock-headlines","10":"tag-lubbock-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/146501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/146502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=146501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=146501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
