There\u2019s a ton of confidence in the LAud Raiders&#8217; ability to wrap up the regular season with a win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-1\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5b\">And that\u2019s exciting! That\u2019s good! That\u2019d be great to see unfold. <a href=\"https:\/\/wreckemred.com\/big-12-women-s-basketball-standings-entering-the-final-weekend-of-the-regular-season-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Texas Tech<\/a> really does need a win like that against the likes of the Sun Devils. Get some momentum going into the Big 12 women\u2019s basketball tournament. It\u2019s a must.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5e\">And really, there is no full reason to doubt that Texas Tech can\u2019t come out on top. It shouldn\u2019t be shocking that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/womens-college-basketball\/game\/_\/gameId\/401827431\/arizona-st-texas-tech\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">the Lady Raiders are being given an 84.4 percent chance of beating Arizona State<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5h\">Texas Tech, so far, is 14-2 at home this season. The Lady Raiders have been able to go out and beat a ton of teams. And when you\u2019ve got talent like Bailey Maupin and Snudda Collins available, you should be winning games like this.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Texas Tech is an absolutely massive favorite against Arizona State Sun Devils according to ESPN\u2019s Matchup Predictor<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5n\">But unfortunately, Texas Tech has managed to lose its last two games. The Colorado Buffaloes and the Kansas Jayhawks both gave the Lady Raiders losses. And In that loss to Kansas, Texas Tech only scored 59 points. That win over Baylor from February 18 feels so far away right now and we\u2019re just a couple weeks removed from it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"5q\">So while it\u2019s great that ESPN\u2019s Matchup Predictor is favoring the Lady Raiders here, we\u2019re going to need to see some proof of concept. Texas Tech really needs to find a way to win this one. This losing streak can\u2019t continue into the conference tournament. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rolling into the final game of the regular season for the Texas Tech Lady Raiders, Krista Gerlich and&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":186162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":["post-186161","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lubbock","tag-lubbock","tag-lubbock-headlines","tag-lubbock-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186161","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=186161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/186162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=186161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=186161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=186161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
