Oklahoma Sooners Host Texas Tech Lady Raiders at Lloyd Noble Center in Women's Basketball Showdown

As the Oklahoma Sooners prepare to host the Texas Tech Lady Raiders at the Lloyd Noble Center, fans are anticipating an intense matchup in women's basketball. The Sooners have shown a pattern of strong starts but have struggled to maintain their momentum through recent games.

In their last game against Southern University Jaguars, the Sooners scored 70 points but fell short by nine points. Despite out-rebounding their opponents with 42 rebounds and making more assists (17), they were hindered by a high turnover rate, giving up possession 27 times which significantly impacted their assist-to-turnover ratio.

Their previous encounter with North Carolina Tar Heels also ended in defeat, scoring only 52 points. The team’s shooting percentage was notably low at around 26 percent from the field and just under four percent from beyond the arc. This shooting slump contributed to their inability to keep pace with the Tar Heels' scoring.

Against UNLV Lady Rebels, while they managed a higher score of 76 points, it wasn't enough to secure victory. They showed improvement in assists with a total of 22 and had a better assist-to-turnover ratio than previous games; however, turnovers continued to be an issue as they gave up possession 18 times.

The trend suggests that while Oklahoma has potential offensively – demonstrated by periods of high-scoring quarters – consistency is key for them moving forward. Ball security and shot selection will be critical areas for improvement if they hope to capitalize on home-court advantage against Texas Tech.

Fans can expect an exciting game as Oklahoma looks to turn around its fortunes at Lloyd Noble Center on January 13th at 8 PM local time (20:00 UTC). The game promises competitive spirit and determination as both teams vie for victory. Supporters can catch all the action live from Norman or tune in via broadcast networks yet to be announced.
