Clash on the Court: Texas Tech Lady Raiders Host Incarnate Word Cardinals at United Supermarkets Arena
As the Texas Tech Lady Raiders gear up to face the Incarnate Word Cardinals at United Supermarkets Arena, fans are buzzing with anticipation. The Lady Raiders have been showcasing a dominant performance this season, and their upcoming game is expected to be no different.
In their last encounter against the Sam Houston Bearkats on December 6th, TTU displayed an offensive masterclass, racking up 93 points with a staggering field goal percentage of 57. Their two-point conversion rate was an impressive 69 percent, which speaks volumes about their efficiency in close-range shots. Moreover, they capitalized on turnovers by scoring 22 points off them and showed excellent ball distribution with 25 assists.
Defensively, TTU has been just as formidable. They held the Houston Christian Huskies to a mere 34 points in their December 2nd game. The Huskies struggled from beyond the arc with only a 13 percent success rate for three-pointers against TTU's tight perimeter defense. Additionally, TTU's ability to convert defensive plays into fast-break opportunities was evident as they scored another solid number of fast-break points.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for TTU; they had some challenges during their November 30th game against UC Irvine Anteaters where they narrowly outscored them by six points. Despite winning that contest by a scoreline of 60-54, it highlighted areas for improvement such as reducing turnovers and improving two-point shot selection.
The Incarnate Word Cardinals come into this matchup as underdogs but should not be underestimated. Their resilience and ability to stay competitive could pose challenges for TTU if taken lightly.
Looking ahead to December 13th at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock at precisely half past five in the afternoon local time – expect nothing less than an electrifying atmosphere where fans will witness whether Texas Tech can continue its dominance or if Incarnate Word will rise to occasion and upset expectations.
