Texas Tech Lady Raiders to Face Houston Cougars in a Showdown at Fertitta Center
As the Texas Tech Lady Raiders prepare to face off against the Houston Cougars at the Fertitta Center, fans are eager to see if they can carry their momentum forward. The upcoming clash scheduled for December 30th is poised to be a showcase of resilience and strategy.
The Lady Raiders have had a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings. Their last game against Oregon State's Beavers saw them put up a valiant effort, scoring 65 points. Despite showing promise with a strong final quarter where they scored 27 points, it wasn't enough to secure victory. Their shooting accuracy from the field was at 34 percent and from beyond the arc at just 20 percent, indicating room for improvement in offensive efficiency.
In contrast, during their encounter with Tulsa's Golden Hurricane, Texas Tech struggled offensively throughout the game. They ended up on the losing side with only 58 points as their shooting percentages dipped further — field goals fell to an alarming low of 27 percent and three-pointers were just slightly better than their previous outing at 21 percent.
However, when facing Incarnate Word's Cardinals earlier this month, Texas Tech showcased what they're capable of when firing on all cylinders. Dominating with a score of 76 points and an impressive steal count of 17 leading to numerous fast-break opportunities contributed significantly to that victory. Their field goal percentage stood at a much-improved rate of 47 percent while converting one-third of their attempts from distance.
The upcoming game will test whether Texas Tech can find consistency in their performance and capitalize on turnovers as effectively as they did against Incarnate Word. The venue may play its part too; playing away could either galvanize them or add pressure against a presumably partisan crowd.
