Clash at Marriott Center: Texas Tech Lady Raiders to Face BYU Cougars

As the Texas Tech Lady Raiders prepare to take on the BYU Cougars at the Marriott Center in Provo, fans can anticipate a game where recent trends and past performances will play a significant role. The upcoming match scheduled for January 20th will test the Lady Raiders' resilience after their varied outcomes in previous games.

The Lady Raiders have shown fluctuating form, with their last three games presenting a mixed bag of results. In their most recent encounter against Oregon State Beavers, they put up 65 points but fell short defensively, allowing 77 points. Their shooting from the field was subpar at 34 percent overall and an even lower three-point percentage of 20. However, they demonstrated proficiency from the free-throw line with a solid 76 percent completion rate.

In contrast to this loss, their home game against Incarnate Word Cardinals showcased what Texas Tech is capable of when firing on all cylinders. Dominating with a scoreline of 76-35, they excelled in both offense and defense. A notable statistic from that victory was their impressive steal count of 17 which translated into points off turnovers—a staggering total of 44.

However, consistency remains an issue as evidenced by another home game where they were defeated by Tulsa's Golden Hurricane with only 58 points scored compared to Tulsa's 66. Once again shooting accuracy was lacking; field goals were made at just over a quarter (27 percent) and three-point attempts were successful only one-fifth (21 percent) of the time.

The venue could influence proceedings as well; playing away at Marriott Center might pose additional challenges for Texas Tech given its capacity crowd known for creating an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams.
