Can Texas Tech Lady Raiders Outmaneuver the Longhorns at Moody Center?

As the Texas Tech Lady Raiders prepare to face off against the Texas Longhorns, fans are eager to see if their team can carry forward their momentum. The upcoming clash is set for February 22nd at the Moody Center in Austin, and it promises to be a riveting encounter.

The Lady Raiders have had a mixed bag of performances in their recent outings. In their last game against Oregon State Beavers, they put up a valiant effort but fell short with 65 points against the Beavers' 77. Despite showing resilience by scoring 27 points in the final quarter and making impressive steals (12), they struggled with field goal accuracy, shooting only 34 percent overall and a mere 20 percent from beyond the arc.

In contrast, during their home game against Incarnate Word Cardinals, Texas Tech showcased dominance with a convincing victory of 76-35. Their defensive prowess was on full display as they racked up an impressive 17 steals and capitalized on turnovers with an astounding 44 points off turnovers. They also demonstrated efficiency in shooting with an overall field goal percentage of 47 percent.

However, consistency has been an issue for the Lady Raiders as evidenced by another home game where they were defeated by Tulsa's Golden Hurricane with a score of 58-66. Once again, shooting was not at its best; field goals were made at just a rate of only about one-quarter success and three-point attempts were successful only about one-fifth of the time.

The upcoming game will test whether Texas Tech can find stability in their performance. Playing away from home adds another layer of challenge as they navigate through hostile territory at Moody Center—a venue that could influence player focus and energy levels.

Fans can catch this exciting matchup live on February 22nd at Moody Center or tune into broadcasts for real-time updates on how well Texas Tech adapts to these challenges and whether they can outplay their rivals on foreign hardwood.
