Recent Performance Analysis

The Texas Tech Lady Raiders have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings. In their last game against TCU, the team struggled offensively, scoring only 42 points and shooting at a 29 percent clip from the field. Their three-point attempts weren't much better, with a success rate of just 27 percent. Despite these challenges, they managed to secure some points in the paint (20) but ultimately fell short against TCU's robust defense.

However, in a previous encounter with Utah at home, the Lady Raiders showed signs of resilience and offensive firepower by putting up 64 points against a tough opponent. Their shooting improved significantly to 49 percent from the field and an impressive 53 percent from beyond the arc. This performance showcased their potential when they find their rhythm offensively.

Against Colorado on the road, Texas Tech faced difficulties once again with ball control and shooting efficiency. They scored only 51 points while shooting at a mere 32 percent from field goals and turned over the ball nineteen times which hampered their ability to maintain consistent offensive pressure throughout the game.

Looking Ahead

As they face off against Baylor Bears back on their home court at United Supermarkets Arena, it's crucial for Texas Tech Lady Raiders to capitalize on their strengths and address areas that have led to inconsistencies in past games. Improving shot selection and reducing turnovers will be key factors if they aim to overcome Baylor's defense.

The venue itself could play into Texas Tech's favor; playing at home has historically provided teams with an added boost due either to familiar surroundings or crowd support. For fans planning on attending or watching from home, expect an intense battle as both teams vie for dominance in this highly anticipated clash.

The upcoming game is scheduled for February 15th at 3:00 PM EST and will be broadcasted on ESPN+.
