LUBBOCK, Texas – Fans got their first glimpse of the 2016-17 edition of Texas Tech Lady Raider Basketball on Saturday afternoon, in the practice gym at United Supermarkets Arena.

Lady Raider fans lined the walls of the practice gym to get their first look at the newly eligible Recee' Caldwell, Larryn Brooks and Jada Terry, as well as new freshmen Grayson Bright, Brittany Brewer and Arella Guirantes. Returners Japreece Dean, Ivonne CookTaylor, Dayo Olabode and Ionna McKenzie as well as new transfer Erin DeGrate rounded out the participants.

Today's practice marked one of 10 NCAA-allotted practice days before the Lady Raiders depart for Portugal and Spain, Aug. 15.

"We appreciate everyone being here today," Texas Tech head coach Candi Whitaker said. "We are excited that practice is in full swing preparing for our Foreign Tour. I thought we had great energy out there and it was a good day overall, so I'm glad our fans were able to come get a look at us early on."

After practice, fans participated in a "Meet-and-Greet" with the Lady Raiders, which included autograph signings and an introduction of the 2016-17 squad.

Season tickets for the 2016-17 women's basketball campaign are on sale now, and fans can purchase them online at www.TexasTech.com, in person at the Texas Tech Athletics Ticket Office located on the East Side of Jones AT&T Stadium or via the phone at (806) 742-8324.
