LADY RAIDER RECAP: Kansas 67, Texas Tech 50
January 18, 2020 | Women's Basketball
LAWRENCE, Kan. – The Texas Tech Lady Raider basketball team fell, 67-50, to Kansas on Saturday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Texas Tech was led by Lexi Gordon with 12 points and eight rebounds on the night for her sixth double-digit outing in seven games. Brittany Brewer pulled down 12 rebounds despite only playing 21 minutes due to foul trouble.
The Lady Raiders got out to a nice start in the opening quarter, jumping out to an 8-3 lead in the early minutes of the game, thanks to a scoring outburst from Gordon, who had nine points in the first period. Kansas would score 10 of the final 12 points in the first, however, to take a 17-13 lead into the second frame.
The Jayhawks went on to take a 34-25 lead into the locker room at halftime.
The Lady Raiders struggled to get anything going from that point, as Kansas held Tech at arm's length for the remainder of the game.
NOTABLE
- For the fifth time this season, Texas Tech went with the starting five of Chrislyn Carr, Jo'Nah Johnson, Sydney Goodson, Lexi Gordon and Brittany Brewer. The Lady Raiders moved to 3-2 this season when deploying this starting five.
