ABOUT THE LADY RAIDERS
The Lady Raiders enter the weekend looking to build on an epic overtime win over conference foe Oklahoma on Wednesday that marked the team's second conference victory this season. Just over halfway into the season, Texas Tech sits only one victory behind their final win total from a season ago.
Second-year Lady Raider head coach Marlene Stollings boasts a deep team. Led by Brittany Brewer, who leads the nation in blocks and is averaging a double-double, and 2019 Big 12 Freshman of the Year Chrislyn Carr, Texas Tech has already experienced plenty of success in 2020 which the team will look to build on over the final months of the season. The Lady Raiders finished the nonconference schedule undefeated for the first time in eight seasons at 11-0. Additionally, led by 29 points from Andrayah Adams, Tech picked up its first overtime win in four years on Wednesday.

The Baylor Bears (16-1, 5-0 Big 12) come into Saturday's game ranked as the top team in the country in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Coming off its 46th-straight Big 12 win in a victory over TCU on Wednesday, Baylor has a balanced attack with five players averaging double figures, including All-American and Big 12 Preseason Player of the Year Lauren Cox. Additionally, point guard Didi Richards leads the Big 12 in assists per game at 5.1 and Juicy Landrum ranks second in the conference in three point field goal percentage at 44.7 percent.

Oklahoma expanded its lead to as large as 15 with 1:35 left in the third quarter; however, the Lady Raiders wouldn't quit, and outscored Oklahoma, 29-14, through the rest of regulation to force overtime. Carr took over and scored eight points in overtime to secure the Texas Tech victory.
