The team, which is led by a tenacious lineup and a dominant pitching rotation, has been remarkably consistent both at home and away. With strong performances from both freshmen and upperclassmen, Texas Tech now enters the Big 12 Tournament in Oklahoma City with a strong momentum and a real chance to win the championship.

Fans are hoping this team can make a strong run into the NCAA Tournament now that postseason hopes are in reach.
This week, Texas Tech women’s basketball also created a stir on the court when they used the transfer portal to get a seasoned experienced guard.
