Texas Tech women’s basketball is 10-0 and dominating on both ends. The Lady Raiders head to Pullman to test their defense and depth on ESPN.
The Texas Tech Lady Raiders are rolling into December exactly where they want to be ... unbeaten, confident, and imposing.
At 10-0, Tech has turned its non-conference schedule into a statement tour, and the next stop sends the Lady Raiders to the Pacific Northwest for a Thursday night showdown with Washington State in Pullman.
Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. CT from Beasley Coliseum, with national coverage on ESPN, giving Tech another prime opportunity to prove its start is no fluke.

Texas Tech is a perfect 4-0 all-time against Washington State, including a tight 56-52 win last November. This time, though, Tech arrives playing its most complete basketball of the season.
That was on full display in an 83-43 demolition of Wichita State, Tech's first 40-plus-point win since November 2023.
The Lady Raiders dominated every phase of the game, outrebounding the Shockers 53-32, shooting 45.9 percent from the floor and 41.7 percent from three.
Wichita State, meanwhile, was smothered into 23.2 percent shooting and just four made threes.
Four Lady Raiders reached double figures, while Jada Malone and Gemma Nunez each pulled down 10 rebounds. Malone continues to surge, posting her first Texas Tech double-double with 19 points and 10 boards.
She's now scored in double figures in three of her last four games while shooting a blistering 17-for-25 over that stretch.

Senior Jalynn Bristow remains the steady scoring leader at 15.2 points per game, but depth is the real weapon. Tech's bench exploded for 49 points against Wichita State, pushing its season average to 30.3 bench points per game, good for 27th nationally and third in the Big 12.
Few teams can match Tech's pace and stamina for 40 minutes.
Defense, however, is the identity. No opponent has shot above 40 percent against Texas Tech this season. Eight teams have been held under 35 percent, and four under 20 percent from three.
Nationally, the Lady Raiders rank second in opponent field-goal percentage (30.4%), ninth in opponent three-point percentage (23.7%), and 12th in scoring defense (52.1 ppg).
With an average scoring margin of plus-25.8, eight wins by 20 or more, and four by 30-plus, Texas Tech isn't just winning. It's overwhelming opponents, and Pullman is next on the list.
