Texas Tech unleashed a 13-0 run to start the fourth quarter to break open a tight game and defeat TCU 79-64 in a Big 12 women’s basketball game Monday night at United Supermarkets Arena in Lubbock.
Monday’s game served as a warmup of sorts as the teams will meet again at 6 p.m. Friday in Oklahoma City in the first round of the Big 12 tournament.
Jada Butts scored 15 points to lead the Horned Frogs (12-17, 4-14), who will enter the tournament as the No. 9 seed against the No. 8 Red Raiders (13-16, 5-13).
The winner of Friday’s game advances to face top-seeded Baylor (28-2, 17-1) at 1:30 p.
