FRIDAY, 11 A.M., UNITED SUPERMARKETS ARENA
Early goings
The Texas Tech women’s basketball team has an unusually early start to its season Friday, tipping off at 11 a.m. against Niagara as part of annual Education Day celebration.

“We’re going on the assumption that they are going to be excited for their first game and the environment will be awesome with more than 5,500 kids screaming,” Whitaker said. “It will be a great start to our season.
