Lady Raiders drop Big 12 opener to TCU 78-69

With a tie game and 7:21 left in the game, TCU went to a full court press, and wherever the ball went, two Horned Frogs were there to trap.

And the Lady Raiders struggled.

Until that mark, Texas Tech had committed seven turnovers, and TCU hadn’t scored off any of them.

But three quick turnovers off that press led to three straight layups for the Horned Frogs, a lead and all the momentum as TCU fought back from a 15-point deficit to take a 78-69 victory Wednesday evening at United Supermarkets Arena.

The Lady Raiders didn’t lose their pose as the the game ended, however, as they turned TCU over four times in the final three minutes to go on an 8-0 run and cut the Horned Frog lead to three with 30 seconds left.
