Monday Morning Matador: basketball programs, coaching hires and softball rankings

Welcome to 2019! Six days in and we’ve had a lot of action for the scarlet and black. The Monday Morning Matador is here to give you a brief recap of all the happenings in Texas Tech athletics. Let’s get started.

After a four-game win streak, the Lady Raiders lost a heartbreaker to Oklahoma in the Big 12 opener. The first half went completely Texas Tech’s way, having a nine point lead after Chrislyn Carr and Brittany Brewer tore it up from beyond the arch. In the final period, however, Oklahoma managed to stage a substantial rally and beat Tech by 66-61.
