That’s 20 wins for the season for the Lady Raiders with a 61-49 win over SMU. Bailey Maupin led the way with 21 points, going 7 of 16 with 3 boards, and assist and 2 turnovers. Texas Tech dominated inside, 32 points in the paint to just 18. Amazingly, SMU made just 3 of 18 3-pointers and Texas Tech made 2 of 19. Up next is Arkansas on Friday, March 24th at 7:00 p.m. in Fayetteville.

Baseball doesn’t play until Friday in Austin against Texas (all games will be on the LHN), but until then, Texas Tech jumped up the rankings, Baseball America has Texas Tech at No. 16 and D1 Baseball has Texas Tech at No. 14.

ESPN ($) has a short update for the basketball search, but it’s not much of an update:

Similarly, Texas Tech has yet to progress much in its search. Paul Mills (Oral Roberts), Grant McCasland (North Texas) and Andy Kennedy (UAB) are still the buzziest names, but there remains speculation whether Tech will take a couple bigger swings. One name linked on Monday is Mississippi State’s Chris Jans, who was also briefly mentioned with the Wichita State opening, but it’s unclear whether he has any interest in leaving the SEC.

I don’t know who would be a bigger swing (I really don’t and can only think about teams still playing?).
