Heard scores new career-high in defeat to Lady Raiders
LUBBOCK, Texas – The No. 25-ranked TCU Horned Frogs nearly overcame a 15-point deficit, but the run proved to be too much in a 87-83 road loss to the Texas Tech Lady Raiders, Sunday afternoon at United Supermarkets Arena.
The loss dropped TCU to 20-7 overall and 11-5 in the Big 12, while Texas Tech pushed its record to 17-10 on the year and 6-10 in the league.
THE RUNDOWN
TCU trailed by as many as 15 points, down 72-57 with 9:41 left to play in the fourth quarter. Lauren Heard, who scored a career-high 28 points, opened an 18-5 run with a bucket and Jaycee Bradley scored seven of her 14 points during that span to pull the Frogs back within three, down 78-75.
The Lady Raiders pushed its lead to 82-78 and a three-pointer from Bradley got the Frogs within a point, but TCU's offense would come up empty in the final minute-plus and Texas Tech escaped the comeback.
TCU ended up making eight three-pointers in the game, but seven of them came in the first half. Meanwhile, Texas Tech finished the contest with a season-high 10 three's overall. TTU's Lexi Gordon, who scored a game-high 30 points, led the charge with five three-pointers on the day.
UP NEXT
TCU is back home this Wednesday, March 4, hosting the Oklahoma Sooners on Senior Day. The team will honor its six seniors during a postgame ceremony. Tip-off is set for 6 p.m. at Schollmaier Arena.
