BAKER CAREER HIGH
Texas Tech senior forward Kelsi Baker scored a career-high 19 points on Saturday against Texas. She beat her previous high of 18 points scored twice against Jacksonville State (Nov. 14, 2014) and Oregon State (Dec. 21, 2012). It was even more special for Baker that she scored her highest total during the Play 4 Kay Pink Game with her mom, Valerie - who is a breast cancer survivor, in attendance.
FROM THE LINE
Texas Tech was 16 of 20 (80 percent) from the free-throw line on Saturday against Texas. It's only the fourth time this season that the Lady Raiders have averaged 80 percent or better from the charity stripe (87.5 vs. NC State, 88.2 at Texas, 82.4 vs. Kansas).
DOUBLE DIGITS
Texas Tech senior Amber Battle scored her 19th game this season in double digits with 16 points on Saturday while junior transfer Rayven Brooks scored her eighth game in double figures with 12 points against Texas. Brooks is averaging 13 points in her last six games and Battle is averaging 16.6 points in her last five.
COUNTDOWN TO 1K
Texas Tech senior Amber Battle now sits at 987 career points after scoring 16 on Saturday against Texas. She is trying to become the 31st Lady Raider to score 1,000 career points and the first since Chynna Brown and Casey Morris did so in 2013.
