Texas Tech Closes Out Regular Season at Oklahoma
Texas Tech (10-9 Big 12, 23-10 overall) enters its final
contest at Oklahoma after defeating Baylor 3-0 and losing two
matches to two nationally ranked Big 12 opponents- No. 11
Nebraska (Friday) and No. 22 Colorado (Saturday).
Texas Tech, currently sixth in the Big 12 at 10-9, is playing
for an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. Tech is ranked No. 7 in
District 5 behind Oklahoma (No. 5) and Kansas State (No. 6).
The Red Raiders lost two matches to Kansas State and one to
Oklahoma but have victories against ranked opponents Colorado
and Texas A&M. In addition, the Red Raiders have already
defeated automatic bids South Florida, Hofstra and
Tennessee-Chattanooga who all won their conference titles and
will be automatic bids into the tournament.
Last year, the selection committee selected six Big 12 schools
in District 5, therefore Texas Tech is on the bubble. Will the
NCAA selection committee take seven Big 12 schools? That
question remains to be answered.
A special section in this release has been dedicated to
upcoming NCAA information. Please read that.
Oklahoma (11-7 Big 12, 17-12) is ranked No. 5 in the District 5
rankings and is in fifth place in the conference. The Raiders
were defeated by the Sooners 3-2 at Coronado High School
earlier in the season.
