Jordyn Merritt focused on playing a larger leadership role for Texas Tech during the offseason. Right now, she's a big part of why the Lady Raiders are clicking as a unit at 9-1 on the season and undefeated at home. Tonight they will face SMU at 7pm CST.

Something that may only interest me: the WNBA's CBA says that they have to have a minimum prize pool of $750,000 for in-season competitions. The Commissioner's Cup prize pool is $500k. So what happened to the rest of the money? Well, WNBA originally planned for multiple in-season competitions. But👇

Look how evenly matched Texas and West Virginia are statistically when it comes to forcing turnovers and % of offense that comes from TO. Who can take care of the ball? Who can be more disruptive? No. 5 Texas and No. 12 West Virginia face off tonight at 7:30pm ET.

Ayoka Lee has got to be the best in the country at burying a defender deep in the restricted area.. and every time it’s an automatic 2pt. I’ll tell you right now that lack of ball pressure and playing behind Lee in the post is not the answer to beat the Wildcats.
