Softball Team Advances in Big 12 Tournament
The No. 11 Texas Tech softball team is on a mission after winning its first-ever regular-season Big 12 title. In the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament held in Oklahoma City, Tech decisively defeated Baylor 4-0, thanks to ace pitcher NiJaree Canady who dominated the game with 6.2 innings pitched, allowing just one hit and striking out 13. The Red Raiders surged ahead with a strong bottom of the fifth inning, highlighted by a fielder’s choice from Demi Elder and a three-run single from Mihyia Davis. Tech now prepares to face No. 5 seed Arizona State in the semifinals, aiming for a championship appearance.
Basketball Recruiting News
On the basketball front, Texas Tech’s incoming signee Nolan Groves has received a three-star rating from 247Sports, moving from unranked status. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard and 2024-25 Minnesota Gatorade Player of the Year is expected to bolster the Red Raiders’ lineup after decommitting from Yale.
Former Texas Tech player Corbin Green is transferring to Troy, looking for greater playing opportunities while Devan Cambridge, dealing with injuries over the past two years, is exploring his options in the transfer portal. Cambridge has received interest from several major programs, including North Carolina and Ohio State.
