Texas Tech simply had more options than the University of New Mexico women’s basketball team on Sunday.
The Lady Raiders lit things up from the perimeter in the first half, then pounded the ball inside in the second on its way to a 82-75 win over the Lobos in the final day of the Van Chancellor Classic in Katy, Texas.
UNM (5-3) stayed close throughout a frenetic first half, but the Lobos could not stop or match the physical post play of Texas Tech (6-1) in the final 20 minutes.
“We had to make a decision on how to defend them,” Lobos coach Mike Bradbury said in a postgame phone interview.
