Texas Tech coach Kristy Curry had a lot to say to her team at halftime after allowing Kansas to go up 33-21 at the break. Curry felt her message was so important that she kept the Lady Raiders in the locker room longer than usual, preventing them from getting any practice shots before the second half began. Curry’s pep talk was all the warm-up Texas Tech needed, though, as the team erased Kansas’ lead with an 18-4 run and hung on to win 65-61. “The first six minutes of the second half, we didn’t have an answer to their run,” coach Bonnie Henrickson said. “We just didn’t play with the toughness that I thought we did in the first half.” Jon Goering/KANSAN The Jayhawks led by at least eight points for Steve Welmer helps referee the Kansas game against much of the first half thanks to solid three-point Colorado on Saturday.

The Lady Raiders (15-11, 3-9) were incredibly efficient with the Jayhawks’ nine second half turn- overs, scoring 16 points off of them.
