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.

I spoke with Audi Crooks about the belief she has in herself in year 2 with Iowa State.

Crooks continues to show why she is one of the most dominant players in the country averaging 21.7 ppg. Cyclones have a major test on Thanksgiving against South Carolina.

The game of the day right here. I've been patiently waiting for this matchup since the start of the season... a real test for this high powered TCU team led by HVL, Prince, & Conner.

TCU has all of the potential in the world to break into the Top 25 rankings.
