West Virginia and Texas Tech meet for the 15th time on Wednesday. All 14 prior meetings have been as part of Big 12 play as the series dates back to the 2012-13 season when WVU joined the Big 12. The Mountaineers are 9-5 all-time against the Red Raiders and are 3-3 in Lubbock. WVU has won four straight over TTU.

Davenport was the only other play in double figures as she put up 14 points while freshman forward Kari Niblack had a team-best nine rebounds and three blocks.
Under first-year coach Marlene Stollings, Texas Tech has put together an 11-12 record overall and a 2-10 mark in Big 12 play coming off a 90-78 win over Oklahoma State at home on Saturday. The Lady Raiders enter Wednesday's game averaging 71.6 points per game and 45.4 rebounds per game while shooting 41 percent from the field, 28.9 percent from the perimeter and 61.5 percent at the free-throw line.
