Texas Tech Team Capsule
Posted: Wed March 14, 2001 at 8:56 a.m EST Coach: Marsha Sharp (19th year) Nickname: Lady Raiders Record and conference: 23-6, Big 12 Seed, Region and Bid: 2, Mideast, At-large Previous NCAA Tournament Bids: 13 NCAA Tournament Record: 20-12 Final Four Appearances: 1 NCAA Tournament Championships: 1 Best NCAA Tournament Finish: 1993, National Champions Last NCAA Appearance: 2000, lost to Tennessee, 57-44, Regional Finals Starters: F - Plenette Pierson (6-2, So., 14.4 ppg, 7.7 rpg) F - Tanisha Ellison (6-1, Jr., 5.2 ppg, 5.7 rpg) G - Katrisa O'Neal (5-6, Sr., 10.7 ppg, 2.9 rpg) G - Amber Tarr (6-0, Jr., 8.7 ppg, 3.2 rpg) G - Candi White (5-7, Jr., 3.7 ppg, 2.6 rpg) Outlook: The Red Raiders should have no problem getting to the Elite Eight, but would have to go through Tennessee to make the Final Four. But Texas Tech is as deep as any team and has perhaps the best defense in the nation. Getting past Tennessee would only be a minor upset. Katrisa O'Neal may be the best defensive guard in the nation and the duo of Plenette Pierson and Jia Perkins combined for 27 points and 11 rebounds per game.© 2003 SportsTicker Enterprises, LP
