In the buildup to the Las Vegas Classic, Texas Tech catcher Dylan Maxcey made his goal clear for the Red Raiders’ rivalry matchup with Texas baseball. “I think all of us are super excited for that,” he told reporters this week.

Kansas basketball had some momentum again, after a pair of Big 12 wins. But there was a bigger test awaiting the Jayhawks on Saturday vs Texas Tech.

Kansas forward Rylan Griffen credited KU’s “0-0” mentality with helping secure two straight wins. The Jayhawks look to extend their streak to three vs. No. 10 Texas Tech. It won’t be easy. While Texas Tech isn’t the biggest team, the Red Raiders are elite on both ends (top 30 in offensive and defensive efficiency).

The Aggies (18-2) fell behind 3-0 in the first inning as Mihyia Davis led off the game with a triple and Hailey Toney drove her in after reaching on an error. Lauren Allred then smacked a ball out of the park to give Tech the lead.

The game is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. EST and will be broadcast on ESPN.
