The Morning Stake | 2023.11.01

It’s a light day for news, other than the soccer team being in action. I’ll have a full preview tomorrow morning that I’m trying to work on as I type.

Texas Tech will take on Texas in Austin in the semis of the Big 12 Championship, game is set for a 4:30 first-touch.

MATCHUP: No. 4 Texas Tech (15-0-4) vs. RV Texas (13-4-2)
DATE: Wednesday, November 1
TIME: 4:30 p.m.
LOCATION: Mike Myers Stadium and Soccer Field
WATCH: ESPN+

With a win here, Texas Tech will be in the Big 12 Championship game. And even if Texas Tech takes a loss, at this point, these ladies are playing for seeding in the NCAA Tournament, having moved up to No. 4 in the nation in the coaches poll yesterday.

Some recruiting things. Red Raider Sports’ Ben Golan tracks each commit in the 2024 class and their stats thus far. And from last week, Red Raider Sports’ Julio Gonzales, Jr. has his recruiting Six-Pack where he details some recruiting news, including a commit from Tyler Murray and offensive lineman from Brandeis in San Antonio.

Dennis Wilburn was named as a Bulsworth Trophy nominee, which goes to the best player that was a former walk-on. Congrats!

Remember when we looked at the public bets yesterday and I noted that originally 85% of the bets were on TCU? Well, that number has flipped and Texas Tech now has 57% of the public bets.
