The playing status for Texas Tech guard Sidney Love is not known going into Thursday’s women’s college basketball game in Lubbock against Love’s former team, the UTSA Roadrunners.
Love did not play in Monday’s season-opening victory for the Lady Raiders.
Asked about Love’s status for the UTSA game and whether she sat out Monday with an injury, a Tech athletic department spokeswoman said in a text to The JB Replay, “I cannot disclose any injury or playing information for the game.”
The Lady Raiders dominated in Monday’s opener, downing North Carolina A&T 78-40 behind Jalynn Bristow’s 19 points and nine rebounds. Gemma Nunez had 15 points and four assists and Snudda Collins also scored 15.
For the Roadrunners, the defending champions in the American Conference, Thursday’s game in Lubbock at United Supermarkets Arena is the season opener.
UTSA sophomore forward Taylor Ross and freshman forward Sema Udo will sit out the season with injuries, Coach Karen Aston announced Monday in a news release.
Ross was considered one of the top players in San Antonio when she came out of Brennan High School.
She played as a UTSA freshman last year and helped lead the team to an American Conference regular-season championship. She had 50 points, 49 rebounds and 12 blocks.
Udo, the younger sister of UTSA center Idara Udo, was set to her first year of college basketball.
She was twice first-team all district at Plano East and was the team’s MVP in her sophomore and junior seasons.
