UT makes tourney push

? Brittainey Raven scored 22 points, and Texas beat Texas Tech, 70-55, Wednesday for its third straight victory.

Texas (19-11, 7-9), finished with a losing record in conference play, but the winning streak and a win or two in next week’s Big 12 tournament could be enough to make an NCAA Tournament push.

Keisha Walker scored 14 points to lead Tech (16-14, 4-12), which avoided a second consecutive losing season overall, but set a school record for most losses in the Big 12.

Texas’ last loss was a lackluster effort at home against Texas A&M that seemed to all but end its chances of returning to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in three years.
