Under the leadership of head coach Gerry Glasco, the program has been quick to make an impact in recruiting, successfully signing nine of the ten transfers brought to campus for the upcoming season.

The Lady Raiders finished with a 29-21 overall record in 2023 and an 8-16 conference record in the Big 12. Texas Tech will definitely look to improve upon its conference record as it competes against the new members of the conference. Both Texas and the defending champion Oklahoma Sooners departed for the SEC at the end of last season.
