Texas Tech lost a heartbreaker to Stanford and fell to 1-4.

The Raiders had their chances. Down two points in the final seconds, LaToya Davis went to the line to shoot two. She missed the first. She then missed the second intentionally, and miraculously, Erin Grant got a back-door rebound and was fouled while shooting.

Grant, an excellent free throw shooter, went to the line for two. But she also missed the first, ending Tech's hope.

"This loss definitely hurts a lot because I had a chance to step up at the end and missed two big free throws," said Davis. "I think Erin feels the same way. It's real disappointing when seniors like us can't step up and finish the job."

Wiggins, Smith, and Newlin all played well for the Cardinal, especially in the second half. Coach TV, however, wasn't thrilled with the performance overall. "I don't think it was an "A' game for either team," she said. "It was kind of one of those heavyweight battles, it was a little bit ugly but a great early-season game."

The Raiders are off to their worst start in 27 years. Fans fret.
