Texas Tech Red Raiders basketball coach Grant McCasland remains unconcerned about his team's early-season shooting difficulties, according to a report from the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal. The Red Raiders have struggled to find offensive rhythm in the opening games of the 2026-27 season, but McCasland expressed confidence that the shooting woes are temporary and part of the normal adjustment period for a developing roster.
McCasland, who took over the program in 2023, emphasized that the team's defensive intensity and rebounding have remained consistent despite the offensive slump. The coach pointed to quality shot selection and good ball movement as indicators that the shooting percentages will improve as players gain more experience together.
Texas Tech's next opportunity to break out of the shooting slump comes in their upcoming home game at United Supermarkets Arena. The Red Raiders enter the contest looking to translate their defensive strengths into offensive production against a conference opponent.
