The 1987–88 Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters basketball team represented Louisiana Tech University during the 1987–88 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The team was led by third–year head coach Leon Barmore, who led the team to a 32–2 record and the 1988 NCAA Division 1 championship.[1] This was the program's third championship of the decade, following an NCAA championship in 1982 and an AIAW championship in 1981. The Lady Techsters played their home games at the Thomas Assembly Center in Ruston, Louisiana as a member of the American South Conference.
The Lady Techsters finished the 1986–87 season 30–3 as an independent. They received a bid to the 1987 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, where they advanced to the championship before falling 67–44 to Tennessee.[2]
