A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
It has been 26 years since the Louisiana Tech men's basketball team played in the renowned Carrier Dome in Syracuse, N.Y.
More...
Discuss it here.
Nationally televised game in less than 12 hours and this makes the 2nd post.
Think we can ever reach our "basketball potential"?
I will be watching from home.
I am ready now!!!!!!!!! GO DAWGS!
Gonna be tough! Go Dawgs!!
5 Things to Watch for as Syracuse Basketball Hosts Louisiana Tech
http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasket..._as_syrac.html
Tech's RPI schedule strength is #349 out of the 351 Division I schools. At least that will change after today.
349th....? worse than I thought. Sheeeesh!
Well, the Dawgs will get a boost today, not just by playing 'cuse, but beating them. Yes, the Dawgs will win today!!!
A game on a network other than the "supposed to be covered but not really" channel. I love it. Will be watching!
Go Dawgs!!
I had a flight scheduled to go to the game; but had to cancel the trip on Friday. Hopefully I can watch the dawgs beat the cuse on tv instead of in person. Go Dawgs!
Except that there haven't been any of those. The ULL game was never "supposed to be covered", period.Quote:

I was referring more to the complaints about football. Seems like many games were supposed to be covered and weren't. Or at least they weren't covered where we could see it.Quote:

Only the UAB game, and that was predictable a week in advance.Quote:

Dang, we are fighting hard! Gonna take some bounces going our way today.
13-17 11:35 1st
Dave is back on broadcast equipment after losing a couple more minutes of the game.
We are playing okay. Need to rotate better on defense.
Way too sloppy on offense...
And won't beat a zone without hitting a few from outside...0-6 from 3 won't get it done.
16-23 7:48 1st
McCree keeps clanging 3 point misses. :(
We have to knock down an outside shot some time. We won't get a rebound, so we have to get some makes.
Only way we keep it close is to get their bigs in foul trouble.
This team can't shoot worth a crap.Quote:

Thank you Raheem!!
6:39 left in the first half and we finally made a 3 pointer.
McCree is sucking right now.
Feed Appleby!!
X man!!
24-27 3:59 1st
Wish I could see a replay. Was that a clean block?
Yep. Gotta keep feeding the guy that can shoot.Quote:

2 on big man!
Good foul in the 2nd half when you need to make them...not in the first half.Quote:

31-32 HALF
Would have been nice to take the lead into halftime.
Hit the free throws and we're up at the half

I do like our half-court offense. SU playing a tough zone and we're attacking it. We're using OFF THE BALL SCREENS which I have been screaming for since Russo was coaching here. Gotta hit shots. Don't be in such a rush once settled into the half-court offense. Look for a good shot.
Overall we are right there. Now....the first 5 mins of the 2nd half is huge. Need a good start.
Free throws.Quote:

Syracuse is tough out on the perimeter......they are not gonna let us shoot threes unless we move the ball around a lot and make them chase it for about 20-25 seconds. Then our guys can likely find an open space to take a three.
Point is, we can't rush the threes. Gotta make the 'Cuse chase the ball for a while first.
Even though Syracuse is not top 10-15 like most years, they are still tough. We are showing what we are capable of.
I predict Boheim will start forcing the ball down low to Christmas. It's about to get physical.
And Kyser immediately gets his 3rd...that's why foul late in the 1st was a dumb one.
Yep, Christmas is a monster.Quote:

It appears to be his knee.
Good defense!
Dammit mccree!!!
Sloppy!!!!
Syracuse is just going to shoot until they make it.
We are lost without Speedy. No ball movement.
33-39 15:55 2nd
they getting mugged on the glass. McCree's shot looked like it was on way down IMO which should have been goal tending.
Thank the good lord tha Speedy is back!
Edwards drew a foul. Speedy needs to take it easy. A win is big, his health is bigger. I know he is going to go 100% no matter what because he is built that way, but gee!!
Unwillingness to even attempt to rebound will be the reason this team misses the dance again.
Getting very physical now.....ACC physical......
Don't know why we aren't passing the ball around the perimeter MUCH faster than we are......right now we seem very slow and hesitant offensively.

Not when it was never going to get to the rim.Quote:

Edwards is Gibby!
Have to finish with point-blank chances.
Unless we improve tremendously over the course of the season, we are no where close to tourney team.
Edwards is playing horrible. Why is he out there?
Did not know that whether or not it will get to rim has a factor in it....Hard for me to tell since it was goal tended.Quote:

Unreal!!!
No traveling call???
I have to agree...5 or 6 C-USA losses is where this team is headed without MAJOR improvement.Quote:

Does McCree ever pass the ball?
Also, Edwards giving it all against a good player.
Nice 3-point opportunity by Edwards
Where's Appleby???
We are playing so good on defense. If we could make a shot we would be winning this game.
That's 3 on Xmas
39 - 43 Syracuce. 12:32
Edwards is playing better wih more time on the floor.
Another rebound by Edwards.
Kyser kills us with 2-3 cheap fouls every big game.Quote:

The good news is......it's still only a 4-point game, w/Xmas going to the line. We could still pull this off.
I thought Kyser's last foul should have been called on McCree instead....or maybe both fouled the guy.
