Anybody besides me going to the game(s) this week? Here's to hoping the good play (and W's) continue.
Interesting to see how we handle North Texas -
It's been a death trap for us lately in Denton
The wife and I will make the Rice game since it is here in Houston.
We planned to drive over Friday to see my Ft. Worth daughter and attend the Friday and Saturday baseball games. We were listening to the post game on the way home Saturday night and my wife said, "We could just go over Thursday to watch the basketball game in Denton."
Gotta love that!
i am planning to be at the rice game with my family. we try to make it every year.
I'll be at the UNT game again. The last two years in Denton we've been ridiculously hosed by the officials. Ticky-tack touch fouls when we're on defense and muggings with no foul called when we take the ball inside on offense.
It appears PawDawg is a master at laying out the evidence for the obvious solution. Low and behold, it is her suggestion and he comes off as the guy who says "Well I guess so if that is what you want!"Quote:

Thanks! If only I could take advantage of the opportunity. Just can't work it out. It will be baseball Friday and Saturday with some (very light) shopping in between.Quote:

Oh shoot....but, let's stay focused. One game at a time.
Nobody wake me up.Quote:

Dawg80, not complaining but I prefer "Tech Family" to "Tech Nation".
Tech is shooting pricks in Denton, 32% so far - 20-26 with 6min to go in the 1st half
Tech always seems to have problems playing at North Texas. I'm listening to the game and North Texas is up 29-22. How do they turn into super stars when we play there.
Good run by tech - 32-32 with 20s to go
They played us tough at the TAC this year without their big men even playing. Is he playing tonight?
Did we start driving to the basket?
yes, re big
IMO, not playing coaches game. We have the talent, but there is a lot of street ball being played right now.
they played us tough in Ruston in the first half - we blew them away in the 2nd half if I remember correctly
Your memory serves you well.Quote:

Didn't their other tall guy twist his ankle and then we wore them out inside
In Ruston.Quote:

Great second half 83-58. Nice to see Jean getting some points.
Safe to say that Joniah White is dominating the post...
5 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 blocks!
And he's a soph, correct?!!!Quote:

Generally don't see 27 point road blowouts with 4 minutes left. UNT was laughable at handling the zone.
Yep red-shirt SophQuote:

And of course we COMPLETELY DESTROYED THEM INSIDE in the second half.
^^Truth. Much better ball movement in 2nd half. It was like watching a different team.Quote:

Road wins in person never get old. Nice showing by 2-3 dozen Tech fans, though it helps that about 1/3 of the roster is from this area. On to Houston...
Good win, locked up 2nd
Sure beats last two trips to the Super Pit
Rice is ahead of uab, be nice if we could knock them off and uab could move up to the other side of the bracket with mtsu. Looks like Marshall will likely be on our side of the bracket, not sure if that is better than uab or not. A tight race from 3-7 in cusa standings.
I think we want to avoid UAB at all cost.Quote:

It will be great if MTSU, UAB, and UTEP are on the same bracket.
Our team should be good enough to beat anyone else on neutral court.
Should, but we did lose to UTSA on our home court...Quote:

I would say that they have already over come TWO big obstacles this year already -Quote:

Take into account the defections after the end of last year and I think this team has shown its mental mettle...
I just hope everyone took care of business in the classroom
Or paying to lose in the first round of a pay to play... :(Quote:

And the La Tech X app ain't working. Listening on the tv's radio. That is until the feed disappeared.
Sherman with the 'And 1', Dawgs have their biggest lead by 6. 39-33
Followed by a threeeeeee. 42-33
Audio back on 107.5 FM.
Dawgs trail 47-49. Absolutely no defense being played in this game.
49-48 Rice at the half.
Now it's time for some coaching! GO DAWGS!!!
It's an offensive free-for-all. But Tech tends to buckle down in the second half. Unlike Mike White, Konkle will adapt.
Damn......this score is as bad as an NBA All-Star game. And we all know how much defense gets played in those. :rolleyes:
Boykin has had to sit out a while in the first half having gotten 2 fouls. He'll be back defending the perimeter and that will help, providing he can stay out of foul trouble.
Watched White at Kentucky today, many missed 3s at the end.Quote:

Looks like McCree is going to be content to just hang out at the 3-point line again on offense. Even the announcers are saying they've noticed that McCree doesn't want to use his size inside.
:(
Tech trails by 4. 52-56
58 58
Both teams a little sloppy right now
Damn. White & Sherman both have 3 fouls. McCree may have to move inside. Maybe Wash or Harris can step in/up
65 - 64 dawgs
Damn damn. Joniah has 4 fouls.
Rice fans throwing stuff???
Rice fan ejected! No 4 of them!
Rice's game announcers are saying it is a former Rice baseball player being ejected. But Joniah White gets the technical and foul out. Plus Rice gets the ball too.
We're getting a hose job.
Bullshit call on Joniah. Fans throwing stuff ; 6 ejected. Joniah gets a technical & out?! BS!
We're getting hose by officials. How are we only down by 3
Since the technical Rice has taken a 5 point lead.
73 - 70 rice
Per the Rice announcers they texted former Rice baseball player Jimmy Camarado. Camarado alledges that Joniah White for no reason threw water on him and he had to leave. None of it was visible on CUSA.TV.
Not a chance that Joniah did any such thing.
4:04 Dawgs down by 4
No way Joniah did that
Stay cool Dawgs.
Basketball experts - does this loss really matter?
We've locked the 2 seed. So what's it matter?
Hose job....Rice will probably win this one. weird calls all night. McCree turns it over again!
Not an expert by any means. But it doesn't beyond we're fighting Rice, their fan & the officials.
Sloppy game by the dawgs - way many turnovers
Reminds me of the UAB game. Regardless of what the Rice fan did we've completely lost our composure since the technical and it is going to cost us another L. You can see the frustration on our players' faces.
Will take a miracle
