Re: M. Basketball. LA Tech Faces UAB in Bartow Arena
How about we are soft and need to improve on defense, rebounding, and scoring . It is my fault and I will be working to improve our team. The players deserve better coaching and the fans and our university deserve a better effort from all of us.

I dont give a crap what he tells the media after a game, even when someone wins they'll generally say "We came out, competed well, the other team competed well, but we were able to make the plays to win."
What he tells the media has no bearing on how I feel about the team, nor does it make the team any better for him to tell a news station "we suck."

I want to go back to Frisco--both for basketball and baseball. Just get us to the dang tournament!

I'll donate as usual, but I can't follow this $hit show.
You realize our only returning starter in the field is our 9-hole hitter? Probably gonna be a down season on the diamond, too. This 2017-18 year is disappointing all the way around.

7 of our next 9 games are in Ruston. So our W-L record through mid-Feb should improve greatly.

For some reason beating up the conference bottom dwellers just doesn't do it for me anymore
Re: M. Basketball. LA Tech Faces UAB in Bartow Arena
Since playing Miles College (ya know, that game that was really gonna help us going forward :rolleyes4:), we are 2-8 vs. non-SWAC competition.

Saying "we competed", especially when we really didn't, is coach speak code for, "I don't know WTH to do!"
Saying "we suck" was not meant literally. Saying, "We've got some work to do", "we were weak in.....", something like that. Just acknowledge the problems, don't try to BS the fans.
The fans stopped showing up for football games this year and they have never started showing up for basketball games. They know.

Does anyone know why this changed? I cant imagine the other school's fans are enjoying this either.
Men play 18 conference games this year. Women only play 16 conference games this year. So the schedules can't possibly mirror each other as they have in prior seasons.

Thanks. I had no idea anyone even cared.

That's the format that was voted on for this season. Don't believe Tech was in favor of it.
