Wow. This group is really maturing as players. The points and rebounds are nice, but the assists and the lack of turnovers are HUGE.

The Dawgs are averaging 8.4 assists per game in WAC play...
The Techsters are averaging 14.7 assists per game in WAC play... 6.3 more assists per game than the men...

TK has vastly improved on the offensive side since last year.

These Lady Techsters are getting better because they are receiving some FANTASTIC coaching.
Which begs the question.....do these kids even realize how fortunate they are to be coached by T-Spoon? Did they even KNOW who T-Spoon was when she joined the program? In other words......do they "get it"???

I would imagine that they do. We have done a much better job in the last few years about making sure our new students know about our great past in athletics. Also, I am sure that TSpoon has busted out plenty of those, "When I was where you are............"

Almost any girl the age of college that is serious about WBB knows very well who Spoon is. One of the most recognizable names in WBB history.
Re: Guards are stepping up BIG!
Guard play has dramatically improved the second half of this season. Guess that's why we are winning. Last year, the previous season, and early this year, the BEST thing you could say was our guard play was "inconsistent" "streaky", the worst you could say: it absolutely sucked!!!!
This is still NOT a good group of guards. Not by national Top 15 standards, it is not. It's good enough...and they are playing much better....by WAC standards. But, that is not the measuring stick I ever want to use for the Techsters.
It is, what it is. For now, I wanna see both a regular season and tourney WAC championship and a frickin' 1st Round win in the Dance!!!! I'll worry about the 2nd Round after the 1st is done...
Through it all:
Love dem Techsters!
Re: Guards are stepping up BIG!
Can someone tell me what happened with Whitney and her family? I'm out of the loop.

All they stated was a death in her family - no details. Since she was in S. Louisiana and she is from Monroe, it must have been a relative - not parents.

For one of those full years, she had an injury and I think we are appealing the year, because she didn't play enough to qualify.
