http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...-tech/2756799/ The first word: Louisiana Tech enjoyed a season decorated with 27 wins, a share of the regular-season conference championship and the team's first ranking in the top 25 poll in more than 28 years.
Yet one accomplishment was clearly missing: the NCAA tournament.
The Bulldogs' promising season derailed in the home stretch. They lost four of their final five games, including a stunning upset to Texas-San Antonio in the opening round of the Western Athletic Conference tournament that all but destroyed any storybook endings.
