A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Two teams with totally different resumes will tip off the season Saturday when Louisiana Tech travels to Madison to face Big Ten foe Wisconsin at 2 p.m. at the Kohl Center.

I think I will sign up for the month at their BTN2Go site so I can watch the game.
Couldn't help but notice this comment by Pumroy: "I think we will really surprise people with how hard we work and the fact everyone has bought into the coach's system."
Why would we find that surprising... unless the team we saw last season had not truly bought in?
I don't think I'm reading too much into what Pumroy has implied.
Last year we had a lot of seniors. Probably was a little difficult for all of them to fully adjust to the new culture. Not that they didn't want to, but change is hard to do, sometimes.
Definitely. Didn't mean to insinuate that there was an attitude problem with last year's seniors. They deserve to always be honored for staying and beginning the rebuild, even when the new emphases didn't suit their natural game.
In their case, "buying in" would have meant not falling back on old habits. Seems I remember Tyler saying something late in the season about "two steps forward and one step back" in describing the 2014-15 team's inability to remember and build on what they'd learned in practice from one game to the next. Recruited for their instinctive play, they were suddenly asked to become analytical. Tough change in any venue.
Don't forget about the freshmen. This is a new system for them to buy into. I think Tyler and Micki are great teachers of the game.
