    IF we can hit about 70% of our 3s for the 2, 3, 4 games, whatever we have to play in B'ham, AND!! actually play some defense....we can go dancing! I'll say that right now. But....can we shoot 3s at that pace over a several game span? That's tough, even for a good-shooting team, which we are not, particularly. We beat UTEP by shooting close to 50% from the arc and benefitted from about 15 unforced errors by them. Had UTEP not thrown the ball away so much, they woulda been up 12-15 at the half, and game over. UTEP lost...Tech did not win that game.

    UAB was something like the youngest, or in the top 3 youngest team in the nation last year. Everyone expected them to be VERY good this year. I have not seen them play this year. But had them the clear favorite to win it all, both regular season and the tourney....and having home court is a big help. But, they are the best team in the league. Marshall? MTSU? they are both playing well, but I haven't seen them either. Now that football is over, I will start watching more hoops. By the time March gets here I'll have a pretty clear picture about who's who and who's legit.

    We have to learn how to win on the road. We're 5-5 on the road this season, including the loss to UNT.

    This road trip will show a lot about our team. We are clearly as talented as anyone in the league, but we also lack depth. We have got to go grind out two games on the road to put ourselves in a position to get the regular season championship.

    So, if we beat FAU and UNT, we'd be tied for first with the tie breaker favoring us?

    Pretty good season so far considering what we lost to graduation and to injury. Need to remember that the difference between first and fifth the last few seasons in league play has been a game or two.

    He's saying that had we beaten UNT & FAU we'd be 11-2 with a when over UAB, so we'd have the tiebreaker as it stands right now. Which is correct.

    Having the #1 seed in the C-UAB tournament is very important.

    We need the double bye. I hope we end up on the same side as UAB so we don't have to face the cheaters in the finals.

    Re: Conference Standings Thread

    The losses at FAU (20 point halftime lead) and North Texas (10 point halftime lead) are currently looming large in the standings. Neither loss can easily be explained. It's my belief that we could have won both games if we had played with teamwork and intelligence.

    A Tyler Summit/Lady Techsters fan named BruisedOrange made some good observations about basketball, in general. Following is BruisedOrange's comment made about the Lady Techster's loss to UAB last Saturday night. It fairly well sums up what I've witnessed several times this season in our Bulldogs, including in the first half and early 2nd half of the UAB game.

    Quote Originally Posted by BruisedOrange View Post
    The game was played as if from one of those eras when the defensive game has tactically stymied all offensive schemes. It was the basketball equivalent of World War I trench warfare--the offense just kept throwing itself futiley against an impenitrable wall.

    I saw repeated here something I noticed a few weeks ago at a male high school game (between state contenders). Instead of players passing, moving or dribbling into an open spot to take an unchallenged shot, they passed or dribbled the ball through the open spot until they made contact with the defenders, and then tried to "get off" some kind of shot. At that point, they've ceded all advantages to the defenders. Maybe the idea is to create contact and try to get to the free throw line and put defenders on the bench with fouls. I just don't know, but would love to hear from our forum coaches on the current offensive philosophy.

    All I can say is, I'd certainly prefer our shooting chances from 3 feet further out if relatively open and unchallenged. And I would not relinquish control over my destiny to the vagueries of CUSA referees. If drawing fouls is not one of the goals of this kind of play, then our players just have no feel for anticipating defensive movement and floor spacing. I don't know any other way to explain it.

    Taking the ball into the teeth of the defense was the impetus for many of our turnovers. I don't remember a lot of unforced turnovers. I'd describe them as forced, but with an assist from us.
    In the second half of the UAB game, our offensive strategy changed from individual play to teamwork and intelligence. We played our best basketball of the season in the second half. If we continue to play with teamwork and intelligence, we can win the C-USA tournament. I'm super excited that I will be able to go again this year.

    So far we've shown that we're capable of beating anybody in the conference and, at the same time, losing to anybody in the conference. Is there a chance Davis will be back this season?
