W. Basketball. UTEP Slips by @LATechWBB, 86-80

[champion110]

HUGE HUGE HUGE game tomorrow......... UTEP is 17-1 and undefeated in conference. They have votes in both polls and one could easily argue that they should already be in the top 25.

Despite that Southern Miss gave them a good game last night. If we play like we did against Southern Miss, we really CAN beat them. If we play like we did last night, we will have a big problem. I hope we can add on to this winning streak and take them on their home court. It would be a major feather in our hat!

They beat Southern Miss last night 72-64. They should have a nice crowd there, as well, so we need to "play up"!

A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:

Louisiana Tech head coach Tyler Summitt will find out a lot about his Lady Techster team Saturday afternoon when they travel to the Don Haskins Center to face Conference USA leader UTEP at 3 p.m. CT.

This will be a tough game. I think we can win but I won't worry about it too much because UTEP will win the conference barring an act of God.

The 4 top teams play today. WKU vs. MTSU and Lady Techsters vs. UTEP.

UTEP and WKU are way ahead of the pack, but IF we were to pull an upset........ All bets are off as we start to close the gap.

WKU and UTEP are undefeated in conference.

The race REALLY starts to tighten at the top, if both us and MTSU win today. If that happens, we will have a WKU and UTEP with one loss and the Techsters and MTSU with 2 losses. VERY tight race......... UTEP and WKU are still going to be really tough to beat, though.

they need to correct that we are 5-2 not 5-3

You are correct, Phil! That changes my analysis on the other thread too.

They have it correct, if you click on the "extended".

Well....maybe....they already factored in today's game.

Hey! don't get mad at me.

The Techsters will surprise everyone and pull an upset.

Tyler needs to get in the heads of all the players. Everyone has to contribute. We need a game with at least 5 players in double figures.

We need a game like we had against Southern Miss. All out effort from every single player!

I'm sitting here 2,000 miles away and nervous as a cat. Hope our girls are chilling out in their pre-game rituals and are ready to win.
