Thanks for the updates BlindDog. Closer game than I was expecting. Hopefully the Techsters can get some breathing room.

Very sloppy game, but will take the "W" and hope they can clean it up a bit!
New comers look good!
Sloppy game, but a LOT of new players and freshmen. Refs were quick to whistle some charges that were not on the Techsters. Got some cleaning up to do, but this was a game that was going to be tougher than the name "Grambling". They did better than us last year by beating Ole Miss in the WNIT and are a good team. It was sloppy on both sides. Positives were Malone finally coming to life in the second half, Sweets playing solid, and our freshmen.
Don't forget Brooke's style. She always builds a better team as the year progresses. Her Northwestern teams and last year's Techster team improved every game. She will get the new players on the same page. Turnovers have to be slashed, though.
Bottom Line: WE WON! Way to go Techsters!!!!!!!!
Malone has 15 pts in second half to end game with 17..
She had 9 rebounds for game as well, named offensive player of game..
Anthoney had 13
Cleaver had 11pts and 12 rebounds.
Dixon ad 6 assist for game..
Lang had 4 steals for game..
4,811 in attendance for game..
Btw, I'll post the Sagarin for the girls once it becomes available. Usually it takes a while.
KNBB cuts off the post game show before Brook gets to give any remarks about game!
Little dissappointed in that!
It's a win. Don't know how good GSU is this year, but as Champ pointed out, they did beat Ole Miss last year in the WNIT.
Brooke's teams traditionally start kind of slow and get better as the year goes on. Brooke is a teacher. She teaches her players how to properly play the game of basketball. For some of the newcomers, that means having to "unteach" some bad habits those players have. If this year is like the previous seasons, you won't recognize the team that played today....come March.
A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Alexus Malone scored 17 points and Reauna Cleaver added 11 points and 12 rebounds to lead Louisiana Tech to a 64-53 win over Grambling State Friday at the Thomas Assembly Center.
