LA Tech Takes Down MSU in Starkville

[techman05]

Great shooting the 3 ball. Pretty goo rebounding night. I think this is year 8 or maybe 10 of us not being able to shoot even 70% on Free Throws. A few more conversions at the line puts this game away much earlier.

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



The score was tied 11 times in a classic dog fight, but it was Louisiana Tech who made the winning plays down the stretch to take down Mississippi State, 74-67, on Thursday night in front of 6,375 inside Humphrey Coliseum.

we have a LOT of talent. we have a VERY talented head coach; seriously, he knows the x’s and O’s. PLEASE, just turn them loose. he needs to to keep his commitment and get after it.

Quality road win. Now, need the same effort Sunday and keep this ball rolling.

i rewatched the game this morning. obviously shot lights out from 3, but there was a consistent effort at a full court press. i would rate it an 8 and that was without X or JP. this team may be as athletic as any team in the country. Turn it up to 11 and i don’t care how mild our coach is.

This is a bold statement. Crawford may be our best freshman since Godbolt... how did we get that guy so late? watching him develop is probably enough to keep me coming back.

I know Paul wasn't very developed offensively as a freshman, but he did lead the nation in rebounding. Saying any freshman is better than him is really saying something.

Plus, you gotta love the rec specs!

I was impressed with Ledoux's effort on both sides of the court. It was a lot of fun to watch.

I loved the pressure. It didn't create a lot of turnovers, but it did force State to use the clock and force shots (They still shot 48% I think).

Good pelt to hang on the wall....

Something that Holtz has never done -

I applaud Mo Mu’s play. There may not always be the stats with him, but his effort/hussle make some good things happen.

Just kidding. I love his effort, especially on the offensive boards.

G was special too. crawford just appears to have a complete game already, with the exception of free throw shooting.

After watching, I totally agree with your first statement. Maybe he just needed this recruited bench strength to finally pull this off. He can turn them lose later in the season as they continue to mature and jell as a team.

Man, I missed it. Was meaning to check the schedule and forgot.

I got 4,873 emails from Tech last week about discounts and sales on clothes and gear, but nada about the game.

Great win!
