LeDoux back with the team but not starting tonight.
Bass is in the transfer portal.
Cold shooting start. Down 7-6 at the first TV timeout.
Up 13-12 due to USM turnovers. Missing way too many wide open shots. LeDoux in and the mustard came straight off the hot dog with a turnover trying a play that wasn't there.
Down 24-22 at the 7:15 timeout with a USM FT to come. Tech not stopping USM much unless it forces a turnover. Tech now 2-9 from 3-point range, have to do better than that.
Tied at 37 at halftime after a bonehead defensive play (ignoring a backdoor cut) and a sloppy inbounds pass. Archibald hits a 3 with just under a second left to salvage the tie.
Need to play much better in the second half to take this one.
Tech up 56-50 at the under 12 TV timeout. Close to opening up a nice lead but still not finishing enough plays.
Lead extended to 63-50 but it could be more. Still missing too many shots that should be made.
Tech takes a 13 pt lead with 9.08 to play.
68-50 now. This one could be close to over already if Tech had just hit another couple of shots in this run.
Tech has a comfortable 68-50 lead, with 7:36 left. I would like to see us quit taking so many 3 pointers. We’re killing ‘em inside. Let’s just continue working the ball down low for the easy baskets.
5 minutes left. No need to get in too big a hurry.
Turnover and then an early missed 3-pointer. Plays like that will keep USM in it.
Lead should be around 20 and it is down to 16 with another bad turnover.
Especially when Pierre hits the 3 for USM on the other end. A 6 point turnaround. All because we’re getting cute.Originally Posted by FriscoDawg
LeDoux has a bad case of, “I’ve got to shoot it as soon as I touch it”. Dude can’t just play smart basketball.
Nice road second half for Tech in this one.
If he was hot all the time, I could understand. Problem is he just thinks he's hot all the time.
He needs to let the game come to him more instead of forcing too much.
76-63 final score that flatters USM. The second half was not that close.
UTSA beats UTEP 86-79 in San Antonio. UAB at Middle Tennessee next on CBSSN.
Indeed he (LeDoux) does. Especially with 20 seconds left on the shot clock, with Tech trying to protect a lead on the road with only 3 min left.
I thought our big guys looked really good in the 2nd half. They dominated the 2nd half.
