Didn't do anything yesterday because the team flight was fogged in at Monroe yesterday morning. Missed the connection at Houston, so the team arrived over seven hours later than scheduled.
Watching UAB at SLU now on Bally Sports Midwest. Blazers down 4 early in the 2nd half.
A new article has been posted on www.latechsports.com:
Kenneth Lofton, Jr. recorded a game-high 31 points and 14 rebounds and Louisiana Tech went a perfect 13-of-13 from the foul line, including four big ones in the final 10 seconds, to come away with a 78-75 victory over Santa Clara on Saturday afternoon inside the Leavey Center.

UAB wins 77-72 at St. Louis.
Ertel was big down the stretch for the Blazers.
Does Konkol get the credit for when we make our free throws, or just the blame for when we miss them?
Have you considered those Dogs?
That was an unbelievable game! Edge of my seat (in front of the computer ) the whole second half! Way to go DAWGS!!!!!!
You get good results when a team hits FTs at a high %, and usually lose when you don't. Whether Konkol has emphasized FT shooting in practice or the players have taken it upon themselves to improve, or! they are just hot right now, you can see the results of hitting your FTs. Which some of us have been screaming about.
Hitting 84% as a team is very good. If we keep that up the rest of the way (and that will be an accomplishment if it were to happen) then some very good things will open up for this team.
