Our opponents used to be afraid of playing us. With the rare exception of Tenn's and UCONN's, most teams feared playing the Techsters, and for MANY years, even THOSE TWO had to think twice before stepping on the same court.
The other teams KNEW the Techsters would bring it, every game, even with sometimes inferior talent.
What I think Spoon has done, more than anything else, is bring back the "fear factor" at least within the WAC. Give her time, and I think she'll bring it back to the top 25 as well.
Fear the Spoon. It's Techster time.
