Spoon is still 1 to two years from the team being hers. She still needs a class or two to be really relevant. To me the most disappointing thing about the game tonight was the lack of cheering/noise from the fans. 6000 Tech fans (barely any noise) vs 200 Rutgers fans making alot of noise. The Hoop Troop could also be heard all over the arena. We all make jokes about TX A&M & cheer practice but we sure need it. That really was disappointing. Took away the home court advantage.
Hate the black uniforms. Nothing about them says La Tech. We are still not a very good basketball team. But the fans around us made a lot of noise and the roar when we scored drowned out the few hundred Rutgers fans, until the game got out of hand. Wish I could say wait until next year, but not sure I can.
I totally agree about the black uniforms. They are so ugly. Black is NOT a Tech color! Have they been wearing the black on the road all year? Definitely not the Tech I know and love!!
Good Tech crowd. Just nothing to cheer about.
We had awesome seats! Mid-court, about halfway up. Couldn't have hand-picked better seats. So the good news is, we could see the game very well. The bad news is, we could see the game very well....
Never in it. Out-classed, out-coached, over-matched.
Didn't help that we got ZERO points and output from TK and Whitney Jones. TK cuz she couldn't play, and Jones who fouled out with no points. Little wonder we got hammered.
There is a post in another thread saying that we were quicker and more athletic. That's the biggest rumor since the "Dewey beats Truman" headline in 1948. They were bigger, quicker, faster, more athletic and better shooters.
Since win does a sponsor get to determine school colors? The L.S.U. football team is a walking billboard,but they are smart enough to keep their own colors.
Rutgers was very good. They had more height and the best defence I have seen by a women's team. Moved very well throughout the game on offence. They were better than we are. We did not play as good as we were capable of because they were good enough to keep us off balance for most of the game. And they aren't even close to the best team in the Big East. Just shows how far the game has come and the talent level in todays game. Spoon is moving us up in talent and height. We will be a force in a couple of years.
