2/6 Tulsa game (Coach Mike WHITE OUT)

[RealityCheck]

Tulsa timeout #5 at :26.8...Tech 64-59

[RealityCheck]

what do our crowd experts estimate as attendance?

Announced was high-4K as I suspected...actually under 4K in the house....way too many empty blue seats to have over half the building full.

Tech timeout #4 still :26.8

[trenteverett]

Announced attendance was 4,935.

Not finishing strong in this one....

Great win Bulldogs!!!

[Bill Brasky]

Wow. That wasn't locked up until 4 sec left

[tigtoo30]

I have to admit, I'm a little to blame. I've been listening to the game, and then down by 9 I finally remember to put on my Tech baseball cap, and as soon as I did, we started the come back.

I promise from here on out, I will be wearing my cap every game.

Faced adversity and got it done. Tulsa plays better than record would indicate.

[HogDawg]

Obviously every win is a good win, but this one tonight against Tulsa is a particularly good win. Lose tonight, and you can stick a fork in us because we would be DONE. But the win tonight against Tulsa --arguably one of our toughest remaining regular season games-- makes all the difference in our regular season.

[Champ967]

Good teams are the ones that can have a off game and still get a win.

All the same, I think I may have used some of my bad words watching at home tonight.

Tech was the 10th Top 100 RPI team Tulsa has played...that team is battle-tested and is maturing...will be a tough out in El Paso.

We've got too many guys not looking at the rim when they are shooting free throws. Instead of looking at the rim, several of our guys look down at the floor --or at the basketball-- right up until they shoot. The first time they see the rim is when the ball is almost in the air.

I can't believe Coach White can't coach 'em out of that problem.

Dude--I noticed the SAME THING! (and, as a white chick who went to a private school, you can just imagine the basketball acumen I possess!)

We were dead in the water with 5 minutes to go in the ball game -

JJ kept us in it and Keyon won it with his 7/8 from the stripe down the line

If we shoot 72% from the stripe we win by 15

I think Coach White is trying to walk a fine line with the FT's - trying to push them enough with extra work on it while at the same time not making it a mental issue - except for Keyon basically everyone was bad at the line tonite

Kyser was HUGE on the floor the last 5 minutes of the ball game - as bad as he played the first 35, he was that good the last 5

We had the looks all night long - counted 4 threes that were in the basket and popped back out

Hamilton was off again tonite - he really struggled with all aspects of his game

Andersen was cold as ice but got several huge put backs

But it was a W and I will take it

My guess was the crowd was just south of 4k - maybe 3,800 but they were LOUD that last 5 minutes

They were really loud, especially on the shot clock violation stretch - as loud as I have ever heard the TAC, even when it was full
