    i have concluded that keaston willis is a basketball player (not just a three-point shooter).

    The early schedule has been extremely favorable. And, no return trip to WKU??? Wow! But we play twice vs. UNT and UAB. Rice looks tough and very capable of beating us, especially at their place.

    Yep! the homestand coming up is HUGE! HUGER! HUGEST!

    I think Rice and UAB are going to be the toughest tests for us. No more slow starts, which seems to be out biggest problem. I could see us splitting with those two. UNT is not far behind. I do think we are the best in the conference, though. Just have to show it from the opening tip and not let our guard down on the games that we SHOULD win...

    Nice problem to have
    I agree Tech has a lot of talent up and down the bench this year. Hopefully there will always be at least one or two players who will have a hot hand each game - doesn't have to be the same one each game. I'm sure Junior would love to get a double-double every night, but getting him to buy into feeding the open man whenever he is double and triple-teamed will go a long way to having a successful season for the team. Thankfully Junior is a great passer (most of the time - makes me wonder how often he practices the behind the back thru the legs pass). You can tell the team has been working on plays to run whenever Junior is double and triple-teamed.

    Maybe it was because the camera focused on Konkol more during the game, but it seemed to me he spent more time coaching up individual players during the game than usual.

    The last three years it's been interesting to see the evolution of his interaction with his team both on the floor and on the bench during the game over his first few years here - it doesn't matter whether its a tight game or a blow out

    He is not afraid to get their attention but he is also quick to really praise them -

    It's pretty evident these guys are playing for HIM and by into his system

    Coaching players up during a game is needed with this bunch being as young as it is overall.

    They can make a great play on one possession but just as quickly make a bonehead play on the next. Junior's attempted between-the-legs bounce-pass fell into the bonehead category.

    Beat USM Sunday and six days to promote the UAB game at 3:00, Saturday, January 22, 2022. There is no excuse to not have four or five thousand at the game and anything over 3K gets very loud. I am telling everyone about it and you should do the same. This is one of biggest home games in quite a while. What is Tech doing to get butts in the seats!!!

    Very happy to see Willis finally heating up. From scoring only 4 pts at UTEP & 3 pts at UTSA last week, to scoring 21 last night.

    And what's going on with Junior? In the last 3 games, he's scored 11 pts (at UTEP), 12 pts (at UTSA) and then only 7 last night.

    The wins are happening, and that's what matters. But this team is very unpredictable. Maybe that the way Konkol prefers it?

    Forget Rice. The Owls lost to UNT, 75-43. That's a butt whooping there. So, it's UNT that's got a box of "whoop azz" waiting for us if we don't play well. UAB and UNT. It's all about beating those two twice now.

    Over the last 4 games, LA Tech has scored 21 pts (vs WKU), 25 pts (vs UTEP), 26 pts (vs UTSA) & 31 pts (vs USM) in the FIRST HALF of those 4 games. Tech can't do that against top tier competition like UAB and UNT and expect to win. We'll get run out of the building. Tech has gotta play two full halves to beat UAB & UNT.

    I think Junior is fine. He only took 6 shots, making 3 of them, but he also had 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 block, and 2 steals. There are a lot of reasons he won't be able to score a lot of points each and every game. Teams that decide "Junior is not going to beat us" and double and triple team him are going to be able to keep his points down. Also teams that are good at shutting down passing lanes to him are going to cut into his points production. In those cases, you realize we are going to have to get points a different way. I know it is a worn out cliché, but you take what the other team gives you. This year Tech is certainly not a one trick pony.

    You are correct. Didn't Rice beat UAB, though? That is what I was basing my post on, but UNT owned them.

    I absolutely LOVED seeing Jr. cheer on other players scoring and all the assists. He is an unselfish player and that means that he isn't always going to score in bunches. Double and triple him, though, and we have some big time weapons that he can get it to. I like how we are spreading it around and finding out who is hot that day. Jr. did a great job of that from the inside out and didn't seem concerned to not get his double double.

    I could be wrong about this, but didn't Rice have a bunch of players out in that UNT game?

    Maybe not, but I thought I read that somewhere.
