  3. Alpha Dog Madi indeed.

    Madison and Jones played 25 and 24 minutes due to foul trouble. Madi made 10 for 10 on FTs and Jones scored 19 points in 24 minutes.

    Moore was injured and played 2 minutes and Hadi has scompered.

    Amina was making me insane last night. She got absolutely smoked on D a number of times, shot 4 for 9 on free throws, and got in her 1 traveling call per game.

    But, she kept us in the game shooting 6 for 8 from the field, scoring 15 points and pulling down 15 boards - 10 offensive. Her rebounding kept us in the game.

    Gerlich, who played for Texas Tech, and Schaefer both said they'd be open to playing in the future.

    The administration already said they wouldn't go back to Lubbock due to past serious safety concerns.

    If we need to beef up our noncon schedule in the future we might play a B12 team, but it won't be Tech.  Tech can wither and die, no one would notice.

    Vic is very, very upset.   May be gamemanship to get team's attention for the stretch run and postseason.   (excerpts, long article)

     

    That's not how we practice or prepare. It really bothers me. In my mind, we didn't earn the victory tonight. I thought Texas Tech really took the fight to us and Coach (Krista) Gerlach and her team are to be commended for that."

    That doesn't make it any easier, y'all. We're lucky, we won the game. I'm hopeful my kids will learn from it. But when you have worked all year to put yourself in this position with four to go, you have four championship games. Now we have three and that's what you're going to bring to the table?

    Gerlich, who played for Texas Tech, and Schaefer both said they'd be open to playing in the future.

    Thanks for pulling the quotes for us. Much appreciated.

    My point being—I like what I’m seeing out of McCasland at tech right now.

    McCasland's long-term career record justified his move to a better position. RT's long-term career record justified him being a fine assistant somewhere.

    Empirical evidence might be able to guide you to potential outcomes....

    “sucking at Fresno st and utep” doesn’t mean as much when just about everyone else has sucked there

    About par at Fresno, only worse coach at UTEP was the interim coach.
