One of the toughest things to do is sweeping a good team in their house, in a last regular season game with not a whole lot on the line for you. Would love to be wrong on this one!

At Texas Tech is always a concern, never know when they will turn bad.
Our players and coaches may need some body shields, hope they've hired some extra protection.

I feel fine, but there's nothing to play for except maybe moving up in the NCAA seeding. Tech at home. I think we may be flat coming out.

I think our team is gelling at the right time and I feel good about our performance tonight. We are 2 wins away from locking up a 2 Seed.

Miami @ Florida State not over yet. Our game will likely start somewhere else.

That was a ridiculous call on Missi. When you can jump backward into a defender and get a foul call, there's something wrong.

Another horrible start. If we lose early in the NCAA tournament, that will likely be why. We are just a really poor starting team.

We're a great second-half team, but you can't put yourself in a hole every damn game.

We need to change our pregame music... whatever we play puts us to sleep.

Deep holes in Waco are one thing, in a place like Lubbock, much different.

Early on playing like the game started at 5 AM and we're still asleep.

Not sure. This team seems to need an early punch to the mouth to find its footing. It's really frustrating because it makes every game more difficult than it needs to be.

Double-digit holes are a problem anywhere. But they're certainly more difficult to climb out of on the road.

Two third-chance buckets already. We don't look like we're particularly interested in competing in the early going.

Solid response. Got it back to seven. Play defense and rebound.

Two fouls already on Missi. That's not good.
