I'll stand by this. You guys can dog me if I end up way off, but I do think Tech is becoming more confident and therefore more dangerous. I am talking about what I believe might happen, not what has happened, so, of course I may be wrong. Still there it is, my gut feeling.
Chibears2 I didn't mean to be dogging you. I was just being funny. I actually agree with you. I think Tech has made some improvement under their new coach. If they could manage to win at least 4 more games they might actually get a tourney bid. Although their ooc record will probably be held against them as they played the weakest of all schedules. I figured after they walloped OSU last week they would beat KSST tonight. But no they are just as bi-polar as TX. They have the dubious honor of being the only team in conference that KU has beat. That's pretty sad.
Keep you're eye on their upcoming game at home with TX. That could be interesting.
Didn't think you were dogging me...yet.
Just figured that would be coming if I end up missing on this. I like to be right, but I don't HAVE to be right all the time (which is good, 'cause I'm not...). What I had in mind when I said watch out for Tech is that they looked confident on their home court shooting lights out against OU in that blowout. And I know OU isn't good this year, but I watched that game, and they could have beaten a lot of teams that day. Now, it's easier to have a game like that on your home court where one is familiar with lighting, site lines, etc., but the confidence from a game like that travels.
I just think by conference tourney time, they could mess up someone's fun. I also see our conference game there as a dangerous game for us, if they hit three's like they did in OU game and the refs let them defend our posts overly physical without calling it, and/or we get in foul trouble. The team has to take that game seriously and I know Coach will prepare them, but those players can't just forget the history of how bad Tech has been.
Anyway, I get most don't share my gut feeling and that's okay with me...it's all good!
