Good Luck part 4 - Texas Tech Red Raiders - Saturday - 3 pm - ESPN or ESPN 2.

I’d hate to have to go to Morgantown right now. Huggy is fit to be tied. He hasn’t stopped screaming at his guys since Lawrence.
Guess we will see what TTech is made of!
I think we need to win out, including one game in April!
Why should we lose? ALL our guys are improving every game now!
This is exactly what we have been missing for many years. Normally our guys are wearing down now, just trying to hold on. Heck… we are fresh and getting better every day!
-
Yes it does seems different this year. Usually we dominate the regular seasons and then seem to wear down in mid February, injuries small and large accruing.
This year we struggled early, played thin, lost a super frosh, had some bad losses, 3 unthinkably at home even, but now seem to be gathering steam instead of wearing out as March rolls around. I think it bodes really well for us. I too smell a run. I think we’re going to bury TT hard Saturday.
-
@wrwlumpy I believe the recent better play by the team is directly related to your good luck posts!
-
@Barney yes!
-
Graham even got 2 minutes of rest Monday. It felt like an eternity after seeing him play 40 so much this year
-
Wait there’s a game tomorrow? After this scandal filled news day I kind of forgot.
-
@wissox been a rough week with the sport we all love getting dicey and I’ve had to miss a ton of work because my little has Pneumonia.
-
@kjayhawks Pneumonia’s no fun when you watch your kids with it. Trust all will go well.
-
@kjayhawks hope he? is better!
-
TT loses in Motown.
-
I almost forgot, Beard was an assistant to Huggy. Whoa Nellie
-
No sickness is fun forsure, luckily he hasn’t ended up needed to admitted to hospital. Sadly he’s 2 and a half, and we have end up in the hospital the last 2 years for ether influenza or RSV. But we are hopeful he is able to return to daycare Monday.
-
That turf toe type injury is bothersome, and horrible to play through as Beard kept saying during his interview. He won’t hurt it, but can play through it. Which lends to Evans’ dedication on the court.
-
Before the season I actually heard it from the horse’s mouth… that this year we would be focused on preventing wear down as the season progressed. This wasn’t all about being low on depth. But Self knew he would have to count on DG all season for big minutes. He knew DG would have to learn his new leadership role and then once he did, we would become completely reliant on him being on the floor.
Self is constantly looking for areas to up his coaching abilities. It looks like he has made another leap by limiting full-speed practices and even finding ways to reduce wear on his players off-the-court, too.

Damm feel sorry for ya all and your little guy - that stuff bites for sure. - A few years back I started with the flu - -the it progressed from flu to Pneumonia - then from that to the flu with whooping cough- I thought I was going to die. – I had no energy what so ever, it took all I had to just lift my spoon to my mouth one time would wear me out - so for sure know your little one has been suffering. - All I could eat or desire was those little cups of Jello. - sure hopes he recoups soon buddy -just takes time but you know that - wishing the best for ya all - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@wrwlumpy So glad you posted this thank you greatly appreciated. - I just don’t think we will see this kind of line again today.
I know and I think any knowleigble fan knows this is not going to be easy. - that arena is gonna be nuts BUT we have played in many of those fairly regular. - -I think our guys will be looking for redemption - will have their game face on - and no way shoot that kind of percentage again. - Could be wrong Tech is really good defensively always had a hand in our face on our 3 pt attempts 1st time round - I just think gonna be a different out come - well hopefully at least lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Jesse Newell says no way his prediction can be worse than last week where he picked KU by 2. He says we lose by 5 today.
I say bull crap. No way we let Shmeksas Drek sweep us this year. Even against a way better defensive team than BlowU, our new chemistry explodes again and the home team folds under the glare of ESPN Game Day lights. KU by 11.
-
Ok probably just me BUT I’m at my end of seeing - - hearing this same old crap that is as old as the hills and twice as dusty - and that is seeing a poster - or hearing someone say " You’re not in Kansas Anymore "
I am not tired of people fans coming up with things - but this is the best you can do? - -This saying is sooooooo old get something fresh - If you wanting to talk - -then give it a new twist anyways lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Zach smith gonna be back today gonna help them. – ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY
-
Zach Smith returns for tech today…
-
@BeddieKU23 Good player but I think Keenan Evans being right might be more important.
-
Zach Smith, meet Silvio, and enjoy

Definitely Smith hasn’t been needed as much. If Evans is still hobbled it’s a big part of this game
-
Anybody willing to wager that Odiese gets some early favorable calls and takes Doke out of the game - – - watch - see if the officals don’t sit our big fella. - I’d be really surprised if he isn’t on the bench by the 12:00 minute mark in the 1st half - -some home cooking. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 knowing that the refs keep an eye on him, HE HAS TO LEARN to be careful and not commit silly fouls. He’s too valuable to be on the bench.
-
Much more upside than downside to this game. Win…and we clinch a tie. Lose and we still control our own destiny. I did not think we would be in this position a few weeks ago.
-
Wow, that is tough. Justin Gray goes down for TTU.
-
Got to be the largest basketball crowd in Texas Tech history.
-
@wrwlumpy Easily!
-
Hit the boards!
-
Dg great hustle! Great ball movement
-
Focus!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 It appears that this is one of the games where Vick is NOT focused - doesn’t seem to have his head in the game right now…
-
Up by 10, so nice
-
On the other hand, every one else is active and sharing the ball…
-
i think we look exceptional today.
-
Crisp passing. And Bilas is gushing on us
-
Svi with sweet put back
-
@DCHawker he has time to turn it around! Just rebound is all we need!
-

I’m impressed. This is a good TTU defense too.
-
3 on malik
-
Take Nova off the #1 seed line!

Holy crap.
-
Rebounding an issue again arggghhh
-
HI MARCUS
-
Garrett dunk, never saw that
-
Up by 4 at the half, I’m still staying with a win by 11
-
Self upset about the defense and rebounding. Shocker.
