If off rebounds are like turnovers we have 20 turnovers and outscored by 21 from three.

Well a defensive game favors us but a defensive sloppy game IDK.

We are 89-24 in Big Monday games and 49-1 at Allen. 38-0 under Bill. So 40-24 away.

The BYU game was a great win for this years team. Thanks but success comes with a price and if we win against TTU it means we will need to win against Zona at least one and Houston. We are here and deserve it. That will mean just three possible games in the conference tourney we don't need to win the tourney and i'm just being a mother hen.

We didn't get up by 20 at the half just because of DP. Saunders didn't just fall out of a tree in the second. 24 in a half is a fluke and probably made him some money later

How do they work it when he starts the second half and goes more than 5 minutes or more, How do they call him off? It's a little to pat to say he'll go as close to five minutes and then Bill you will pull him. I can't see Self doing this and living with it.

This has all the markings of a very tight game. My calculations show this 85-83 Tech. Tech averaging 88.6 over last five and KU averaging 83. Tech allowing 77 over last five and KU 67.6. Tech beat Houston and BYU and KU beat ISU and BYU. We are playing our best on Offense now but TTU will score early from the top from Anderson and often from Toppin on floaters. We need to answer from the start and don't get buried. Getting 10 threes efficiently and we are in it all game. Toppin is the hardest working player I've watched this year. He is fast on the run and hustles endlessly and averages about 37 minutes. Anderson also plays that many minutes. We can count on Jamari to play hard and hit a couple of threes. Elmarko is questionable and I replayed the tripping call with Dybantsa and Elmarko clipped his knee on AJ's leg. Bill thinks it is extra painful because of the knee injury from last year.

If UCF could host the South Region it might get interesting for them.

I keep avoiding saying that this is a deliberate tactic but Big Picture Bill sees another deep run. It takes a super talented player to even consider this. Whatever is happening is working after a season high of five straight wins and a tie for third in this top heavy league. The rest of the team righted the ship by themselves to make this work and payback dunks against MU, KSU and now BYU show an edge and belief in themselves. I swear to Doctor Phog Allen that Bryson Tiller smiled.

@tundrahok Last week Arizona led BYU by 19 in the second half and by 11 with 63 seconds left and BYU had the ball under their basket with 15 seconds left and missed the winning shot. They came back against the #1 team in the country better than they did against us. Maybe they are just resilient and really good also. I'm not upset about their big second half. We were a mid 70's scoring team without DP and we scored at our average in the second half. Kudos to Jamari for his play all game. Eight points, three boards, two assists and zero turnovers.

We beat BYU and get immediate gratification and that's all. This conference is so stacked at the top and may only get seven bids in the tourney.

DP evidently not an ankle issue but cramping that Self noticed at the half. We need him against TTU of course and Elmarko is expected to play Monday for that road game against Toppin and Anderson. TTU lost at UCF today and will be pumped and we should be also after today.

OK thanks and we can handle a tender tendon but we need him for depth.

Flory shut down Dybansta and he struggled to get inside. We can be disappointed in DP but we saw a 50 point type of scorer in action. Tre White played his usual hard game but his four quick turnovers at the start of the second half changed the tone. BYU is a top ten type team but couldn't handle our defense.

Saunders making all those threes was a fluke even though he is a stud. He missed the big one, Melvin hit a big one, Tiller with a great block and great game. Big Big win as TTU goes down. I got my wish for an improbable 5th win in a row.

Now we see what we believed Tiller could do. Elmarko quick enough to front Dybantsa.

Defense holding a 45 points per half team to 33. Pure effort and good prep.

Tiller getting into the physical part fired him up.

Dybantsa looks 6'10"
