Gotta get a win at home!

Honestly - not too worried dropping 2 games by 5 points combined.
Iâll be more concerned if we start dropping home games.

Texas Tech is 14-2 and flying high, but has anyone seen their schedule?
Theyâve played ONE game against NET top 50. That was a 16 point neutral court loss to Villanova. Nova is 35 in the NET. Remember how Penn beat Nova?
Weâve played 4 games against NET top 30. 6 vs top 50.
Weâve played one common opponent, Aggy Island. Tech won in Lubbock by 9. We won by 32.
And sure, they won at Austin but as Iâve said since Texas only beat Louisville by one, the Horns are mid at best.

Tech beat the Aggies in the Compete 4 Cause Exhibition at the UNT super pit to start the season.
Exhibition game in October means nada.
Weâve lost two straight. Letâs celebrate after the win not before

Texas tech on paper should not be a good team, but theyve kept finding ways to win
Interesting texas tech points:
-
they have a 7footer at center. he is the only player over 6â7 in their entire rotation. they try to play him every single minute of the game on close games
-
the essentially play 4 guards and the center, all 4 guards can shoot⊠offensively they play 5out, the center is not a shooter but a driver/picker
-
super small line up 1-4, and the center avoids contact to avoid fouls - obviously not the best rebounding team⊠and they dont have the best defensive players, but they do have a top tier defensive coach
-
they are an insanely dangerous teams when they are hitting 3s, that is how they beat texas and ok state, who basically had +10 rebounding margin on tech and won almost all stat categories, but tech was hitting 50% from 3 on both games. they shot horrible in kstat but that was a game they were able to keep up on the boards
-
the âvill killed themâ point is not as strong, they have a completely different dynamic since then. they are a new roster under a new coach, so theyve had some rapid evolutions ⊠they tried to play big early in the season, and transitioned to prioritizing shooter now⊠ie walton played 2mins vs vill, he does 30 a night now as a starter, also stopped playing some of their younger players
tech is a flawed team, that is likely to have collapse before the season ends âŠthey shot well vs teams that have dominated the boards, and had their bad shooting games against team they could rebound with âŠat some point that wont align⊠and for some games it wont even matter, they shot 50% from 3 vs butler but lost in OT⊠butler had +20 rebounding margin
will be curious how samspon approaches this game, we could get away with jwan and 4 guards this game to spike the offense⊠or go for rebounding domination with francis/jojo

Sounds like we MUST FIX OUR SLOW TRANSITIONS TO THE PERIMETER AFTER TRAPPING⊠We give up way too many wide open 3s.

We are giving up WAY too many wide open 3s this year. I donât think Iâve ever seen it this bad under CKS. Contesting every shot is our bread and butter and we need to get back to it asap.

It was the same last year⊠Didnât get exposed unntil miamil went berzerkâŠ
There was a stretch in the 2nd half when we gave up 8 to 10 straight points on essentially layups vs TCU.

Coogs havenât played a conference game against a ranked opponent at home since 2019. Should be a good one.

Looks like we are an 8 1/2 point favorite.
Predict that we exceed the betting line.
