No talk on the tech board about the game or here. I see rbl is headed down. I am on call or I would go.

Very good summary by BTH. That is what we have to do. I don't think we have to shoot great from the arc against them, because they do not shoot that well, either (although better than we do.) Over a third of their attempts are from the arc, but they only shoot 32.3% from there. So they shoot relatively few FT's, and don't make many of what they do shoot.

They have some decent shooters, but the guys who aren't shooters are taking too many of the shots.

This is a game we could win. Not sure this team can win on the road at this point. But I doubt LaTech has 500 people there with school out. This is our best shot for a win in the next 4 weeks. We don't win this it looks likely that we will have a 13 game losing streak against DI competition. Maybe a win here can give us the confidence to pull an upset before this brutal stretch of games ends. It's tough to break a losing streak on the road, but this is clearly our best chance at doing that.

At some point this team breaks out. We have come close. I don't see anything that indicates this is a game we cannot win.

We have played a lot of teams close better than tech, so I expect a win.

I never "expect a win" on the road, especially from a team trying to learn how to win on the road, or anywhere else, for that matter. I am hopeful for a win. Optimistic? That goes too far.

Team warming up. They are not expecting a large crowd tonight because there football team is in a bowl game tonight

There are 4 of us Trojan fans sitting behind our team bench

We suck no way we win? Guys this is not as good of a team talent wise than us and they have a new coach and new players. We stand a good chance of finishing this out.

That hurt!

Some good things happened. We finally shot the 3 well. Hope we can sustain it.

We won the rebound battle, but it is our point guard who did it. We have to get to where the point guard is not having to do everything.

Turnovers killed us. Correct that one stat and we win the game comfortably.

Taggart is going to be a star for us, and soon.

Chuck is still the man to get to the line and make the shots. Valuable weapon to have late in any game.

They had 26 points off turnovers. Story of the game.

It looks like the rotation got defined - nine - which is about right.
