Of course that's what I did. I was pointing out losses and discussing weaknesses.
Besides, your win against Southern Miss last year was a home game. We were talking about you guys traveling to Hattiesburg to play them this Saturday.
I notice that you mentioned me not mentioning those last season wins, but didn't mention that I was right about your team's obvious flaws.
what about beating Oklahoma in Norman?
Do you play Oklahoma this year to make it a valid comparison?
I clearly used Southern Miss and UTSA because you play at Southern Miss this weekend and UAB just faced UTSA.
Again, I see that you can't argue with my actual thoughts on your team and want to instead boost your team by throwing out wins.
I'm not talking about your wins. I'm talking about your losses as I believe they tell more of a story about a team than wins do a lot of the time.
You won in Norman in Overtime and you almost lost that one because of your poor 3 point shooting that night. Hamilton completely bailed your team out.
They did beat OK this year, right?

Sorry, I meant "Do WE play Oklahoma this year".

RE: Conference Scores for 1/16/14
No prob!! I knew you wouldn't make a rookie mistake like that
I do think LaTech is the team to beat in CUSA so far. The aforementioned injury may change that, but *thus far*, they are the team to beat.
When was this guy injured??

If they've still been laying smackdowns like that since his injury, then I'd definitely say their still the team to beat. I thought he got injured like yesterday, lol..

We will know a lot more about how La Tech will handle life without him when they play at Southern Miss on Sunday. So far they have only beaten the crap out of bad teams.

Since the game where he was injured until now, they went a combined 22-78 (28.2%) from 3 point range and shot just 40% from the field. They took and missed shots and were bailed out because the teams they were playing against were terrible and completely outclassed.
I believe those three teams were the worst in Louisiana Tech's conference schedule this year, now we will have a chance to see them play consistently against team's in their own class - UAB, Southern Miss, Charlotte, MTSU....
The only two teams they've played that give a real indicator of their level is Oklahoma which they won away, and Oklahoma State in which they got beat down in the 2nd half of the game. Key difference? Oklahoma's 3 point defense is ranked 138th...Oklahoma State's is ranked 20th.
Their record is a red herring. We will know more about them tomorrow.

Why yes, yes we did.
Again, we aren't talking about UAB, we are talking about Louisiana Tech.
UAB is even more of an unknown than LT is!

Remember what board this is LT. And he didn't say anything that was not true about La Tech. Now if you don't like what you read about your program on this board then you probably shouldn't be here........until the UAB/La Tech game.

Just want to leave this here. Southern Miss beat Louisiana Tech yesterday.
Louisiana Tech's 3 point shooting in the game:
9-28 (32.1%).
Did your rebounders bail you out in this one? Nope:
LT - 26 rebounds, SoMiss - 48 rebounds.
Southern Miss played your style better than you could last night, shooting just 2-18 from behind the arc, but making it up in rebounds. Had 19 offensive rebounds as a matter of fact.

My guess is that we won't be hearing from him *after* the LaTech game...
