@RyanMainville Unfortunately we’re in the middle of Point# 1 on your list.

Four notes for today’s game against Alabama: 1) The winner of this game will likely have 87+ points. They are going to have to replace the nets after this one. Whoever has the game’s longest and largest run will win. 2) Can TTU continue its solid transition defense after allowing 0 fast break points to Akron? This is obviously a different caliber of opponent. Alabama has scored 16+ fast break points in three of its last four games. A real test in that department. 3) Alabama has scored 50+ points in the paint in three games this year, an absurd number. But in those games, their average margin of victory is 5.5 points. TTU has struggled at defending the inside since Toppin’s injury, but it may actually favor them today to trade twos for threes. 4) Bama has been excellent at protecting the ball this season, but did struggle with turnovers against Hofstra. TTU has to find a way to take advantage of Holloway’s absence and generate extra offensive possessions by forcing turnovers. They’ll need them today.

@tedgangi @MiamiOH_BBall Seeing this reminds me of the late great Chuck Carlton and Gerry Fraley. #rip

Been there, ⁦@MiamiOH_BBall⁩ ... go beat some people!

@SportsSturm How ‘bout ‘96? The beginning of the end of the dynasty.

Well????

@broadcastbooth @TexasTechFB @LEARFIELDAudio Congratulations BJ! 25+ years as the voice of the Red Raiders was worth the wait I hope.

Big12 Championship from the Booth! Was worth the wait!! Courtesy @TexasTechFB and @LEARFIELDAudio. #TDRR

The amount of head space that Tech occupies in Aggies, Horns and Sooners right now is off the charts. 🤣

@HookEm_Sports Enjoy the holidays bad mouthing Tech while you guys get ready for the Cheez-it bowl. 🤣

Tech fans.. YOUR WELCOME Yall should be thanking your older brothers Texas & OU for leaving the conference so yall can finally win the big12

@LonghornJoker Maybe. Why don’t you sit back on your couch and watch. Maybe Sark will invite to you to watch with him. 🤣

@LonghornJoker I like the teams listed on your profile. I see a pattern there. #onlywinners

@nicheboolean @SportsSturm Jelly much? 🤣

@SportsSturm Buy a defense with nil money in a weak conference. Cool.

What a moment for Joey McGuire and his program. So great to see that sort of breakthrough.

@rcb05 What was A&M’s excuse from 99 - 2011?

All it took for Texas Tech to win a Big 12 championship was for Colorado, Nebraska, Texas A&M, Missouri, Texas and Oklahoma to leave.

@GeorgeStoia Please give us the other examples of this situation that you describe. Don’t single out TT as the only school where this takes place.

Texas Tech is a great example of if your school has a multi-billionaire booster, you can buy a championship.

@SportsSturm I think that was Matt Sarazin, QB1, who lived with his grandmother.

My other Tech observation off this Utah game is that QB Will Hammond reminded me a lot of Jesse Plemons backup QB role in Friday Night Lights. Not sure if he is also taking care of his grandmother or not. Will report back.

@voiceofcohen2 When you’re going through what the Cubs are going through, it all matters in a big way: base running mistakes, giving up 2-strike run-scoring hits, closer giving up lead in the 9th, missed bunt attempts.

Reason #1 was scoring just one run on a sac fly during an inning that featured the bases loaded and nobody out. That was far more detrimental than anything PCA did or didn’t do today.

@MLBBruceLevine 20 HRs allowed. 🙈

Cubs have allowed 54 runs in their last 6 games.

@MLBBruceLevine Brutal number!

@junior_miller do you see any Ice-Man in Halliburton’s game?

@JesseRogersESPN Summary of the series: 15 BB by Cub pitchers, 21 Ks by Cub batters.

Small thing but good time to wonder why a rookie is hitting ahead of a $177 million player who has 25 home run seasons on his resume. Managers/execs often wave off batting order questions. "Put your best hitters up top, they say. Its simple." You do that for this exact scenario. So they get the extra AB late. Not here.

@JohnDurell @robbreauxshow You’re kidding if you think the basket is guaranteed from Federico. Worst hands in the country.

@robbreauxshow So say they reverse the goaltending, Fede clearly had the rebound and was going up for a layup after the goaltend. How do you take points off but not acknowledge what happened right after? Seems like Tech is penalized severely for a bad call?

We have to fix this review quirk where they are going back 4 minutes later to look at stuff.

@RyanHyattMedia Walton gets exposed when playing too many minutes.

Nothing better than watching your team in a conference tournament game knowing the outcome doesn't matter when it comes to the #NCAA Tournament. #WreckEm

@JayCuda Slightly better record than his Saturdays in college.

mahomes is now 8-0 on saturdays in the nfl
