TB, a question

Tb, i need your college bball savvy mind. Tell me why the line on texas tech is moving downward at a rapid rate. They are playing La-Tech at La-tech. Still though this is a big 12 school against a team thats 1-5, What am i missing here?

on a different note...they just showed Waymen Tisdale at the OU/Vill game....dude there had some serious game.

I miss old school basketball.

Lousiana Tech has lost games against two good teams, S. Illinois and Texas ATM, their other loses have been close. Texas Tech is just not that good. Bobby Knight is a great coach, but he does not get talent because of his obvious erratic personal behavior.

Texas Tech will have a very hard time in a decent Big 12. ATM, Kansas, Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma State... should all be fairly tough teams. Oklahoma lost Kelvin Sampson so I dont expect much from them. Their best recruit has abandoned ship. No way Texas Tech makes the NCAA tourney. They will be just above .500 in the Big 12 play.

Just looked at the score. Very close. About what I would have expected. Last few minutes may change the score if one team has to foul to get the ball back.

p, i got texas tech won and covered. Tech may not be the greatest but they have great upper classman in the backcourt and that means a heck of alot. This is la tech not a big 12 foe. TT played horrible and still somehow won.

58-57 with 3 minutes to go. They got a little lead and made their foul shots. I dont know what the line was, but Texas Tech is not good. You only have to have a few decent players in basketball to make a game of it unlike football. I would not have made a bet on Tech, but I am certainly glad you won. They could have easily lost that game or won by a point or two. L. Tech missed 8 out of 15 free throws while T.Tech hits 75%... but ya got tha win, wipe brow.

No doubt, thats my advantage though upper classman in the backcourt who can hit the free ones. You are right though, they simply are not that good. Their front court is absolutely hideous. Backcourt will be fine but their fowards will lose them many a game this year.

Good FT teams are historically good wagers, and they don't drive you nuts either
