Much better energy. LFG!

 

[helechopper]

Today, we are Arizona State

When Texh cools off they’ll become Arizona State.

Man, they didn't want to call the most obvious rebounding foul ever.

 

[cloneclone]

Bateman making winning plays

 

[BigLame]

He really didn't want to make that call on the rebound

 

[cyatheart]

hope we can keep Batemon for 4 years, if we can he has potential to be my favorite cyclone ever, love his game

 

[helechopper]

And I’m making winning posts.

We're rotating better than the last go around. Tech has had less time on those skip pass threes. Better energy, but offense has to execute better.

 

[Old87]

Love the energy boost that Bateman brings.

 

[SolterraCyclone]

Batemon comes in we’re +5, Batemon out we’re -10. Just saying

 

[GoSTATE71]

I absolutely the offense where both of our bigs who can barely shoot are at the 3 point line at the same exact time, really big brain stuff by Schmidt to do that. Totally doesn’t allow to clog the lane and then encourages us to shoot 3s that we can’t make. Let’s keep running that offense though Schmidt

 

[mj4cy]

well things always seem to go perfect for Tech and we're hanging in there so just keep shooting.

Didn't love Lipsey's quick pull up 3 in that possession but he's also scored 5 straight so can live with the heat check.

Keep fighting! Win and we get to watch more tomorrow. Lose and we get to rest and probably a #3 seed in STL

TT announcers constantly griping about slipping. Maybe this floor ain't so good.

It looks like there is a lot of slipping going on just from standard cuts.

 

[ChickenNuggetMan]

Much better hustle the last few minutes. Making shots helps too!

 

[GoSTATE71]

This Tech team won't do squat without Toppin but they can kick our ass.

They’ll go farther in the tourney then us probably, they can actually shoot and run an offense.

 

[helechopper]

It’s Lipsy hitting 2 baskets for 5 points that has us all giddy.

 

[BigLame]

Limit the hero-ball, contest all shots & pound inside & actually make the close in shots & we should grind them into submission - but easier said than done

 

[Cymark86]

Started with Tamin missing 2 free throws. Just can't have that out of your 4th year senior

He just has to be a bit better for us to take next step. Not a big fan of him taking 3’s early in shot clock either.

 

[cyatheart]

Love the energy boost that Bateman brings.

guy brings it every single time he is on the floor

That shot wasn’t a good idea unless it went in. I don’t mind the heat check either
