Frogs v Tech Game Thread - ESPN2

[Zubaz]

It seems like MBB had a promising start to beginning of season but since then has been in steady decline. What’s up, injuries?

 

[Pharm Frog]

Texas Tech is 8-of-11 from 3-point range.

Not surprising since they get to rest while on D. Same story almost every game.

 

[Pharm Frog]

I get your point but a good coach makes the sum of the parts better than the parts themselves.

Not convinced he isn’t doing just that. They are 4-6 in conference

 

[ATC Frog]

Did Dixon really switch to a 2-3 zone when Tech has made 9 3’s?

that’s insanity

 

[OmniscienceFrog]

Texas Tech is 8-of-11 from 3-point range.

And 3-8 from the free throw line.

 

[Flip Frog]

So you tell me who the ball players are on this team. I see maybe 1.5

This team looks lost. Unsure of themselves. That’s on the coach. Also as the head coach, if they do have 1.5 players, whose freakin fault is that?

I agree that he should have because the man-to-man help D was responsible for them getting the vast majority of those open looks.

RJ has the ugliest shot.

This seems oddly satisfying:

 

[MagicFrog]

What is scary is I don’t see how we are better next year. JD has set the program back. Funny how Tech can basically replace their entire team and still be WAY better than we are with what we had returning.

They are better tonight at home, but don't forget who won a few weeks ago. They aren't as good as they look tonight and we aren't as bad. Dixon has made us at least somewhat relevant the past few years which is more than any other coach has since probably Tubbs was here.

I said talent evaluation was the key problem. And they are unsure of themselves because they are inferior basketball players

You are wasting time arguing with someone who can't keep up with the topic.

I come here precisely because I have time to waste.

 

[Flip Frog]

The topic is Dixon has this program in a bad spot. Talent evaluation and recruiting and retaining players IS PART OF THE JOB. But please, you can change the topic again.

He also has a lot more things to sell to recruits. Comparing what he’s doing now to what the previous coaches were doing isn’t an apples to apples comparison imo.

Dixon is an alum so I don’t want to sound disrespectful, but I’d be fine if he moved on. Had enough at this point.

This looks like an early season non-conference money game where the talent is grossly lopsided.

 

[PurpleBlood87]

Look another chance for an opponent to hit a three at the buzzer.

 

[bp4tcu]

Largest halftime deficit of Dixon’s tenure. Fire him now, make him walk home.

They almost won the national championship last year and has probably the nicest arena in the conference. I'm not sure what you think kids want to buy, but Tech basketball has more of it in basically every way.

These announcers are horrendous! We are getting beat yes but tech won’t continue to shoot at this percentage!

Probably not but if they don’t it’s most likely on them.
