GU vs Texas Tech - Predictions/Thoughts/What you do hope to see

[bartruff1]

Saturday’s game is NOT about the past. It is not about Texas Tech defeating us in the Tourney in 2019 or at the Great Alaska Shoot Out in 07 (which we were at). It is not about my nephew, the Texas Tech grad, unrelentingly giving me crap for 14 years. It is not about my 60+ Texas cousins and their attitude toward their NW family. Saturday is not about revenge.

Post of the year.....

A Must Win

Lose, Bye-Bye 1 Seed, a desperate poem
<ahem>
Our Zags 'gainst the wall,
C'mon, Zags! Don't linger!
Give Timme the ball,
Red Raiders the finger.*
----------
One Seed -- 83
Not One Seed -- 71

*The "We're No. 1" finger, of course.

Win or lose, I want to see our boys match their defensive intensity.

Da Zags 1000
Slap Happy Tech 0

But what I’d really like to see is a “Get well soon Woohoo, we’re praying for you!” sign at the game on Saturday.

Ditto on the sign... just an FYI... I can't put that score in as it will mess up averages... that being said I WILL put in the spreadsheet to see what it comes out as

Zags 76-71

I predict the Zags lose. I don't have a prediction on the score. This hurts to post this. I have never predicted a Zags loss. But I have an awful feeling the team is going to come out in the early stages of the first half looking like they are showing up to another random "Open Gym" session while our opponent comes out to start the game with extreme intensity, focus and energy like I saw vs. Duke and vs. Bama. I'm not feeling too positive. Sorry

I hope to see . . .
no injuries.
a return to Zag form.
Woohoo posting here within a week.

GU 78-72

We already know.... if Zag's are shooting well early and establish a real threat from the outside that it forces the defense not to sag and make life difficult for both Timme and Nemby in the middle of the floor. That would be the perfect scenario! 2 bad that it doesn't always work out that way. (Its easy to win when that happens)

On the other hand if the 3 ball isn't falling early, what i would like to see....less self inflicted mistakes.

1. 12 or fewer turnovers
2. 70%+ FREE FREE FREE throws.
3. Less perimeter dribbling.

It may not be a pretty game but if that takes place GU wins by double digits.

[Zaga]

92 - 78

Zags!!!

[Sarenyon]

Zags - 81
TTRR- 76

I think Nembhard should play better this game. Zags will clean up the turnovers and forced passes. Free throw shooting is better. Zags 89-Raiders 78.

According to the Texas Tech Student Radio Station twitter feed:

Mylik Wilson was leading Texas Tech in assists, steals, and blocks coming into their game tonight. He's 10th in country in assist to turnover ratio. TT HC Mark Adams said Mylik Wilson has a knee issue that may require surgery, but they will see. Adams said Wilson should miss the next couple games, at least.

Leading scorer Terrence Shannon Jr. only played 16 minutes, scoring two points, against Ark State; was limited by back spasms. Junior G Kevin McCullar picked up the slack, scoring 7 points over his 14 ppg season average to go with 5 boards and 4 assists in 32 minutes.

Really sorry to read that Tech will not be at full strength for our game. Sorry for the sake of Tech's injured players. Hope they're soon back in action in total health. Sorry for us not being presented with Tech's full arsenal/talent. If we merit a No. 1 Seed come tournament time, we need to face top teams at full strength and best their best.

I'm seeing a lot of 1 seed talk. It feels like we already lost the 1 seed regardless of the Tech outcome.

[Malastein]

I’m hoping either Sallis or Hickman really emerges as a force! Both have shown flashes, but neither has shown consistency. One or the other stepping up would be huge!
