Texas Tech

Okay, this may now become a curse…I have written this column two times now and each time I’ve written about a savior (team), that team, or teams, seems to flop the following week. This past week’s victims are the teams from New Jersey, specifically Seton Hall and Rutgers who were both 0-fer for the week in the Big East. It was an especially bad week for the Hall as the Pirates had won a nice stretch of games to put themselves in position for an NCAA Tournament bid and are now, at best, back on the bubble.

How can you not feel bad for Brody Angley? And it has nothing to do with the hair. The poor guy is in the 1,000 point club and has been a superb leader for Santa Clara for four years, but he might now be mostly remembered for losing the game against Gonzaga this week. Angley was a little over aggressive at the end of regulation and fouled a Bulldog with virtually no time left on the clock. It was a dumb play, but it was an aggressive foul, and it is hard to blame anybody for hustling. But that led the game to overtime where the Broncos lost. The status of UNC’s Ty Lawson

Picture of the Day

 

Yes (He's a Legend)

No (He Hasn't Done Anything on the Court in Years)

Bob Knight announced his resignation on Monday, and his son Pat will take over as head coach at Texas Tech. The Red Raiders are 12-8 overall, and currently 3-3 in Big 12 play, with little chance of making the NCAA Tournament.

Knight, 67, recently won his 900th game against Texas A&M has the most wins of any D1 coach with 902. He retires having won 3 National Titles with Indiana in 1977, 81, and 87.
