We have to take this momentum and run with it! No letting up now. These guys can't start reading their own press clippings.

I absolutely LOVE when opposing fans say this

Oh well we're still the better team.

Kyles is my favorite player even though I love our whole team...it may be the flying dunks!

Exactly. Very nice win, but only one game. There are many, many tough games left before we can feel that good about ourselves.

Bring on NDSU and then the Valley!

:clap:

No joke, and it took some miraculous 3 pointers to get it close at the end.

Kyles is a superstar.

I don't know that I would have expected this when he came into the program, but every game David is reminding me more and more of PJ. PJ was a good scorer, but really excelled by playing every facet of the game well and filling up the stat sheet. David is starting to do the same by playing great defense, dishing out assists, and skying for rebounds.

There are certainly plenty of differences in their games, but that jack of all trades ability is there with both and I love seeing it.

David is MUCH faster than P.J., not to take anything away from P.J. When Kyles moves to the hoop he is high octane. It appears he has a higher vertical leap as well. He has gotten his elbow above the rim in games.

P.J. is a proven winner though with the heart of a lion. David still has a ways to go in that department. I would compare Murry to P.J. in this regard.

Just got home after hanging out enjoying this win. Haven't read through everything.

Obviously the Shox let up big time in the 2nd half. However, they again responded pretty well when Tech went on their initial run to take the lead. They did do some stupid fouls towords the end, but they did what all good teams do and made their freethrows. It's hard NOT to be proud of this team and excited.

Oh and KC Shox...hang in there bud. I'm sure you'll be right EVENTUALLY! ;)

They weren't the better team tonight, were they????? :yahoo:

I thought that's why you played the game, to see who is the better team! duh!
:cry: :cry: :cry:

And why did Tech have 7 coaches, I thought 4 was the most you could have? (7 sat in a row counting Pat Knight).

I loved that Pat Knight's comment on the late 3s:

“We got lucky and hit some threes,” Tech coach Pat Knight said. “The last minute wasn’t a big deal. That’s just getting hot.”

Their coach knew that them closing the gap late with some wild 3s doesn't prove anything about who the better team was. Maybe their fans could take the coach's lead.

Coach Knight seems like a pretty classy guy.

I doubt it would happen but would love to see Tech do at least middle of the pack in the Big 12 this year. Of course, it would help the Shox look better also.... :D :good:

Congrats guys, great win tonight!

We had our best overall effort of the season @Utah tonight. Hopefully our 2 losses prior were a wakeup call. Time will tell. Some big wins for the Valley tonight, especially yours.

Our matchup on the 29th should be intense!
