WT WBB

[JakeTAMUC]

In a game played in a playoff atmosphere, in front of 1,600 fans, Wt outlasted defending national champion LCU 64-56. Wt overcame a cold shooting night with a outstanding defensive effort including 13 blocked shots with 7 by Sr. Tiana Parker. Megan Gamble leads all scorers with 17 points. Wt's largest lead was 17 halfway through the 3rd period. LCU continued to chip away keeping the outcome in doubt. With the win, WT takes over first place in the Division with a record of 9-1 and an overall record of 16-3. LCU falls to 8-2 in conference losing back to back games.

Nice win for the lady buffs.

Is there anyway Tom Brown could coach the women, too?

WT dominated this game! Angelo played the worst game of their season. This was NOT a normal game for Angelo. Not sure if it was because WT is that much better or the Belles were simply ROAD worn. Guess we shall see in 3 weeks on 2/8.

Wt has a lot of talent - this was the best game we have played all year. Need another one Saturday.

[ASUPops]

Wt 79
ASU 58

ASU was never in this game and did not make a serious run. This was a total team effort by Wt. Four players in double figures led by Nix with 21 and Dollar with 16 points, 10 rebounds for her fourth double-double. Nix's 21 were on 7-11 from 3 point range. Wt outscored ASU 36-18 in the paint, More was a non-factor. Very good defense 11 blocked shots, 10 by our post players. As with most nights, Dollar is a match-up problem. She is our sixth man and raises the energy level when she enters the game. It will take another total team effort for Wt to get a win over LCU. IMHO the LSC is now a three-team race, Commerce - LCU - Wt. GoBuffsGo.

UPDATE:
ENMU 69 OT
LCU 68

This is going to fun!

LCU game will determine the regular-season title. Unless Hightower come back, WT won't be able to beat Commerce or LCU

Hightower is most likely out for the year. IMHO, Commerce is largely untested, weak division. A lot of basketball left to play. NEVER count-out
a Lady Buff team - especially at home.

End of the month. 30th I think. And we play WT in late Feb.

Lee Passmore still covers WT for the AGN. I see his articles on Twitter all the time. Never can find it on the website though.

As far as I know there are no longer any sports writers with the newspaper & substantially all of what is left is handled by Lubbock personnel (also printed in Lubbock). The primary sports writer is now doing his own reporting via https://www.presspasssports.com/ which includes tremendous reporting on WT as well as all of the area high schools. You can subscribe to his service ($0) and receive email updates - I often get several / day, but he does an excellent job with WT. Another of the former writers is now an employee at WT.

Went to the website and didn't find a tab to sign-up.

Different pod than WT right? Was wondering when they would play LCU

What is going on the with the media coverage on the Buffs this year? I go to Amarillo online and all I see are Texas Tech articles from beat writers not associated with the newspaper. Have they a shortage of reporters? Its sad to see no coverage on the teams.

Well, the warm-up games are over. Wt plays Angelo & LCU at home this week. Should be two hard-fought games. I have seen LCU twice, (I have family in Lubbock) they are very good, very disciplined with high basketball IQ. We match up well on the inside, however, our guards will need to bring their A-game. I have not seen Angelo. LCU defeated Angelo at Angelo earlier this year in a tournament game. Also, they defeated them in the first LCS meeting. Looking forward to the games. GoBuffsGo
