Yep. Already having those discussions here because of fed employees being forced back to the office and possibly relocated.

Life and work happen. Nothing is guaranteed. Nor should it be.

WT Men have three tough home games against St Mary’s, St Edward’s and ENMU. Need to win all three to make LSC tournament. Will then need to make it to Finals of that tournament to have a chance of being picked for NCAA’s. Got Amed back which helps. Getting past St Mary’s tonight is a must and will be a real challenge.

WT Women play the same opponents. Need to get two of three to safely get into LSC tournament. Would then need to make it to the LSC semi finals to have a chance to make NCAA’s. This team is so fickle. Do not know if they will show for every game.

WT men got the big win but the Women suffered the bad crippling loss at home to St. Mary's.

At this point both teams need to win the LSC tournament to go to regionals.

Good to see you here posting again.

If WT men beat st eds and enmu and win 1st game in Frisco, they make regionals. Their sos is very high.

[GoBuffs]

WT women will be lucky to make the LSC tourney. Even if they do, that will end it for this season. Really sad to see Lady Buffs basketball at such a low level. Mattio was bad but Prock is not any better. He needs to go.

WT men blow a 11 point second half lead and lose to St. Edwards at home. Playoffs on life support. Women erase a second half deficit to beat St. Edwards to keep their playoff hopes on life support.

Ladies played good 2nd half. Good D hit some shots. Men lack a Larry Wise and a good back up post. St. Eds D in 2nd half was phenomenal. Not surprised. It's coached by Jeff Evans. He won about 550 games at Amarillo Palo Duro in 20+ years. It looked just like his HS teams. Full court man trap all the time every time. WT missed 11 FT and several shots that just rocked around and bounced back out. St Eds shut down the paint, period!

Jeff might be a good fit for WT after Tom goes to SFA.

He probably will. Except for softball (??) Lipinski could have complete head coach turnover of his major sports within 18 months of his hire. This season is it for Josh Lynn and I am sure he has been told that. Prock, you gotta be in the top 25. This is WT. Tom will go to SFA. His assistants have traditionally followed him.

Lipinski's legacy and future job prospects are going to be judged by the success of these replacement hires. Looks like he got a good one for volleyball. Pretty tough to replace someone that went unbeaten in conference.

[GoBuffs]

Lipinski should keep Cory Hall as baseball coach. Also I hope he can keep Matt Stewart (track).

[BuffaloChip]

Jeff might be a good fit for WT after Tom goes to SFA.

Tom's 9 yr ex asst, HC at St.Cloud, Quincy Henderson. Or Angelo State HC Vinay Patel. Both excellent! Vinay has more HC experience. Quincy plays Tom's style of ball.

WT Women were horrible this evening against ENMU. While EMNU deserves credit for their scheme and energy, this WT team has regressed as the season has progressed. Time for a coaching change.

[GoBuffs]

Time for a coaching change is an understatement. It’s so sad to see Lady Buffs basketball so pathetic.

Yeah and the Men got by the skin of their teeth in double OT.

Catastrophic loss by the Lady Buffs as ENMU was #5 and WT was #6 in the regional rankings.

Its hard to see Prock struggle and by extension Gerlich struggle at Tech as they both will likely be out at the end of the season.

I think Gerlich only hope is if #1 basketball recruit in the nation from Lubbock Monterey Aaliyah Chavez decides to sign with Tech on March 25 but that might be the draw to sign her if they get a more accomplish coach to show hope at Tech.

More than ever its make an ENMU type run for both teams in the LSC tournament for that automatic bid or both teams will have a long off season.
