With the Alabama loss tonight, if X gets a road kill at Texas they will have a home game that could send them to MSG.

I went to the game last night - the atmosphere was electric, even with a smaller crowd than normal.
If you were there, does anybody else think that the Rocket mascot looks like a Power Ranger?

I was there.
Attendance was just under 5,800.
Agree - thought the noise level was pretty decent and few 2nd half dunks really ignited the crowd.
We had great seats - section 101. 4th row.
I had a little pre-game interaction with Rocky - the TU mascot.
Power Rangers - maybe but the flavor of the day currently is PJ Masks.
Except those are all animals so I guess a rocket wouldn't fit.
It was a little weird to see opposing team cheer squad at the game but it was a tournament game
Fun night

Good win for X but TU did have 2 key players out - the Jackson's - Marreon and Willie.
The former is their point guard.

i thought i read they had 3 starters out.

lack of depth (basically playing 6 guys) took its toll on them. heck, we actually PRESSED a little bit and it worked. they had no legs by about the 12 min mark of 2nd half and it showed.

not sure if we have to worry about a hostile crowd in Texas (Saturday at 4 pm on ESPN) but they had 1700 at their first game.

I liked the press too.
Basically they had 3 guys scoring - the one big (#35) shot well from 3 (45% for the year).
And 2 guards - #32 and #13.
I thought they just had 2 guys out of action.
Hope the weather is beautiful in Austin on Sunday so folks can go out and enjoy it rather than sit in dungy gym watching basketball.

i've read two different places online - one that says Sunday at 4 pm. the other said Saturday at 4 pm.

which one is it?

[mumuskie87]

4 PM Sunday - 3-24

I thought Q played a decent game overall, but I don't think I've ever seen a guy hit 2 long jumpers, and also shoot 3-4 airballs in only 11 shots in the same game. Two were really errant, and I think one hit a guy walking to the bathroom in the 8th row. I really think it's the way he holds the ball. He doesn't seem to shoot it the same way all the time. Paging Dr. Redford.
