Enjoy!

Let's do this thing.

So hope it all comes together for the Red Raiders tonight. We are due some good shots and good health.

#TTW, I’m taking our veterans vs their youth.

I’m ready! Red Raider Nation let’s do this!

Find. A. Way.

Toughest team wins…Find . A. Way!!!

Let’s go!!

I think we win if we can avoid those 2-3 prolonged scoring droughts that seem to frequently plague us.

@batmantt what do Chance’s minutes look like??

Love you guys

Alright guys
Let’s go !

Drinking vodka Red Bulls let’s go

Chance is OUT tonight per release

Career high 25 from CA tonight. I’m feeling it.

We are cooked, I'm afraid.

Expecting the worst, hoping for the best.

That's how I'm going into this game personally. Really puts a damper on things when Chance cant go and their best player of course does.

Get out of the shooting slump and stay out of foul trouble and you still have plenty of chance to win tonight, no pun intended.

taking an extra gummy tonight to prepare myself for the highs and lows of the next 3 hours

We roll tonight, bet mortgage on it

I’m nervous. Going to take a Herculean effort from some role players to win. Need to hit 15 or more 3s tonight.

We need to shoot over 35 percent from 3 in this game... time for people to step up and hit shots.

Well. Here we go.

Arkansas rolling with no one shorter than 6’4”.
Tech rolling with no one taller than 6’7”.

If we see JT or D5 hit a 3 early, look out.

Oof.

WTF can’t we make 3’s anymore?

Hawkins with an abhorrent pass after the steal 🤣

Clank city from 3, but Toppin is dominating both ends.

Can’t knock down anything

Some of these three are going to need to start falling. 29% from 3 without chance is really bad

Arkansas with 2 3s is not on my bingo card

I mean we aren't even close.

Shooting woes continue

Toppin needs to touch it every ****ing possesion

Arkansas sucks. They’ll only stay close as long as we let them.

Cannot shoot a lick.

If 32% Arkansas shooters are draining 3’s and Tech’s missing wide open ones then there’s not much else you can do

please make shots

Welp. Good season guys.

Our 3s don’t even look close. If we keep hacking it up we’ll lose by 20

Settle down. We’re going to be fine.

I wish I understood how we suddenly suck ass at the three. I refuse to believe it’s the sight lines as other teams are clearly not having this issue

This seems like good things for Texas Tech. I'm encouraged at the moment.

Anderson cannot shoot

We seem like the better team but can’t buy a bucket. Meanwhile they are draining threes like Steph Curry. Can’t make this stuff up

Dude everyone needs to calm the f down. Not even 5 mins in and all the sky is falling folks are out. Geez. 🙄

We will settle in.

Maybe they were right about the SEC

Woof

Well this couldn’t have started worse

Oooooof

MAKE A GOT DAMN BASKET! This is asinine! 3 ****ing games in a row! Absurd!

Pack it up

The moment feels to big for Hawkins.

Arky is shooting 33.3% and they have more than are up 7.

Another TO. We are rattled as ****,

Nightmare.

Jesus, we look like shit run over twice.

Not good folks

I am guessing we arent going to get a bunch of moaning and groaning about how the SEC is an overrated ESPN hype machine.

Can’t pass. Can’t shoot. Can’t inbound. Get it together

We are getting worked over.

Comical. Embarrassing.

Welp. This is about over.

Welp. I've seen this game before.

this game is over. Sad

😂

Night gents

Done...

This is about to get out of hand.

We’re in trouble

Game over

Arky is 4/4 on 3’s
Tech is 0/7 on 3’s

yikes

Shooting sucks. Can’t score. Game over and this could get ugly.

Good season boys

You couldn't play any worse.

We look completely overmatched.

We are completely overmatched physically. I’m shocked.

Good Season !

Size does matter!

Game over . Pathetic fkn effort . Good season. Terrible way to end. Clowns show

Shoot another 3 you ****s

Is Hawkins point shaving?

What in the actual fvck Hawkins. This is pathetic

This is our limit. Proud of getting to sweet 16 talent rules. They have more.

We have to make a 3 at some point. Right?

We will adjust. It’s 9 points guys.

Our guys are totally rattled. Sad

This could not have started worse. Completely lost out there

Guys it's 10 minutes into the game and this team has never gotten blown out and makes a run at some point in every game. Chill the fvck out.

They have us completely shook. Their size is eating us up.

If we can’t hit 3s… we’re done

Shouldn’t you be baking bread or some shit so we win?

Grant seems to refuse to call a timeout to cool down a run, make adjustments, or even just give his guys some rest.

Completely unprepared

Also our band sucks. Whoever is the director needs to resign.

We’re about to roll, don’t fret

The whole game isn’t gonna go this way but it sucks starting like this.

Why does Texas Tech hate me so much

Calm down ladies it’s still early

We just need to get better at, shooting, rebounding, defense and passing.

Down 9. Grant likes what we are doing offensively, and he’s not wrong. We just can’t hit shit.

Williams needs to stop shooting 3s

We will miss 3s till we lose this game.

D5 is somehow already 1-9.

WTF Hawkins.

I like that Arky is willing to play fast. That might give us a chance.

Hawkins looks mentally checked out

Hawkins with a nightmare game so far.

We are rattled. We will settle down and be fine.

Basketball coaches that wear suits look so stupid!

Federiko showed up

let’s make a run!

I’m in hell right now but I think we win

KO is tonight’s version of Kerwins UNCW game

Keep this close and it’s over. I refuse to believe Arkansas will shoot like this all game.

Kevin ****ing Overton showed up if no one else has

Wake the **** up.

KO saving our ass after all that shit so many of you talked all season

We’re about to turn this around. LFG!!

we’re missing someone that can go get a bucket on their own.

Thank goodness for Overton right now

Some of you always have to have someone to blame.

We've played poorly. .320/.182/1.000

2nd best player is 1-9, 0-4 with 1 turnover but does have 8 rebs

All-time program assist leader has 1 assist to 3 turnovers

You're down by 8 points because they are 6-9 from 3pt

STOP GOING UNDER SCREENS

Defend the Goddamn 3 already.

At this point you have to stop going under screens.

Darrion is a walking brick

Poor Christian Anderson just cannot get out of this shooting funk

Anderson’s shooting has been a major liability in this tournament

Don’t even let D5 shoot tonight. Dudes cooked. What the fvck is wrong with him

C4 is having a tournament to forget.

How is this only an 8 point deficit?

Holy **** can Anderson and Williams pull their heads out of their goddam asses?

What the in the flying **** are they doing.

If we can keep it close, the one thing I like is Arkansas is going to fall in love with the 3. Assuming we revert to the mean it’s going to help us considerably.

Just need to keep it close so we can switch to the hot rim after half.

I wish we had 5 Kevin Overtons tonight.

No more outside shots for Williams.

Arky missed 90% of 3 point attempts in the previous game. They’re making 60% tonight. Meanwhile Tech has been ice cold on 3’s the entire tournament other than Walton hitting some in the first game.

STOP SHOOTING DARRIOM

Welp. Not our night.

Embarrassing shooting effort all around.

Another blowout in favor of an SEC team.

We look totally unprepared for this. No game plan at all, completely disjointed.

Out played and out coached. We’re cooked.

This is over. Panic on offense. And bullied on both ends.

Over.

Nooooooooooooo.

Game is not over…

This is like the freaking bowl game. Just getting owned by these clowns. And mostly our fault.

Could we play a worse half then this?

RAIIIIIDERRRR!!!!!

First 3 minutes of the 2nd half will tell you what is going to happen. Even if we win this, UF is going to abuse us.

Down 7. I’ll actually take that.

Let’s go.

Kind of amazing it's only 7 point game.

EVERYONE CHANGE IT UP. Change your Tech shirt, change a sock. Switch up the booze. Change it up. Still a half to play.

Ok ok ok

There we go!!!!!!

FINALLY D5 THANK YOU MY GAHD

HOW THE FVCK ARE WE ONLY DOWN 7?!?!

Down by 7... feels a miracle.

That was the greatest half of the season for Arkansas.

That was the worst half of the season for Texas Tech.

It's a 7 point game at the half.

Only 7 point game!

Our kids are full of fight. 7 points down as bad as we played makes this far from over.

RAIDERRRRR!!!!!

At least we’re only down 7. That’s good.

We’re a baseball school anyway…

We had good shots. We just need them to start to fall.

Miracle that we are only down 7

Welp. You have to feel good about the score given that half.

Hit threes or lose big in the 2nd half

Not dead yet.

Look we are only down 7 playing like absolute shit. We can win this game pretty easily if we can just get into our flow. They aren't that good and we aren't close to as bad as we showed that half. As always we find a way to stick around and we will make a run.

We’re about to go win this game. These stats can’t hold up over 40 mins.

Only down 7 seems like a win

All things considered being down by single digits isn’t terrible. Hopefully the threes start falling.

RAIDER!!!!

We’re going to win this.

Changed shirts. Hope it helps!

Stay in the fight

They are deeper than us but our bench has outscored them 12-1 thanks to Overton's 10 pts (4-6) and Federiko's 2 pts (1-1).

All things considered, very fortunate to only be down by 7 at the Half.

Toppin 8 points (4-8) 3 rebs 1 ast 3 blks 1 tov 1 fl
Williams 5 points (2-12) 8 rebs 1 tov 1 fl
Walton 0 points (0-1) 1 reb 1 stl 2 fls
Anderson 5 points (1-3) 1 reb 1 ast 1 fl
Hawkins 1 point (0-3) 3 rebs 3 asts 2 stls 3 tovs 1 fl

Overton 10 points (4-6) 2 rebs
Federiko 2 points (1-1) 2 rebs

Just simply have to keep rebounding (21-21 1st Half) and need to start knocking down some shots

Alright, changed the shirt, time to rally.

Absolute disaster from Hawkins in the 1st half. Hoping he turns it up a notch.

I love this team and guarantee you we come out and fight. I believe no matter what happens Arkansas is gonna know they were in a fight this next half.

Everyone change your shirt!

I am going to type a great shooting 2nd half by Christian Anderson, D5 and Kerwin Walton into existence!

Turned off the TV, changed clothes down to my underwear, got in bed, listening to Geoff Haxton @C. Level. Deleted a potato recipe I was going to try. Looking away from Lauren Shahadi.

I'm gonna keep it up til we win this ****ing game!

RAIDER!!!!!!

Changed socks. Changed my shirt.


We’re gonna win.

changed underwear. Sharted in the first half. Hope that helps

You baked banana bread today didn’t you?! DIDN’T YOU?!
