Folks, this is a huge opportunity, win or lose.
Credit Scott Cross, Brent and staff (and tip of the hat to Texas Tech!) for putting this together with a minute's notice. National TV, ESPN2, nationally ranked Div I basketball program.
Ok so. Sitting around Friday night looking for some thing to watch?? Tune in ESPN II.
Troy Trojan Men's Basketball vs Texas Tech, you read it here. >>>>
"Troy Men's Basketball has a new opponent this week AND will be on national television! The Trojans were originally scheduled to play Wake Forest on the road this week but that game was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols within the Wake Forest program. Now, Coach Scott Cross and his team will head to Lubbock to take on #17 Texas State. Tipoff is this Friday at 8 p.m. and the game will be televised on ESPN2. For more details about this exciting game, please click the button below. And remember to tune in on Friday at 8 p.m. on ESPN2 as your Trojans take on the Red Raiders!"

I don't know what's worse, watching Troy constantly putting up 3s they can't hit or the announcers' SJW blather.

I watched a bit of the game. I hated getting blown out by 30 at the half but we took this game last second and had little to no prep time.

Granted I'm no basketball expert (don't even are for the sport) but I was really puzzled about the article (forgot the players name) where he said he expected big things from him at the 3 point line yet he shot 11% from there last season.

MY takeaways from last night's game (I know, who cares): 1) I had expected, due to the lack of prep time and college game time experience, to lose by 30 points. 2) I had hoped to actually lose by less than 20 points. 3) I anticipate that as this team gets more college experience and confidence in each other the three point shots will go through the cylinder. 4) IF #3 does not happen before conference play begins, then I hope Coach Cross removes it from their options. They are too talented of a group to get into that high school mentality of "we are behind and the quickest way to catch up is pull up and throw up a three"! I KNOW we are young and Coach has a lot to instill in them in a short amount of time during a very bizarre time in our country. You could tell by the product placed on the floor last night, Coach is doing as much as we expect and probably a lot more. Coach has done an excellent job of getting some great players from his stomping grounds (Texas) and his new home (Alabama)! They are going to be fun to watch and mature! THIS TEAM has the hustle you want in a basketball program so I am telling everyone now, go get your sunglasses! The future is BRIGHT for Troy Trojans Basketball

We lost. We lost bad. We gave effort until the end. Like the great Fran Frischilla said, “this young team will become juniors and seniors one day and they will always remember going to Texas Tech and getting their butts whipped and it will make them better”. Also he couldn’t say enough good things about Coach Cross. It was a great experience. Hope they can get rested before the big game vs UAB.

This team hustles and never seemed to stop working. They get it. Although we looked like a high school team playing men. We need to get bigger. I hope we can keep him around for a while.

Never expect to lose. Especially by 30.
Lace them up to win.
