It’s no secret that the Louisiana Tech men’s basketball team has struggled away from home this year. Outside of the Thomas Assembly Center, Tech is 3-9 (0-6 in C-USA). On their home floor, the Bulldogs have yet to falter, recording a 12-0 record. But what makes the TAC so special? On average, fewer than 2,300 …
Marshall Recap Not today, death. After the previous week’s “performance”, many (including myself) didn’t expect Tech to be able to compete with conference-leading Marshall. But never doubt the Dogs at home. Tech was able to stave off the Thundering Herd’s thundering comeback in the overtime thriller. Although they only led for 47 seconds of the …

Old Dominion Recap There was more to this game than the final two minutes, but those final two minutes decided this game. The Bulldogs’ inability to shoot free throws directly resulted in a loss on the first leg of the road trip. If you want to relive the painful final moments, here’s a link to …
Hey guys, we need to talk about foul shots. In Tech’s one point loss last night, the Bulldogs were only 17-for-25 (68%) from the line, but what truly hurt was when the those shots were missed. With 2:36 remaining, DaQuan Bracey missed the front half of a one-and-one that would have tied the game at …
UAB Recap Tech beat UAB. All is right in the world. Digging a little deeper than that, there were two things that I suggested would be key for Louisiana Tech if the Bulldogs wanted to continue their home success against the Blazers: Win the rebounding battle Don’t fall behind early Tech was able to check …

North Texas Recap There may be no such thing as a moral victory, but Tech’s 19-point comeback to tie the game in Denton is nothing to scoff at. Especially when playing against perhaps the best team in C-USA this year. Or maybe it is something to scoff at. But I’m not 100% sure what a …

So here’s the plan. Each week, we’ll do a quick look into the men’s (and sometimes women’s) basketball program. We’ll recap the previous week’s game(s) and look ahead to the next week’s games. We won’t have a basketball contest up (this year, at least), but we all know Daniel Adams was probably going to win …
Taking a look back to see just how long ULL has been trying to remove an L
On July 9, 2013, EA Sports released NCAA Football 14, the latest in the annual college football video game series. The game was a mild success and it included features like conference realignment, a re-done dynasty mode, and most importantly a downloadable uniform pack that allowed you to use the proper red-T helmets for Louisiana …
Trades aren’t a thing in college sports. A coach can’t just go up to a student-athlete at Tech and tell them they’ve been traded to ULL. Not only is that not how things work, it would also be the meanest thing you could do to someone. But, like, what if you could? What if you …
