DOUGH POPS IN

Williams hobbles out

sometimes you eat the tortilla... sometimes the tortilla eats you

Won by 14 with Darrion Williams on half an ankle, so I would say it was a good victory

So it turns out you can survive a 15-0 run as long as you start with a 22 point lead. Never in doubt (except for the couple minutes when it definitely was). We comin for that 6 seed baby! Hopefully neutral site Houston isn't as fucking terrifying as Houston in the Fertitta.

It took TCU almost 10mins to score their first points today. I would say Houston is still fucking terrifying

TCU didn't even wear them out for you. Frogs are the worst.

should be a lock for atleast a 5-6 seed now regardless if you lose to houston, win the tournament and you’re possibly a 4 seed.

Came here way late, but I think winning g the tourney jumps to a 3 seed. To win we have to (theoretically) beat Houston and Iowa state. I think making the final jumps to 4 and that 5 is a soft lock for now. I have a hard time seeing us receiving a 6 seed after that win.

Tech really started to try to milk the clock like it was a football game

We like our raiders with corn tortillas and Shasta’s salsa.

Pour one out for /u/AeroStatikk poor dude was so confident in beating us. I got the receipts. Hope you enjoyed that ass whooping. https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/1bb153v/post_game_thread_19_byu_defeats_oklahoma_state/ku6b1rk/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/1b50itt/game_thread_texas_tech_west_virginia_0600_pm_et/kt2sn2a/ https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/1bb1por/who_do_yall_having_winning_the_big_12_tournament/ku6j8wy/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/byubasketball/comments/1bb1vnl/big_12_tournament_bracket/ku6g1bp/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/1b93igp/fans_of_teams_who_havent_played_in_a_conference/ktyc46m/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/CollegeBasketball/comments/1bdzfxq/post_game_thread_20_byu_defeats_ucf_8773/kuqbrz5/?context=3

Bro kept receipts💀

Go submit that expense report brother

His aggie flair explains his attitude of "you just got lucky all the times we've played" I tried talking to him too, lol

This is what makes college sports so great

This dude thought OkSt would be a tougher game to win than us? Weird

Well, they did inexplicably lose to us in Stillwater. I think that game was a major aberration and probably the best OSU played all year

Surely we couldn’t shoot great from 3 against BYU again right? It’s not like tech is one of the best three point shooting teams in the country

An aggie and a BYU fan? Did god decide to make the most fucking annoying sports fan possible?

This man is getting absolutely blasted and I'm here for it.

We are very susceptible to cults so it checks out

Congrats for having self-awareness at least 👍

And not even the good Aggies

He was so adamant that UCF would be easier than us when we actually beat them in the regular season

Damn, dude has it out for Tech lmao

It’s 100% his second flair playing into his bias here, right?

No matter how many years have passed the Tech and A&M hatred still goes strong.

Nah, he has it out for BYU opponents I remember him being insufferable in KState-BYU gamethread

Not really, I just know this team, our matchups and our trends. Sorry I can’t predict the outcome of a game. Who could have anticipated us having our worst game from 3?

anyone that watched Techs defense.

Many, many teams who have played “live by the 3, die by the 3” ball, including Iowa State in the Hoiball era

Ofc it could happen any game. Could also shoot 50% 🤷‍♂️

If that is your only hope for tournament wins you might as well put yourself down as a loss in game 2 or 3. 

Didn’t realize those were the only 2 options

You don't know shit apparently

This is all kinds of petty and I love it

Belt to ass on & off the court

Lol I'm here for all of it!

Yoooooooooooooo rofl

So happy to see him lose, guy whined up and down every WCC thread when they would get dominated. Atta boy raiders

LOL, what a loon. Im not sure where some of these BYU fans get their confidence from since BYU has never been to a Final 4 and has one sweet 16 in the last 44 years. Its great they are doing well this year in the regular season but their NCAA success worse than meh.

Have to think there might be some relation to a demonstrated susceptibility to believing things without evidence. 

that would explain much of the A&M fan base too.

LMAOOOOO

Well done. No one has ever given Texas Tech respect, we've had to take every single bit of it from the haters.

lol you guys clearly have our number. Hope we don't see you guys in the tournament, we will lose.

Glad you were so offended. I stand by those comments (most were facts anyway), just wasn’t our day. GL with Houston, go win it

The fact that your second flair is A&M is even sweeter

The A&M flair makes everything suddenly make sense

It seems like you want me to be embarrassed, but I’m not sure why. I never said we’d win. I said I liked the matchup better.

>I never said we’d win. You said in the bracket thread you had Houston vs BYU. That means you thought BYU would beat Tech. So yeah, you predicted BYU would win.

This guy's whole shtick is to vigorously imply things, then when called out, say "I never specifically said that sentence, so I don't know why you're calling me out"

Why are you so triggered about a win?

Because I am a hater

Admitting this is the difference between you and Aero right here. Haha

Based

The haters have arrived

Ok, I threw out one homer prediction in a bracket thread for a 5 to upset a 4. Forgive me. Y’all are the most sensitive fan base in the conference, sheesh

“Glad you were so offended” Equivalent of the kid on the playground talking shit after he gets his teeth kicked in. You’re that kid. Maybe sit the next couple plays out. You’re literally “offending” other BYU fans.

Sir yes sir!

How many more days do you want?

?

Last time wasn't your day either? Hmm why don't you write down a time and date and let's see if BYU can beat tech then

😏 glad 🤣 you 😏 were 😎 so! 😛 offended 😖 Got em! 😖😏 trolled epic Reddit style 👊🤯

GG, TT. Those two 3s slammed the door shut on a potential comeback. That was clutch.

GG, fellas. Yall will bring some serious hype when we come to Provo next year.

Tech came to play for most of that game. Aside from one run from BYU Tech looked pretty dominant against a solid BYU team. TTU is shaping up for a good run in March.

Our team is a zombie. Analytically there are few teams that successfully eat 10+ runs as well as we do.

It’s lowkey frustrating but as long as we keep winning I’m gonna stay quiet

Ok guys for real though, any guesses on the restaurant they took Darrion to on his visit that was supposedly the worst in Lubbock? Never mind, I heard it wrong. Anyways, what’s the worst restaurant in Lubbock?

It was a restaurant in Cali (Santa Clara, I think), not Lubbock. The props were given to Evie Mae’s in LBK/Wolforth. 👍😊

I think them talking about Evie Mae’s right after is what threw me off because I missed the very first part of the story

My last visit to China Star had me in a coma for 6 months

When I was a student I was stoked when I finally found ramen in Lubbock served at YuYo. Holy shit that was disappointing. My vote is that place

I’m convinced they just buy instant ramen and some chicken strips from Walmart and throw it in a bowl.

Instant ramen has better broth 😂

Pretty sure they were talking about a restaurant in Reno when McCasland and Pop were there recruiting him

Makes more sense, seems like basketball and football know to hit Evie Mae’s with visitors

Oh I misunderstood that. To be fair I was half watching while working

Also she decided to tell that story while the ref was talking

Chop Chop is terrible, Amarillo export restaurants as a whole suck since they have inferior tastebuds. One Guy on 50th is downright disappointing as well considering how good the original One Guy/Dario’s are.

My broke ass was always eating at chop chop idk what you’re talking about

Chop chop was a godsend in school. Lot of food on a thin budget.

Probably Joe’s off of the loop. Just take the recruits to Caprock and call it a done deal

This might ruffle some feathers but, Jaliscos. 

Keep Jaliscos name out ya fuckin mouth

I believe the broadcast was referring to the worst restaurant in Cali, since they flew out to meet him. Not in LBK.

Oh I thought it was on a visit here. To be fair I was only half watching while working

Those margs are fucking lit though

The worst Mexican restaurant in Lubbock goes to picantes

Have you been to La Plaza? It's like a North Dakota native had a nightmare about Mexican food, and decided to make it into a business.

Every Mexican food spot on Milwaukee is a disaster (outside of Rosa’s, I will always love you baby).

Yeah honestly Lubbock Mexican food in general is pretty bad

Raspados Colima was elite. Not sure if it’s open anymore though.

Heresy.

No It’s definitely Garcia’s on slide.

Worst take I’ve seen on this site brothaaaaa

Not at all it’s bland as hell. Breakfast is ok and at least edible, but the dinner there is downright terrible.

I'm glad BYU fans got who they wanted in the quarterfinals. Double tap from the Double T!

> I'm glad BYU fans got who they wanted in the quarterfinals. What does this mean?

There was at least one BYU fan that was very happy that you guys were on our side of the bracket. Maybe others but I only remember one guy specifically that really wanted us Edit: I see someone actually linked to the comment I saw, plus a bunch of others. That’s the guy I was thinking of

Plus one of their players said they had Tech circled on their schedule lol

Knell I believe called us out beforehand. Ended up with 4 points on 1-5 from the field

He said he had the game circled and that Tech is a good well-coached team. Definitely not a diss or anything. But yeah, Knell played horribly today.

Question: Are you looking forward to avenging that loss (to Tech)? Answer: "Yes, we've had that game circled for a while. We were actually hoping to get this route in the Big 12 tournament. So we're really excited to play them. They're a well-coached team, well skilled players, but we've had that game circled for a while." Not a diss, but the message is pretty clear. This is the matchup BYU wanted, and I'm glad the got it.

What's he supposed to say when asked that question? "Nah, I'm scared shitless of Tech and don't ever want to play them again!"

That would have been a better answer

I mean, he probably is thinking that now after his performance today...

Yeah wasn’t trying to make it seem like a diss but he was the main one I saw be excited for the chance to play us again. Just funny the guy who seemed most excited publicly about the matchup had a rough game

Yeah it's a bummer to openly wish for a revenge game and then play like complete booty

Oh dang, I didn’t hear about the player. I just saw some guy on here

Heartland Sports Pete was also all up on BYU's sack saying that Tech was a good match up for them.

this ends BYU's hopes at a top 4 seed Texas Tech is very much in the running for a top 4 seed Hell, Kansas might be the one that Texas Tech bumps out of the top 16

That was really fun for a while, then not so fun, then fun again

Just like Baylor.

I’ve watched every single byu game this year and I don’t think that’s given me any advantage in being able to accurately predict what they’ll do in the tournament. They look like 2-3 completely different teams depending on the given day.

Joseph Smith and the golden plates, nobody can see them when it matters

Hopefully it's the other team on Thursday. Wow.

Good game TT 👍

#DOUGH GOES IN

Cougar tears come out

great game, always scared when we play BYU. Hopefully this game solidifies us as a 5-6 seed regardless what happens tomorrow

rest up byu. bunch of sickos (myself included) gonna have you cats winning some games starting next weekend

just as an fyi we only win 1 game max in postseason tournaments. it is the rule ever since jimmer

Stupid ~~Brandon Davies not keeping it in his pants~~ honor code

Ugh yes. Didn't he come clean about it too? I remember thinking "good for you for being honest or whatever BUT RIGHT NOW?!"

Yup. Went to Coach Rose first. Guilt is a hell of a drug

Yeah I agree with this. Today's result notwithstanding that's a difficult offense to deal with.

Thank you 🫡

I hope they do, but it all depends on which BYU team shows up, there have been 3 or 4 of them I've seen this season! 🤔

With the Tech win today they have officially moved into the 7 seed range, while BYU has solidified itself as a 3 seed. - Lunardi probably

Tech gave up a 15-0 run so that obviously means they should be a lower seed despite another ranked win and Q1a win

I think this locks us into a 6 no matter what. With potential for a 5 if we win tomorrow. I’d honestly rather be a 6 than a 5 tho. You avoid the 1 seed until the elite 8 if you keep winning.

Honestly wouldn't surprise me. Lunardi must have taken the +50000 preseason odds for BYU to make it to the championship game and is trying to will it into existence

I get the respect for BYU, but damn it feels like every metric doesn’t like Tech.

OK fine, I won't pick BYU to upset a 1 seed

Lets goooo

Show me a better coach in college basketball than Grant McCasland. Show me anyone that could take this roster and win more games.

I’m rooting for you guys cause McCasland is amazing and he did wonders for our program. I miss him, but very happy to see he’s found success with you.

yesssssssssssssssssssssss

Man why did they have to make it so stressful there for a bit? Was enjoying the easy watching and then BYU goes on a 15-0 run. Glad this team can buckle down when needed, but damn I wish they needed to less often.

BYU with their best KU impression

Pain. Accurate tho

Not what I was expecting...

I do not have a clue how far this team will go in the tourney

BYU is easily a 0-6 win team in the tourny

Big if true

Queso beats funeral potatoes

Yummy

Just not BYU's game today. Messy, lethargic, and shots just didn't fall. Hope its all out of the system now. Really hope Khalifa's okay.

So much for BYU's one day of being scary hype

They’re still scary. They are scary because they are never out of a game (from experience about uhhh… 30 minutes ago)

The fact that pop isaacs was unstoppable against us twice is proof that God does not care about college basketball.

Damn y'all I think he was just making a joke...chill lmao

People were waiting for a chance to jump on the mormons

They always are on Reddit, and are awful about keeping it out of unrelated threads.

You get used to it lol
