"The connected nature of how much JT Toppin wants us to win... JT's like 'hey we're still winning no matter what' and (the team) believes it."
@TexasTechMBB's Grant McCasland on regrouping as a team when JT Toppin went down with injury
Fascinated to see what @TTU_Baseball does in #Big12 play. Red Raiders played rough baseball the weekend I saw them, but have been MUCH better since. Linkin Garcia and others w/ a big night in a 10-5 win over UTSA to split that midweek series. Tech has Kansas at home this weekend. #intrigued
STUDENTS, SHOW THE HELL UP TONIGHT. WE NEED EVERYONE IN THE USA.
CALL IN SICK, SKIP CLASS, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO, SHOW UP.
TELL EVERYONE TO BRING SOMEONE TONIGHT.
When the committee did their top 16 reveal they moved @TexasTechMBB down a seed line because of the injury to JT Toppin. To that point the Red Raiders hadn't played without him so it was kind of a Kenyon Martin situation. Now they are 3-0 with a win at Iowa State. Can't deny results!
Texas Tech, which lost its star and All-American JT Toppin to a season-ending knee injury 11 days ago, just pulled off as impressive of a win as there has been all season.
Grant McCasland, man. This guy is so damn good.
Red Raiders just controlled the entire game at Hilton Coliseum and beat the Cyclones.
Jaylen Petty and Donovan Atwell made some HUGE shots after Iowa State cut the lead to 6.
