This century, teams were 0-640 when trailing by 8+ runs in an NCAA softball tourney game.
It's now 1-640. Texas Tech was down 8 runs WITH ONLY ONE OUT LEFT and somehow became the first 🤯
I know this isn't how coach of the year voting works, but I've probably been more impressed by Grant McCasland than any other coach this season.
His team has overcome so much adversity this year, in the most mind-boggling ways.
Down 17 to Duke with only 6 rotation players? Win.
Best two players out or in foul trouble on the road against Iowa State? Win.
Texas Tech has the best wins in the COUNTRY.
#1 Duke (N)
#2 Arizona (A)
#4 Iowa State (A)
#5 Houston (H)
The Red Raiders have beaten four of the current Top 5 teams and have a 4-1 record vs Top 5 opponents 🤯
.@TexasTechMBB is the only team in the country with two wins over current projected 1 seeds (Arizona & Duke).
Also have a win over my top 2 seed, Houston.
Best trio of wins in college basketball.
A seismic win for Texas Tech at Arizona.
This offsets the Red Raiders' home loss to Kansas a few weeks ago.
And Donovan Atwell?
THE LEAST APPRECIATED TRANSFER IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL.
31 and 13 for JT Toppin.
His life = video game.
15 things money can’t buy:
1. Your Kids SEEKING your company when they’re adults and no longer need your financial help.
2. The first time you experience someone believing in YOU
3. The moment you find leaks in your way of thinking. This is a sign that life is about to improve if you choose to make the changes.
4. Being missed for who you are, not what you provide.
5. The look someone gives you who trusts and loves you.
6. Genuine respect from loved ones and enemies.
7. The ability to sleep calmly after making a big decision.
8. A night of laughter with friends and family that lasted hours.
9. A sincere apology given or received. Received feels better, but given strengthens the right relationships.
10. Someone praying for you without you asking for it.
11. Character under pressure.
12. A spiritual relationship with God.
13. Being misunderstood for A VERY LONG TIME until people come back saying you were fair and right. (This one is priceless)
14. Having footage of people you love who are no longer here. To be able to hear their voice and their mannerisms is priceless + comforting.
15. Inner peace in the wake of being in a chaotic phase of your life.
These are in no specific order.
Future looks bright.
