MCKAY OUT (for Texas Tech)

[CycloneBBFan]

Sounds like "Common Core" math. If I deduct myself = ?

There is little chance of losing to TT. The Okie St. game was ugly, but other players are going to start stepping up and in the long run this could all be positive for the team.

On the negative side is that all of this drama could have the opposite affect and start a downward spiral. I just choose to believe that won't happen.

I wouldn't say little. They'll miss Odiase like we miss McKay, but they are capable of beating us if they play well and we don't.

It's going to be tough to win down there. McKay had one of his best games this year at Hilton against TTU. Finished with 19 points and 14 rebounds. They are missing one of their bigs, but the one (Ross) who replaced him has been doing pretty well. Everybody for ISU has to really hit the boards. I just hope McKay has learned not to comment on Twitter about this, or talk to reporters until the suspension is over.

That is like saying take the golden microphone away from Rush.

why was his reply dumb?

note to McKay and immediate family :

~ stay the fk off of Twitter

He responded to a post that praised Prohm on sticking to the suspension. That was pretty dumb....

I know we 'can' win Wednesday, but how can you even spit this out? Have you not been watching this conference and especially our team this year?

Little chance?! you're setting yourself for disappointment. Can we win? Sure and I won't be surprised if we do. But this league is insanely tough and they aren't a bad team and they NEED a quality win badly. Any sort of win, looking ugly or not, is a fantastic win.

Congrats on the dumbest statement of the season. Hope you're happy now, or got the reaction you wanted. Nothing about winning at Tech will be easy, especially after this past week.

Tell me this isn't true....if it is, what did he send out?(i refuse to stoke his ego and follow him).

It wasn't about a tweet, just a dumb post in this thread.

I didn't know Odianse was out for then...that's big

Is he? I can't find anything about his anywhere.

"Texas Tech coach Tubby Smith will have to look elsewhere for frontcourt answers after losing 6-foot-9 center Norense Odiase for a significant stretch, according to an article in the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal.
Smith anticipates Odiase to likely miss six weeks after breaking his fourth metatarsal in the 76-69 win against TCU, according to theAvalanche-Journal article written by Krista Pirtle."

Side note. Ross leads B12 in free throw shooting at 87%. Hope we do not follow him.

That's freaky good, so I had to look it up and noticed on the B12 page they have him at 58-for-67 = 87%. Buddy leads the conf at 90%

Matt is shooting just over 90% having made 17 straight. Not enough attempts for leader though I think

Yep. Need 2.5 makes per game to be included on the Big 12 leaders list.

At home Tech has beaten Texas, lost to KU by 10, lost to Baylor by 3, lost to WVU by 4, Beat OSU. Not too terrible.

Really sucks playing there short handed.
