This is shaping up to be a really big one. If we can take down Tech, that would be an insane three-game stretch, beating three Q1 teams, two away and one at home. Won’t be easy but after seeing what this team did on the road this past week nothing is impossible or even improbable.

Also lurking out there is Arizona, who’s unranked but just beat Iowa St and are currently second in the B12. They had a good run in the NCAAs last year too. Not sure why they’re not on anyone’s radar, though after Monday’s game I’d be shocked if they continued to be unranked.

Those unis look like practice gear to me, someone photoshopped this over a year ago and it would have looked so much better with some trim.

Should Sharp be playing limited minutes or is he going to rest?

I want to see more of Arceneaux playing 30+ minutes.

How do we Know?

I want to keep winning. But I would also think about sitting Sharp. Starting Saturday. For the next 3 games. Get him ready for the final 8 game stretch.

Looking at TT they only played 7 guys tonight. They have two bigs one being stopping who is their dude.
Overall not much size without any bigs off the bench. They have a couple three point shooters in their starting lineup and two guards off the bench with good shots for us to cover up. Toppin is good but having Tug and J’Wan to matchup is a good thing. The three ball may make or break their chances against us.

if we are considering resting him in the regular season, these next 3 games is the time since at very worst we should be going 2-1 in those even without sharp imo and after that we have 3 away games with iowa state sandwiched between

Want him ready for March. Idc about having him for an early February regular season game.

They’ll be ranked this week if they don’t lose before Monday. They’re getting national attention after Iowa State.

Win Saturday. Let Sharp play if he can go. Then rest against oklahoma State and let him miss the road the road game in Colorado and be in Houston ready to play on the 10th against Baylor. If he needs longer then give him longer but we really need to secure home court Saturday for a variety of reasons
