21 boards? the dude must have glue on his hands...

[Adidas410s]

Tech is down to shooting 33% tonight (20% in the 2nd half) and only 30% from 3pt range. The early 3 point shots were keeping them in the game but don't expect them to keep this one under 10 much longer. That Kevin Durant...he's pretty good! ;)

31 points 22 boards with 4:15 left in the game

Texas 70
Tech 58

4:02 left in the game

In the 2nd half of the game...it's Kevin Durant 18 and Texas Tech 16. This is the first 30 pt, 20 rb game in the history of Texas basketball.

I know the NBA has this tendency to want the big guy over the guard or forward in the draft, but there's no way on the Good Lord's green earth I'm passing on Durant to take Oden if I were a GM. Durant continues to make that one and done college rule look ridiculous. He and Oden have no business playing college basketball.

I disagree. I like the rule and I even think it should be 2 years. Very few players make a successful transition from high school straight to the NBA. A few years at the college level is VERY beneficial to these guys before jumping into the elite. Durant is very good, but he still has flaws in his game that would have been exploited in the NBA. Playing a year of college ball will fine tune his game and will make him a better player in the NBA, more so than jumping in with the sharks.

The thing that got me about Durant last night was all those perimiter shots he was knocking down. :eek:

yeah...he keeps improving his range every time I watch him play. He's shooting 47% from 3pt range in the conference!!! :eek:

Way to go Horns!

:clap: :clap: :clap:

[JasperDog94]

If he can continue to develop his shot, he's going to cause all kind of mismatches at the next level.
