tarleton state basketball

[jason]

on saturday beat baylor 95-85 @ baylor

lost @ a&m last night 71-62

tsu was down only 5 with a minute and a half left and was up late in the first half.....

keep in mind tsu is only div 2....

and both a&m and baylor are in the BIG XII....

before the a&m loss, tsu had beaten 4 division 1 opponents in a row - including a win @ tcu 2 years ago....

wonder why no big time schools will play at tsu??....

Did you realize that Tarleton has 4 Division 1 transfers? One from St. Johns and one from New Mexico. Exciting times for Reisman and The Texans!!!

besides the football team, none of the other sports could compete in division 1...

Will Tarelton make the d2 playoffs in football?

Will Tarelton make the d2 playoffs in football? if they beat west texas a&m this wknd - they tie for conference champs and they are in - if they lose, i guess its up to some committee to decide who gets in - their only loss is to top 25 abilene christian in a 70-63 shootout a few wknds ago...

Going to be really tough to find a conference that will just let you compete in basketball first then allow the other programs to follow.

tarleton's bball team is pretty good obviously....they shot lights out to beat baylor, it was actually ridiculous how well they shot...i think it was something like 58% from the floor for the whole game and 80% from behind the arc in the 2nd half...that was what killed baylor....last night they didnt shoot near as well against the aggies thus they lost...if you can go out and shoot 58% and 80% behind the arc in the 2nd half every game you will probably win 9 outa 10 times no matter who you play....some good talent in tarleton's program

Texas A&M had a rotation every 3 minutes trying to get everyone to play and game-time experience, not exactly trying to run the score up. TSU is a good basketball team though, I'm not taking that away from them.

yah...i think baylor did the same, it is an exhibition game...however im not sure baylor would ahve beat them in a real game if they shot like they did the other day against us...im serious it was simply ridiculous, i hope i never see another team shoot like that against us again...

i didnt watch the game, only saw it over gametracker but it was tsu's guards that killed us from what i was seeing...we just got behind and no matter what we did tsu matched it, some of that was probably our bad defense but still, 80% from behind the arc is quite impressive no matter if its bad defense or not....
