Feel free to comment on the Decensae White situation here in this open thread. I still find it fascinating and am curious as to what exactly happened.
The Numbers:
| Texas Tech | Statistic | Sam Houston St. |
| 19 | K.P. Rank | 93 |
| 110.1 | Offensive Efficiency | 95.4 |
| 75.9 | Defensive Efficiency | 85.3 |
| 61.0 | Points Scored | 66.5 |
| 56.0 | Points Allowed | 51.0 |
| 28.0 | Rebounds | 55.0 |
| 14.0 | Assists | 12.0 |
| 16.0 | Turnovers | 16.0 |
Keys to the Game:
- Develop A Rotation: It's only the 3rd game of this very young season, but I'd like to see a little consistency in the starting rotation develop tonight. Guys have received minutes in one half, and then not received minutes in the other. Let some guys develop.
- Get Zeno On Track: I said in the game review from the SHS game that guys were standing around waiting for Zeno to do something, but in this instance I want guys actively working the offense to create good shots. Those shots will in turn create opportunities for Zeno which will make his life heaps easier.
- Watch Kingsley: The Lumberjacks' center is already averaging 22 points and 8.5 rebounds a game. Suljagic will get an early test as to if his game has improved to the point that he can be effective on defense, which we're pretty sure that he can, and still be an option on offense as well.
