    and in some ways, the virginia team reminds me of the spurs 2014 championship team in that both were out to exact revenge on disappointing results from the previous season. uv was very focused all year long.

    "The bettor (who didn't wish to be identified for this story) wanted more than $1,500 on Texas Tech, but SuperBook director John Murray declined. "He's a well-known player who takes a lot of futures positions with us," Murray told ESPN. "He asked for more, to which we said, 'No.' I think to win $300K is pretty good."

    The bettor settled for a $1,500 ticket on the Red Raiders at 200-1 odds, for a payout of $300,000.

    Almost four months later, that ticket was one game away from cashing. And despite an offer from Dez Bryant and another for $125,000 on PropSwap (a secondary marketplace for sports-betting futures tickets), the bettor let it ride. Texas Tech lost to Virginia 85-77 on Monday night in the championship game.

    He made other college basketball bets, including several on Virginia winning, so he still won some money. But he'll always be contemplating what could have been if Texas Tech had won.."

    1. No tears. This whole season was cake with extra frosting.

    2. Culver sucked bad last night. His draft stock won't drop but Tech needed him to step up and he Browned it.

    2a. The rest of the team balled out. Very proud of all of them except Culver.

    4. That one call in ot where the ball went off Moretti was the swing for Virginia. And then that drive and kick to the corner for the 3 was genius. Tech was completely sold he was going up for layup.

    5. Virginia was just the better team. Amazing that Tech managed to hang around and not go away there in the 2nd half.
    you're telling me. I remember watching them early on when they were beating up on the small Texas D-II esque schools when I was trying to get a feel for the team. I remember looking at Mooney in particular, and thinking it was going to be a long season if we we were going to have a bulky white guy from South Dakota starting at guard. Fast forward to now, and it's beyond insane to see how much he accomplished this season

    "Beard signed a six-year contract that will pay him $4.575 million annually, keeping him under contract through the 2024-25 season. His annual salary is now the fourth highest in the country, behind Kentucky's John Calipari, Duke's Mike Krzyzewski and Tennessee's Rick Barnes, according to USA Today's coaching salary database...."

    That's something I completely missed. I wondered if there would be something involving tortillas being thrown about in the student section area.

    Probably the greatest regular season win ever.

    It's bad ass to be sure, but not as sweet tasting as I thought it might be. I liked beating Kansas more last year.

    yep didn't see that one coming. I'd have to agree, especially from a coaching perspective. A win over the #1 team in the country without your best player and a goofy-looking unathletic walk-on having to play half the game.

    It would cost $16.5 million to fire then hire Beard.

    I know that's car ashtray money for some ut boosters but they'd still rather put that money into the foosball.

    He might leave Tech but it won't be to Austin. I like your Beard watch thread though, keep bumping.

    "
    Seats for Texas Tech’s basketball game against No. 15 Kentucky Saturday at United Supermarket Arena are going on average for almost $400, according to TickPick, the secondary reseller with no fees.

    At the moment, the Tech-Kentucky game is the most expensive basketball game in the world, including the NBA. The average resale price is more than the Nets-Lakers game in Brooklyn on Thursday. The average price for that game is $318.66..."

    Jesus Christ they're giving away free beer tomorrow starting at 10am

    "Calipari seemed taken aback by the news Friday.

    "They're giving free beer to students? At the game? On campus? Wow," Calipari said. "I mean, it's been hat day, cap day, shirt day, black out, white out, red out, and now it's beer day. I had not heard of that before."

    this year's Texas Tech team is the classic "high effort/energy" team with no playmakers that will get bounced in the first or second round of the tournament. Although I don't know if they will even get in at this rate. They're obviously a quality team but they don't have that go to guy this year which is costing them all these close games.

    you know you're screwed when your midget, spot up three point shooting white guy has to go one-on-one with the game on the line because nobody else is capable of stepping up tbh imho. Holyfield/Ramsey have disappeared faster than whottt after an m>s sighting
