Happy Thursday Y’all!

The Toughest Team won last night.

That would be the Texas Tech Lady Raiders taking down Iowa State in Lubbock Wednesday 71-63. A really nice home-court win against previously unbeaten in Big 12 play ISU. The Lady Raiders are building.

The Toughest Team won last night.

In Houston that would be the Cougars who controlled the Red Raiders from start to finish en route to a 77-54 beating to get Texas Tech it’s first loss of the year in Big 12 play.

I’ve got my voice back finally and can go a full broadcast tonight so we’ll recap it all during The Daily Broadcast at 6:30ish LIVE on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook Live. See ya then.

We’ll move on to the Hot-Links for today. Lots going on.

Jerome Tang gets a lot of credit for relating well to the fans at K-State.

But nobody has their finger on the pulse of their team’s fan base quite like Rodney Terry. Lose, then cry that the opponent didn’t kiss your ass. Perfect coach for that fan base. pic.twitter.com/xX3gTLZNL0

Sorry Texas, no one understands why you think Horns Down is an atrocity. Congrats UCF on their first road W in Big 12 play. https://t.co/kTePryFgrd

Horses in a corral at the SMS ranch near Spur, Texas in 1939. If you look closely, you can see that he's got one roped.
