“We are excited to play against TCU on Tuesday,” Tech coach Grant McCasland said in a Tech Athletics news release. “What's really important to us is how much we can improve on defense. How well can we rebound the basketball? If we can continue to make progress in those areas, we'll get to where we need to get to.” I thought our players were great. It's important to not turn the ball over and give them baskets in transition. They're an active team that is good defensively. It's important for us to take care of the ball and take great shots. It will be.”

“They have a real foundation in how to play the game,” McCasland said in the release. “They are playing the game better and more efficiently. I think in the first game we gave them comfortable shots, but we can't do the same anymore. We have to make things harder. yeah.”
