Dave in Green Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 A little positive news for the Zips: Louisiana Tech was trying to tie the Zips for the season's longest winning streak at 19 last night, but they were thoroughly beaten down (78-60) at New Mexico State. So it's still possible that when the season is over the Zips will have had the season's longest winning streak at 19. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave in Green Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Thought I'd add this post here as it's also about Louisiana Tech and shows how quickly things can go from promising to disaster. Louisiana Tech was riding an 18-game winning streak and was starting to get similar national attention to what Akron had been receiving. After losing their last two regular season conference games in a row, they were still seeded #1 in the WAC tournament. Last night they were upset in the WAC quarterfinals 73-65 by #9 seed UT-San Antonio. So in three games they went from bubble team to no chance of an at-large bid to an early exit from the WAC tournament and the end of all hope for an NCAA tournament bid. Success can be so fragile.
