When Grant McCalsland took the reins as the chief trainer of the Texas basketball team, he knew that things couldn’t remain the same.

This also went to the Red attackers, descending from ninth place in the Big 12 Conference ranking, and he. McCalsland learned the protective principles from technology coaches before him, applying the same features to great success in northern Texas.

The average, however, also had the most slow crime in the country during the last season of McCalsland. This led to the NIT championship, but McCallesland was not naive enough to think that what she was working in Denton would also work in Lubbock.

That is why McCalsland continued after certain players in the transfer portal, not others, works hard to support certain players with Texas Tech and let others go elsewhere.

The early results spoke about themselves. Last season, Texas Tech Set Records for 3-point brands, attempts, free throws and points noted in the league game on the way to completing third place in the standings. Now the Red Raiders are doubled in these efforts and will need their powerful crime, which will come on Saturday when No. 19 Texas Viyeya visits No. 5 Houston.

“I think all the coaches have a great offensive mind,” said Darrion Williams. “They just put us in the right positions, whether we need to slow it down or go fast. We can really do both, so we just try to put the defense in the most difficult positions to go fast or slow.”

Williams’ condition for the game on Saturday must be determined. He missed the victory on Wednesday over TCU with what the technology classifies as a lower body injury. Williams (14.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.4 assists) wound his right ankle against the state of Oklahoma and on Wednesday played a walking shoe.

Entering the clash this weekend in the center of Fertita, Texas Tech (16-4, 7-2) is proud of the 12th Best Offensive Efficiency in the country, according to Kenpom. On the back of the attack from the inside out with JT Toppin (16.3 points, 8.9 rebounds) that kill the paint and likes of Chance McMillian (15.0 points, 46.2% of 3), Christian Anderson (41.3% of 3) and Ilia Hawkins (6.1 assists) processing of the perimeter, opponents had to decide which aspect to try to limit the most.

Many expected McCalsland to follow the same scenario he used in UNT. The opposite is reality.

“Why would you like to limit possessions,” said McCalsland, “When you have so much fire power offensive?”

However, Houston is proud of the best protection of the nation. Cugars have won 13 in a row, seven of these victories coming with 20 points or more. They are first in general in Kenpom, first in defense efficiency and hold opponents up to 55.3 points per match, the peaks in the country with two full points.

Physicality is Houston’s bread and butter, something McCalsland knows that his team will have to handle. The cougars won both meetings with Texas Tech last season with 23 points. Texas Tech has the insult to achieve a better result this time, but it will have to come with an additional focus in accordance with Cougars’s body.

“We have to be more physically and stand on the ground around the basket with these attackers,” McCalsland said after winning TCU. “When we are in rotations and get off there, we have to meet them in basketball with more power. We will have a great opportunity to do it on Saturday against the most physically the most physically in the Basketball College.”

Watch Player: Houston’s Christian Anderson in Houston and Texas Techno

Losing one of the best players in the country in Jamal Shee, Houston led to the transfer of Oklahoma Milos Uzan. -Baym winning series.

Uzan has chosen his seats when to provide spark offensively. He paid off with 17-point efforts in winning the double time last week in Kansas. It also has 25 assists compared to three turnover in the last five Houston games.

Freshman Christian Anderson came to a super McClesland provided before the season. His minutes continue to increase and he is regularly among the leading TECK scorers. However, Anderson has hit some road strikes in the processing of defense pressure. He did well against Iowa, who has a similar Houston’s protective style, but caught traps and double teams against Oklahoma and TCU.

Texas Tech will need everyone to withdraw the disorder, especially if Williams is aside again. How Anderson handles the most hostile road environment will be interesting to watch.

Result forecast: Houston 82, Texas Tech 70

Lower order: Not knowing Williams’ condition is an aspect, but Houston is also one of the best teams in the country for a reason. Texas Tech has made great progress in the last month, especially with defense, although Cougars have the right recipe to make a long evening for Red Raiders.
