We didn't realize there was a 42-1 run during the game. But unlike Idaho which will be in the WAC basement for some time, LT has reinforcements ready and waiting, major reinforcements for next season. It won't make this season any easier but fans in Ruston can already see the future.
Should Rupp have done more to stop Texas Tech's 42-1 run?

Texas Tech's 42-1 run against Louisiana Tech last week started discussions about how many timeouts the coach of the team with the "1" should have called during the spurt that spanned the last 10 minutes of the first half and the first nine of the second half.
Bulldogs coach Kerry Rupp called only one timeout as his team fell behind 58-13 on the way to an 86-31 loss. He sounded like a coach after his team fell to 1-5.
"We got taught some hard lessons tonight," he said. "There are little things we have to do as a basketball team. We can't come out and not contest shots. I give them credit; they did some good things defensively. We have to compete at the end of the day."
The NCAA record book lists the largest scoring run as Utah State's 37-0 run against Idaho on Feb. 15, 2006. The longest run at the start of a game against a Division I opponent was Connecticut's 32-0 burst against New Hampshire on Dec. 12, 1990.
