Dear Tech Fans

Last week I wrote a letter encouraging the LA Tech Nation to come out and support us in our Western Athletic Conference showdown with Fresno State this past Saturday night.

I knew we needed everyone's support in this game.

Well just like our basketball team which won one of the most exciting games ever played in the Thomas Assembly Center, YOU DELIVERED!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being our sixth man that night. More than 7,000 fans turned out to watch the game, the most in a decade. The community and university came out in force to support our team - YOUR team - and our young ladies fed off the incredible energy that filled the arena.

You guys were beautiful! You guys were electric! You guys were truly our sixth man.

You helped us successfully PROTECT OUR HOUSE!

I hope you truly understand what your presence means to our young ladies as they take great pride in representing this community and this great University. As big of a win as it was for us, we still have plenty of work remaining and we need your continued support this season.

We currently have a two-game lead in the Western Athletic Conference race with seven games remaining, including four more at home. We need you in the stands cheering us on the rest of the way as we continue to work towards the WAC championship and a bid to the 2011 NCAA Tournament - which will be hosted in Shreveport/Bossier City.

Please mark the following four dates on your calendars and make plans to come out to the TAC and support us: Thursday, Feb. 17 vs. Hawaii, Saturday, Feb. 19 vs. San Jose State, Thursday, March 3 vs. Boise State and Saturday, March 5 vs. Idaho.

Our basketball team will continue to work and play hard regardless of how many people are in the stands but as was proven this past Saturday night, YOU are a big key to our success.

Thanks again and Go Tech!
