Kansas City – regardless of the result of Wednesday’s game between Baylor and the state of Kansas, TEXAS TEXAS TECH GRANT MCCASLAN would be on the opposite edge again as a colleague.

Due to the beating of Jerome Tang’s Kansas state team in the second round of the Big 12 Conference tournament, he will be his old chief, Scott Drew, who will be the one who will try to make Raiders Raiders in McCasland in the quarters of Thursday.

But the family links between the two teams do not end there. Texas Tech and Baylor also have similar settings in their curtains with veterans – Elijah Hawkins for Texas TechJeremy Roach for Baylor – being the guiding voice for the first talented in Christian Anderson and The Red Raiders and The Red Raiders and The Red Raiders Bears‘Robert Wright.

Baylor Bears guardian, Jeremy Roach (3), sets the game around the Kansas State Wildcats Guard Dug McDaniel (0) in the first half at T-Mobile Center.

Hawkins and Roach are equipped to deal with these duties, producing a leading voice in their days growing in the Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia (DMV). Hawkins, originally from Washington, DC, attended High School in Dematha, while Roach grew an hour to the north -west by the Leesburg, Virginia’s capital.

Roach, a year older than Hawkins, has experienced Texas Tech (24-7) dot Guard when he was at the elementary school. While Hawkins was in Dematha, Roach – and Kansas State dug McDaniel – went to Saint Paul VI. The men’s point of view saw a lot of the other at that time, with their schools, both competitors in the Washington Catholic athletics Conference.

“This is my guy,” Roach said. “I’m not talking to him daily, but when we see each other, we throw each other.”

Roach left the bench on Wednesday and finished with nine points and a team of five assistance in Baylor’s victory over Kansas. Back on February 4, when Bears (19-13) visited Red Raiders in the regular season, Roach was returning from his second emotion.

Texas Tech ended with a 73-59 victory in Lubbock, causing Drew to sound Raiders Red a Four -caliber final team.

“I feel like you were amaging there,” Roach said about the first match with Texas Tech, “but he only made a few key mistakes in the big time and we can’t do that, especially in March.”

Like Hawkins, Roach is proud of his roots and expects them to be more juice at Thursday’s match because of this.

“We get a lot of pride in our game,” said Roach, “especially DMV boys. We had only a kind of edge, that drill for us, so we will definitely be a fun match tomorrow.”
