Screw these refs, keep playing good on Offense and lets take this huge road win home.

Give it to Maston down low.

When Al doesn't fumble it out of bounds or charge he is so good driving to the bucket. Huge layup to go up 8.

against Jo? agreed, if so. bad no call

1st FT good, 2nd good.

KSU pressing a little... we break it

Getting a baucket there would've been huge.

Instead 4 point swing.

I think our guards got a chewing. 3 starting guards have 45 combined pts today. Keep that up and we will be hard to beat anywhere.

ISH needs to take that deeper in the lane and not stop when he gets by the double team in the corner. Led to a TO but if he took one more dribble he had an easy shot or dump off.
