OK, it started. No call when they mugged us, and quick whistle against us on incidental contact.

Freeman needs to be removed from the starting lineup. Start Lindsay and stop the turnovers with no loss in scoring.

These next two possessions are huge. If they tie it up here I can see then running away with it. Refs showing their blue colors now too.

Need to keep feeding Motley. Transition defense will be key this half.

True to form, refs hooking up Ku in the second half

I think the refs goal is to get them into the blnja by the under 16 timeout.

Fouls: 9-3

The way KU is mugging us, it should be 9-23.

Just need to stay close till about 5 mins left and our depth will pay off. KU is going to wear down.

Ok bull**** fouls aside, if Jo is going to be the focal point on offense....
