Positives

  • 23 offensive rebounds (43% of our misses) is a great number
  • Won the turnover battle 17-11
  • Hoisted an incredible 22 more shots than Kansas State
  • RayJ Dennis with a solid floor game with 8 assists and 2 turnovers
  • Defensive efficiency now inside the top 50

Yikes

  • 9-19 from the free throw line.  Our guards in particular (Dennis 2-4; Nunn 1-4) have to make their free ones.  KSU scored 8 more points at the line.
  • Some really boneheaded fouls (or called fouls).  We have to play smarter.  
  • 5-28 from 3 (2-21 outside of Langston).  We end up shooting 25-76 from the floor (33%).  Woof!  We are too good for that. 

Frustrating game, don’t let one loss become two.  Beat Texas!
