Team is showing some massive Jekyll & Hyde tendencies.

The shooting tonight is awful. Corpus defense collapses around the paint to take away easy inside shots, need to hit some outside shots to open the middle up.

Lindsey has to have a good +- tonight. Seems to settle the team down.

Marston seems to be finishing a little stronger and defending a little tougher this year

Looked like Clark tweaked his ankle. Doc went over there and checked in and walked away pretty fast. Probably OK.

Solid win without playing anywhere close to our best... finish was strong

poor offensive showing overall. But defense did its job. Holding a team under 50 and less than 40% field goal percentage along with only putting them on the line 4 times. You can still win games like that when your offense doesn't show up. Only 8 turnovers also is good.

Nuni brought out the gnarly with that slam!

Won by 24 tonight so that should successfully knock us out of the Top 25. Won by more than 40 last Friday and dropped in the rankings. Respect will come against Kansas if......IF.

I noticed that too and we usually fare better in the AP. Odd.
