Maston lost his scholarship and earned it on the same night.

I almost posted that the 3 might be the end of it, but TJ Maston!!!!!!!!!

Another wasted possession. How hard is it to get TJ the ball with time to work?

How does Manu walk it up like a Granny when we have plenty of time to get a 2 for 1? Un f'ing believable.

One stop without fouling... they have made every free throw all night.... get a stop.... get a board.... we win

You know this ball is going inside. Double to help Jo and pray UT misses the jumper.

Agreed. Despite the stupid technical, he earned the right to touch the ball every possession.

I think college teams are slow to the 2 for 1 concept because most college coaches want control of what the team does

This game easily shaved off 8 years of my lifespan. Don't know if my health can tolerate anymore of those.

Jo with a pretty bad game but there when it counts. Maston made my 22-26 point prediction come true. 6 B12 wins now. Beat Tech and we're back on the inside of the bubble.

How big was that three pointer before half that was changed to a two!

I just hope they still come out playing like there's nothing to lose against TTU. It's how the 2014 team got on such a roll. Sucks to have lost all those close ones but, without those, we may play tight and lose this game and Stillwater.

On the flip... how big was the basket interference on UT that wasn't called

Maston saved the Bears. Good win (despite some of the lapses in regulation and OT). Glad Manu didn't end up being the goat.

How about the fact that, at half time you can change a 3 to a 2, but you can't change an obvious Goal Tend from a 2 to a 0

Not many get how much this team lost when TJ Maston broke his hand right before Conference Play started in the toughest conference in the NCAA


He has only been what he was for the last week or two.... how many close loses are wins with a full speed TJ Maston?

several
