1 for 6, 5 fouls, and I believe 2 TOs in the last 3-4 min isn't a good sign.

That 3 was huge
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

A few minutes ago it felt like we weren't ever going to score again....feels like we've found our footing again
Jacques Strap

Not likely to get calls driving to the hoop @ KU so I hope we nail some threes.

Also agree with boog

Yeah the 3 min stretch where nothing went right was a bad sign, then teague's 3 lit a fire. Vital being vital man, damn fun player to watch.

Yep when we get a step and go to the basket they can hack with impunity and the no call is like a turnover.
