*less* hustle mark. we don't need them scoring with the clock not rolling down.

if we finish this out...#1 when the rankings come out? wins over butler, nova, 'zona....away wins against tech and kansas - i think there is legitimate argument 15 games into the season this is the number 1 team in the nation



Absolutely....I remember 2 years ago when we reached #1 and then for spanked by WVU that same night.

If we get #1 I think we can hold it longer this time

Miss and 2 fouls in a row in about 30 sec isn't smart play. 3 easy points for KU and basically no time off the clock.

Smart ball movement and some clock usage would be amazing to close this out
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.

I wish we could have a do-over on that game. A dull spot in such such a bright season so far.
