Hopefully the flagrant 1 can have the same effect on us as Prohm's T did in Ames.

I think Butler can go back-and-forth between hot and cold about as much as Any college baseball player I've ever seen.

McGriff fouls out on a elbow to the nuts on Vital.

And the last player in the game without a foul now has one.

2 hours and 10 minutes after tip-off there are still 3 min to go.

How many layups have they given up in this game? 3 players foul out and still can't defend.

OSU should be happy to make us shoot FTs down the stretch

12-25... how can you be that bad from the FT line? I've seen retired people throwing it underhand who can hit a better clip than that.

In the days before instant replay reviews, we'd have a couple of blown calls and a game that ended at 6:55pm.
Johnny Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Just make the call already and let's play.

Our junior high coach made us stay after a game and shoot free throws until each player made 15 out of 20. Parents hanging around. Sure taught us the importance.

Hope the bears are playing attention. That's how you hit clutch free-throw's.
Jacques Strap
