Anybody just see at the 4:20 remaining in 1st quarter Kristi Wallace "finger-whistle" for some help to in bound?

God, I love Kristi Wallace's game-day headiness.

Lady bears leading 41-30 about 3 to go before half

KState shooting enough 3's well to hang around.

52 points at halftime for our ladybears.

thanks, nein. I'm not intruding on game reports. just sidebar for me.

We've never seen K Wallace ever run out of gas. after a half season of playing point and max game minutes, I'm sure hoping Jones' absence doesn't put Kristi in a leg-weary place--especially (hopefully) vs. UTex tomorrow.

After this weekend, she can go non-stop for a two game weekend for the next three weekends should we play all the way to Dallas and finals.

I wish they could bottle up the FT shooting from today - they are likely to need it at some point in the tournament! Hopefully today is just the beginning of a new trend at the Charity stripe

Weseman for KSU may have broken her arm in the tie up with Cox.

Hoping not for the KSU player. She is a good player.
Excited for Lady Bears to move on!

Not sure I've ever seen a D1 wbb player who was NOT INJURED who has shot two airball free throws from the line stripe (didn't even airbrush the outside net they were so short--Lewis #22 KState BIG.

It's what gives college women's bball such a "weak" image among even crossover fans from the men's game.

As it should. C'mon Ms. Lewis--at least draw iron on a free throw.

Congrats ladybears. Nothing to HAVE to prove vs. UT (probably) tomorrow. If we shoot the 3 well from the get go then I like our chances.

Does anyone know when Jones might return?

I am guessing we save Jones for 2nd or 3rd round.

Good win. Didn't dominate like regular season. Seemed like KS missed a dozen free throws.
