Great game by everyone today. Really felt this was our best all around game.
Defensively we finally put it together for a full 40 minutes, there was a little lapse at the beginning of the second half, but that is expected on the road.
Scotty, what can you say, great performance. A complete player and a great Cyclone. For those that say he shouldn't go to the hoop, you found out why that is wrong today. He has really improved in his time here, from just a shooter to a complete all around player.
Royce was a monster again after a few tough games. Great job.
Melvin was solid yet again, all over the boards, fought those monsters down there all game.
Babb great defense, if he can ever make a few shots going to be really tough to beat.
Allen was good I thought, just a pretty solid all around game.
Booker and Bubu gave us some good minutes. I don't know why people are so critical of Bubu, he isn't going to come in and score 20 points. But he plays D and attacks. He clearly isn't 100% yet, but we will need him down the stretch.
And...we fought off the refs. If you really think about it that game wasn't as close as the score, some real hometown cooking going on yet again, but that is typical anymore.
K State just has a real hard time matching up with us. They really struggle with Scotty, and then obviously Royce. Which is odd since they matchup so well with Missouri.
