We have certainly gotten the benefit of officiating this game.

You're joking right? I didn't see that at all.

That little girl was all over Kane, and he finally put his arm out to keep her off of him. That would have been a travesty if they had called that a flagrant on Kane.

All in all, we played about as bad a 2nd half as we could have and still found a way to win. That's the good thing. The bad thing is I think we were exposed quite a bit. We've got some serious weaknesses that we need to work on.

Not sure why Edozie didn't see some action today with our rebounding issues. I think he would have helped. Kane was never comfortable all day long. He was forcing things.

At least we won. Winning on the road is never easy no matter who you are playing.

TTU made 4 3s in a row to close things, but after that they went back to TTU. I wonder what the deal was with Hogue today? He did not play a lot, and when he was in there he was not very good.

Hogue had the flu prior to the game according to John Walters and Eric Heft. He definitely wasn't in beast mode today...

So why didn't we see Edozie in there then? We desperately needed rebounding today.

Seriously, guys, never, ever worry about a Big 12 win. There are plenty of things to work on, but winning in that hell hole that is Lubuck Texas is always tough.

Great win today. Enjoy it---we are 13-0.

At some point we are going to lose and at this point it will probably be an upset. We are going to have to accept that fact.

Baylor will likely abuse us inside with their bigs, and will destroy us on the boards unless Hogue can get feeling better and him and Ejim both somehow get double digit rebounds both.

I always like our chances in Hilton, but Baylor will definitely provide a huge mismatch for us on the inside. We will have to have a good shooting night to beat them, but that is likely always going to be the case.
