Nice to get an easy win over an undefeated team

 

[Die4Cy]

For all the young guys on the floor right now, they show real good instincts on defense.

And they seem to be figuring out how important post feeds are offensively.

Keep on building.

Wiggy and lard are going to be the two Prohm recruits that build his dynasty. Now if he just doesn't leave....

Wigginton may leave early but it won’t be this year.

 

[1977clone]

trying to remember if we ever had a game where three freshmen lead the team in scoring

 

[Cyclonepride]

Good game. Would have been 40+ if open shots had been dropping earlier.

 

[UraMallas]

That felt great. Glad there was a basketball game on after that KSU debacle.

 

[1977clone]

others have said it before me, but time to have Beverly coming off the bench and starting either Lard or Brase

 

[Die4Cy]

Nice exhibition by the youngsters in this one. Wigs, Lard, and Lewis all came up big.

 

[madguy30]

Still doesn't cleanse the pallet but nice to see a win.

Not sure if it's possible vs. a thin bench but Wiggi, Lard, DJ, NWB, and Young is the best line up right now.

Lewis looked smooth and comfortable.

This team will be alright.

Sucks that prohm says hey run some offense... and Jackson shoots a guarded 3...hopefully he’s ok with with just being a piece to the puzzle because he isn’t going to be “the man” on this team.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Those freshman to freshman fastbreak baskets had me smiling again.

 

[Cynonymous]

That was a fun half to watch especially with the young guys getting some good play

I get your thought, but it's nice to have Lard's energy off the bench too.

I see that switch happening a little down the road. Maybe around the start of the B12 season or half-way through.

Also, I'm still unsure what Talley brings to the table.

Agree. Our 1st half shooting was not good. Made up for it in the 2nd half. Lewis had a great 2nd half!

 

[CloneGuy8]

Lard and Wigginton looked good. Babb quietly with 10 assists. Lewis got confidence. Good game for us

 

[BoxsterCy]

Listening to postgame. Nick sounds like a coach. It's good when your PG sounds like a coach.

I do like this young man and so happy to see him doing so well after the role switch ups.

Defense is coming along. That's crucial since poor/off shooting nights are going to happen.

 

[mjhavlo76]

I wouldn't rule-out an NCAA Tourney berth with these guys. May not be the high seeds of teams past, but I think they are certainly on the right track. Early though. Let's see what the Big 12 gauntlet brings...

 

[clonedude]

Wigginton may leave early but it won’t be this year.

We don't know that for sure yet. If he keeps on playing like tonight, who knows?
