Hope everyone can make it down for this one. KSU is on a tear, they nearly upset Liberty in one of their final games of the year. We're gonna need to have some good offense in this one.

This game is exactly what we needed - found our offensive stride, exceptional defense and effort. Best first half I’ve seen in a long time. Hope the bench can play this 4Q but I would get why we may want to push the lead - it’ll help our NET ranking the more we win by.

61-28 is an incredible margin for a conference tournament game. Absolutely dominant

 

[MTLynn]

Too bad MT doesn't have any good players on the bench. they could play in this blowout

 

[tyler90wm]

I think our offense improves exponentially if Arike can sustain this offensive production and be even a slight threat at 3

LOL. I mean, we do... Insell just won't play them... Harrison literally hit a side-stepping, step-back 3 after getting in...

I agree and think we have as good of a bench as anyone in the conference except maybe Liberty.
