KSU up 34-32 under 16 timeout

Diaz does himself no favors by dropping to the baseline 95% of the time and trying to hit that hook when he is behind the backboard.

Turnover number 14, this is rediculous

Can we start calling Diaz "Gumby"?

So ESPNU's halftime stats has Diaz with 16 boards. Maybe for the conference season. And then another TO

The offense and defense looked good again when Doc went with that look

29-27 Cat at helf. 12 TO's for NU. Cut it in half and cut the offensive rebounds by KSU in half and NU is probably up 6

If you would have told me at 6 o'clock, that we could be tied going into half or down two depending on this final possession, after turning it over 12 times and giving up 5 or 6 offensive rebounds. I would have told you, you enjoyed Happy Hour way too much

Other than Bear, who would you say is hot. Maybe Tony

Wow, this might be the best reffing combo we've seen. No calls on major contact and make up calls on the weakest things ever

Don't think he was set. Stupid foul because he had him pinned to the baseline wth under 5 on the shot clock.

25-23 under 4 TO. Stupid foul by Ubel. KSU shooting FT's when we get back to the action.

Never a big fan of the Ubel for McCray substitution

All of this, agreed

Turnover number 10 with nine minutes to go in the half. Manhatten repeat??

I love me some Frank Martin, makes Bo look like a Saint

Jeter doing what he does best, attacking the rim in transition, NU gets first lead.....and then promptly gives it back

That was a FLOP!!!! Almeida got the shaft on foul number 2

12-11 KSU under 12 minutes TO. Letting them play tonight for the most part

The BOUNCER is a FORCE

8-6 KSU under 16 TO

Bring in the big guy. And let him and Diaz go to work at the same time. Thought that was a good look for NU

I think he matches up real good. I figured Texas' more athletic quicker bigs would give him fits and he played awesomely. KSU's bigs are more physical, so we should see some good banging when Andre is in the game. Let's hope they let the big guys bang and not turn this into a two hand touch game.

As I said mmmtodd, probably setting myself up for disapointment. It is one of the few times of late I have actually like NU's chances. And yes the Texas game was bad at the end for FT's but the team is hitting something like 77% in conference play. The last couple of years that number has been closer to 50%. And for the Texas game they shot 72% for the game a couple of years ago NU wouldn't have been in that position because of all the missed.

+1. Ya got me moose, I damn near wasted good bourbon by spitting it on the computer gizmo when reading this. I think Bleacher Report did a Hot Chicks in sports list, I probably checked that one out.
