Pryor had to chase from way outside on d. On the offensive end, that was a nice tap out to save the possession.

16-7 on the boards. LSU is bad at rebounding, but if we can board like this the rest of the year . . .

Nice rebound by Kent. Glad I could say something good about him after that hideous attempt to pass to the baseline with a shoulder high line drive pass through traffic.

I'll take 75-54.

Nice hang time by Mark.

We're shooting poorly, but board dominance has us up. Then LSU hits a banked three with a foul to try to cut it to 2.

Picturesque step back jumper by Tre.

Pryor in early. Drives and scores. LSU misses again. Larry feeds Shedrick who gets fouled again. 9-4 Texas. TV timeout. Good start, even if we have gone to Shedrick a little too often.

Johnson feeds Kaluma in the corner. Shot fake to get open. Nails the three.

Shedrick misses the open three, a weird shot for us to work for. LSU scores, draws a foul, missed the ft. Back toShedrick in the paint. Misses from 2 feet. Shedrick has taken all our shots so far. LSU on a jam. 4-4.

Shedrick runs the floor, gets rewarded, and draws the foul.

Shedrick on the drive, and we're 1/1.

Or if make all our first chances, I'd be good with that, too.

LSU is completely crappy at rebounding. Here's hoping we can get a lot of second chance baskets and prevent them from getting any. Auburn took 29 more fga than LSU in LSU's last game.

OU won the second half 61-27. Woof. That was at least the four game this year in which OU torched the opponent in the second half in Norman. It was losing to Northwestern State at the half and won by 16. We were killing them in the first half and won by 4. It was in a close game with South Carolina, then outscored them by 20 down the stretch. Now today.

No kidding. 18-2 run.

Northwestern lost 75-69. Fork. Edwards was red-hot early, then took a bunch of dumb shots before hitting a fall out of bounds to the baseline fall away shot to put Vandy up 4. OU went on a run late in the half helped a little by refs swallowing the whistle on OU's defensive end. Auburn 88 Mississippi 81, Auburn shooting ft with 27.8 seconds left in a game that has taken about 15 minutes to play the last 2. Refs really should have called it a flagrant one on the last foul. Deliberate grab of worst ft shooter before Auburn inbounded the ball. Made both . 90-82. Auburn clears the rebound. Beard gets a technical on top of it. Mississippi sent guys to the free throw line to rebound. Refs erase the first make because Mississippi players weren't supposed to be on the line. Huh? Now they are trying to give Mississippi the ball after the made technical. Double huh? Finally got it right. 92-82 final.

26-15 Vandy with 9:30 left in the half. Dead silent crowd.

Vandy up 15-8 with 15:22 left in first half. Arena is almost half empty. It's early, but that probably doesn't bode well for Porter Moser.

Missouri is crushing Mississippi State 71-45 with 8:53 left. Neither team played a lick of d on the last possession. Gates was mad about it. Jans called a timeout after MSU scored, but I didn't get to see his reaction when Missouri calmly dribbled the clock down on its possession and drove for an easy layup.

Pitt hit a 3 at the buzzer but lost 76-74. Teams shot a combined 42 ft and missed only 2 of them.

Either I missed something or Forbes just wasted a timeout. Wake had 2 left. Refs were reviewing an out of bounds call. After the ball was awarded to Wake, he called timeout? Huh? Then Wake couldn't get the ball in, and it had to call its last timeout. Better get the ball in this time.

Capel can't believe his player wasn't allowed to reach through the driving guards head and shoulder. Wake up 5 with 17.8 left, Pitt shooting ft

Wake steal, transition, pulled ball back out, ran clock, missed corner three. Pitt took a poor 3 quickly. Wake rebounded and had a snow bird for a layup. Pitt got ball to a big man near the elbow, one dribble, pull up jumper good. 70-67 with 49 seconds left. Wake ball.

Wake just worked the clock with some beautiful passing to hit a wide open three as the shot clock expired. 68-65 Wake with 1:42 left.
