Hey! We have ourselves a conference winning streak!

Hepa’s stats look good.  Hopefully he continues his improving trend with increased  minutes,points, boards.  Now I will continue my season long rant on Baker launching missed 3s.  Saw he was 0-2...please stop shooting from outside and get your 7’ ass in the paint.  Focus on rebounding and defense.  Wait, can I be a candidate for the coaching gig once Shaka is canned?

Shaka teams can beat anyone when they shoot well.  The problem is they are typically poor shooting teams.  
 

I didn’t watch, but I’m guessing we shot well tonight?

I didn't watch either.

15-32 from 3. Pretty freaking good.

 

[TB14]

My biggest concern is our 2 conference wins come against teams with an 0-8 record in the Big 12.

It wasn't on TV so I wasn't able to watch it. Hoping to catch the replay on the LHN.

It basically same down to Hepa hitting open 3's. They left Hepa open a number of times, challenging him to hit the 3. Tonight he did, so cheers to the young man for rising to the moment.

Not looking forward to Saturday, though. We're going to get smoked.

Didn’t watch it, I’m glad we won. Doesn’t change my thought process. #fireshaka.

Baker on the other hand missed all of his 3s as usual.  Go get some rebounds and block some shots...

I'm not seeing a replay scheduled on LHN. We may not get to see that one at all.

Yea, I've noticed that too. ?
