As always, TX looks really good on paper. Those are 5 talented players starting and they have good players off the bench. I think we will need to turn them over often to win. Other keys - will we get production from our bench? Barry & Dean have been limited the last 2 games. We probably need one, or both, of them to break out tonight. Earn the split with them and we remain 2 wins up in the loss column.

Maguirl needs to be huge off bench tonite

KSU needs to score at least one more point than Texas by the final whistle. How doesn't matter. Who doesn't matter. Just win the dang game.

[Section 12-2]

So far ksu looks a little tight but they're ahead.
