Early trouble
Since I don’t watch a lot of Big 12 basketball, I haven’t gotten a chance to see Kansas play that often. That said, they look big, mean and athletic–just like a No. 1 seed should.
While I’ve heard it’s a sellout today, the arena doesn’t look quite full. Still, it’s an impressive turnout and more people are still filing in. Most of PSU’s supporters, including administrators Lindsay Desrochers and Roy Koch, are located directly across from the Vikings’ bench.
It may be one of the worst sports clichés to say there is electricity in the air right now, but that’s the truth. The Vikings look calm and determined. Scott Morrison will tip it off against Arthur, who wins it easily.
Brandon Rush scores the game’s first points and takes a foul from Coston. The most noticeable thing so far is the increased speed at which Kansas plays the game. Coston’s three-pointer has settled things down and gotten PSU on the board.
A Mario Chalmers three and Darnell Jackson dunk extends the lead to 9-3 Kansas. Another dunk forces Bone to call his first time out. The Vikings need to score again to calm themselves down.
