Half-time thoughts and stats

Things went about as well as expected for the Vikings in the first half against No. 1 seed Kansas.

Athletic department administrator and former softball coach Teri Mariani said she had hoped the team could keep it within 15 points but that “a couple of key mistakes” towards the end of the half helped Kansas claim a 49-26 lead.

Scott Morrison, Deonte Huff and Julius Thomas each had four points, while Tyrell Mara led the team with five points on 2-2 shooting.

Turnovers were a problem for the Vikings, as they lost the ball 10 times to only six assists. Meanwhile, Kansas had 13 assists and just three turnovers.

The Vikings need to calm down and start taking some more threes. While they were 10-25 from the floor, the team shot 4-10 from three, right at their season average. The second half starts in a minute.
