Yes, any of the 5 because I haven't been able to judge who I think he is yet. (I need another watching or 2)

Exactly what I wanted to see. We took a punch, and a big one, but we landed the last one.
Scotty...what can you say???
McGee...GREAT game! He's quickly becoming one of my favorites. Plays with intensity...ALL THE TIME!
Royce...17, 6, 6...in 27 minutes (without sweating). Anybody else think he could challenge for a trip-doub every time out there if he could stay out of early foul trouble?
Babb...it won't look like it in the game summary, but he played a whale of a game. Keiton Page had it stuck on automatic, but Babb stuck with it all night.
Ejim...he played hard when he was in there
I'll wait awhile before I hit the other end...

When a player like Page is going off on you, even when hounded, it is a nightmare. Bring 2 out, man open underneath. I was hoping to see Page hit the floor more to knock him out of sync. White finally did just that, but it was during shot, so timing was off.
Great win.
I know the pieces fit.

McGee kept us in the game and is the player of the game, IMO. Big shots and rebounds.
Christopherson is the clutch shooter, who tried almost too hard on offense earlier in the game and then let the game come to him at the end and hit big shots.
White is a beast, but foul trouble kept him somewhat at bay most of the game. Still, a great stat line.
Babb did what he could against Page, who was red hot. We will need his shot to start falling in more Big 12 games.
Allen had a quiet night, but glad to see he wasn't trying too much when it wasn't his time.

we are in sole place of 4th in the conference...a whole game ahead of the clump behind us.(Texas, Okie St.,Oklahoma, Kansas St.).
Nice to only be behind top 10 teams in the country in our conference...if the season ended today we'd be in the field. Need to beat Tech now, guys need to be focused and not look ahead to Texas and Kansas in the following week.

Incredible finish. I'll be honest, I thought we were done at 66-60.
Tyrus, THANK YOU! Awesome game all around. No way we win without him.
Royce, what can I say? Another good game.
Page...hate hate hate hate hate him. One more game against him is too many. Kills us every time.
And Scotty...WOW! HUGE at the end. You had to know that last shot was going in.
Hated that this game was so close, but a win is a win. Finally winning a game like that after all the ones we lost last year felt incredible. Hopefully this team has finally learned how to win. Could come up huge in a couple weeks against KU. Need to take Tech seriously Saturday. Can't afford a loss to them.

Tyrus did have a great game, and he's starting to remind me a bit of Ron Bayless. Great energy, good defender, deadly from 3.

I'm sure Page will just get another year of eligibility, he's only been at OSU for like 12 years.
Tyrus the damn virus. I like it.
''Make a move and the bunny gets it.''
Someone photoshop Tyrus in this.
I would just like to point out, that in some conversations I've had regarding these wins, I've come to realize that there are 2-3 important factors in having championship quality teams: Talent, Fundamentals, and the "Never Quit" Attitude. Of course talent plays a part as well, but good fundamentals and the right attitude can help make up the difference in talent. (Which is backed up by recent NCAA tournaments)
Basketball is a game played often enough that you can't expect to play completely perfect games every game and it's why when teams play "complete" games, it's considered one of their best of the Season. However, when you aren't playing perfectly and are making those mistakes a "Never Quit" Attitude can make up for it. As well as the "Never Quit" attitude leads to learning to win.
Reality is, it was OSU at home and we SHOULD have beat them by double digits. However, we didn't, that's because we didn't play well, but we never quit. We kept playing hard and we had players make clutch shots and our "never quit" attitude made up for our lack of hard play in areas. In recent years prior to this, I don't think we had that "never quit" attitude, we saw the attitude in last years team but we just didn't have enough players and were too gased. This year we've seen it at times, we've also seen them hang their heads as well. But finally that "never quit" attitude is paying off, and consequently I personally think we are turning that corner and are "learning to win" too.
I think that we have all the pieces for a championship team, even without a true PG. We just need to get the fundamentals down, play with more intensity and focus, and keep playing with that "never quit" attitude.
So, do I think we have plenty of things to improve on? Yes. Do I think we should have won by more? Yes. Do I think that what happened tonight is good for our team? Definitely. Am I happy we won? Absolutely.
