Games like this is why Mooney and Owens chose to transfer to Texas Tech for their final season of collegiate basketball. That second half was a tournament game effort from both of them and from our team.
The final numbers show a team that can play lock down defense and flip to another gear on offense when they need to.
USC has some good talent. Boatright is an absolute man and Porter can score. They are long and athletic. We broke them by being just as long and even more athletic. 23-32 in the 1st Half and then
55-31 in the 2nd Half. USC didn't know what hit them and it showed.
Culver 18 points 9 rebounds 5 assists
Left some points out there but the alpha is beginning to show.
Owens 18 points 3 rebounds
Dear Lord! I don't ever remember seeing a Red Raider jump any higher than he did on that alley oop when we began to take control
Mooney 17 points 5 rebounds 4 assists
We began to see the whole package tonight. Against that 2-3 zone Mooney flashed post moves
Moretti 17 points 3 rebounds 2 assists
He will get those charge calls again and even though a few idiots on RRS always love to criticize, his game is really good and he does some things that look so clean and smooth. One of the best we've had since Stan Bonewitz at seeing things and being able to do something about it. He broke ankles several times tonight
We got 8 points 7 rebounds 2 assists out of the rest of the team. That will have to be better tomorrow night versus Nebraska but this team will be entertaining and fun to watch.
My four will be back at the Sprint Center tomorrow night. We'll be the ones trying to get a Raider Power chant going. We are (2-0) as a family this year in "Kansas" as we were there in January for our win at Phog Allen. Tonight was fun!
