Roy just got rocked and socked by FSU.
The bad for you Roy.
What do you call it when the other team touches the basketball when you are trying to shoot? This is not a joke.
There are nights like these that the word Chenowith makes me proud.

Great way to start a semester leading off SportsCenter 'cause we lost to the Spiders.
I just wanted to say that I think Jeremy Case is really fine. I just wanted to know if he had a girlfriend.

Cleaning for a cause
Ashlee Widler, Clearwater freshman, Eric Schlickman, Chicago sophomore, Andrew Olive, Lincoln, Neb., freshman, Bobby Wroe, Cape Cod, Mass., senior, and Andy Schuttler, Olathe junior, used leaf blowers to clean up popcorn, candy and paper Saturday night in Allen Fieldhouse.

Kentucky comes out on top against Notre Dame
The Associated Press
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Chuck Hayes scored 21 points, Gerald Fitch added 15 and No. 9 Kentucky scored 44 points inside to defeat Notre Dame 71-63 Sunday, its 10th straight victory over the Irish.
The game followed a familiar script for the Wildcats (13-2) as they opened a double-digit lead early and then held on for the victory. Notre Dame (9-6), which trailed by as many as 15 points in the first half, used a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 66-63 when Chris Quinn made two free throws with 67 seconds left.
But the Irish missed their final two shots and Kentucky scored the final five points.
It marked the fourth straight victory where the Wildcats, led by double digits, let their opponent get back in the game and then won.
Kalenna Azubuike added 14 points for the Wildcats, who shot 53 percent.
Torrian Jones and Chris Thomas each had 16 points for the Irish, who have lost three of their last four. All three losses were to ranked teams — a three-point loss at No. 8 Pittsburgh and an 11-point loss to No. 13 Syracuse.
Kentucky, which improved to 8-0 on the road this season, pounded the ball inside repeatedly during a 16-4 run early, going ahead 18-9 on a rebound basket by Fitch. Erik Daniels scored six of the 10 points the Wildcats scored inside during the run.
The Wildcats extended the lead to 32-17 when Hayes scored inside. Notre Dame scored nine points in 98 seconds, with Thomas getting five, to cut the lead to 32-26. But the Wildcats scored the next seven points and led 39-27 at halftime.
Tom Timmermans added 10 points for
Wake Forest slumps to fourth straight defeat
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Tim Pickett scored all of his 18 points in the second half Sunday and Florida State made six straight free throws over the final 45 seconds in a 75-70 victory over No. 10 Wake Forest, which lost its fourth straight.
The win was the second in four days over a Top Ten team for the Seminoles. Florida State (14-5, 3-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) defeated No. 7 North Carolina 90-81 in overtime on Thursday.
Wake Forest (11-4, 2-3), which lost to Texas, Duke and Georgia Tech, led throughout the second half until the final minute.
Todd Galloway's first points of the game two free throws with 45 seconds remaining, gave the Seminoles the lead at 71-70.
Adam Waleskowski and Pickett each added two free throws in the final 18 seconds to seal the win
Saturday's Big 12 Action:
Quin Snyder hopes this is the breakthrough he's been waiting for.
Missouri, one of the preseason favorites in the Big 12, was in danger of falling below .500 Saturday night against Nebraska. The Tigers missed 14 of their first 17 shots and didn't reach double digits in scoring for almost 13 minutes, trailing by as many as 10 points in the early going.
Then the Tigers (8-7, 3-2 Big 12) took off, finally putting it all together in a 72-51 victory.
The second half was all Missouri, highlighted by a 29-2 burst of dominance during which Nebraska went eight minutes between baskets. Leading the way was Rickey Paulding with 19 points and a perfect 6-for-6 at the free-throw line after his struggles cost Missouri in an overtime loss to Texas at home on Tuesday.
Now, the test will be whether Missouri can build on that effort. The Tigers play Wednesday at Colorado.
"I think we've been gaining over the last few weeks," Snyder said. "The Texas
game can knock you back, but we played well and I think we played well topight
"When you play well,you should gain confidence."
In other games Saturday, No. 24 Oklahoma State held off No. 16 Texas 72-67, No. 18 Texas Tech remained undefeated in conference play with an 80-78 victory over Texas A&M, No. 20 Oklahoma ended a four-game losing streak with a 61-49 victory over Kansas State and Baylor defeated Iowa State 63-59.
Missouri began the season ranked fifth and rose to third in mid-December before faltering. The Tigers have 12 regular-season games remaining plus the Big 12 tournament - plenty of time, they feel, to right the ship.
"Nebraska is a good team and we kind of put it to them a little bit," center Arthur Johnson said. "We're working at it, and every day we see it getting better and better."
Freshman Thomas Gardner added 17 points on 7-for-9 shooting for Missouri, matching his career high, and Johnson had 10 points.
Nate Johnson had 11 points for Nebraska (11-5, 1-4), which has lost four of five. The Cornhuskers had appeared dangerous after defeating Baylor by 26 points on Wednesday and losing by two at Texas last weekend.
