impacts name team voting
I don't know where Blalock is going to end up in the voting, but I really like him. (Curtis) Stinson made his name a little quicker, but (Blalock) impacts their team more than anybody.

They're just very, very strong. I know (Sunday) was probably disappointing for them, but just looking at them on paper and the consistency they've played with throughout Big 12 play, they just don't have a lot of chinks in the armor.

Obviously, we don't have any momentum going. We're finding ways to lose instead of finding ways to win.
