Kansas State/Texas likely to turn on free throw shooting
Both Kansas State and Texas are into the bonus now, and free throw shooting could very well determine whether No. 5 Texas or No. 4 Kansas State advances to face Baylor in tomorrow's semifinals.
A moment ago, Texas extended its lead to four on an old-fashioned three-point play by Dexter Pittman. The big man backed into the paint and hit a turnaround hook going to his right and drawing the foul. Pittman hit the ensuing free throw.
On the following possession, a workman like effort by Jacob Pullen cut the lead to two. After a missed shot and an attempted assist from the seat of his pants, Pullen came up with a rebound, a bucket inside and a foul. Pullen will shoot after a media timeout.
