New rule this year: officials can call an "administrative technical" for flopping. Unlike most technicals, it does not count as a personal foul, and results in one free throw and possession for the shooting team. TAMU-C's Kalen Williams gets called, Phelps cans free throw.

Phelps looking much more aggressive offensively with K.D. gone

It's nice to have an offense that isn't completely reliant on the three.

Would like to see us play into the post, find out who CAN hit threes, and find out who are Alpha(s) are. So far, looks like Phelps. Let's not forget he was Texas Mr. Basketball in 2021.

After missing 5 straight FGs, TAMU-C has hit 3 straight — including a 3-pointer by Rosario — to close to 18-15

Efe Odigie is trying to take advantage of his size, but struggling — has hit 2 of 8 FGs

Refs letting them play tonight. Lots of contact.

So much for jumping on these guys early and blowing them out.

Why is Foster not listed anywhere? Is he hurt or?
