 ATB: Good Grief Savannah State!  Links3
Recap . Only one game of note tonight ( aside from OSU’s usual title game loss on the gridiron ): Kansas St. 85, Savannah St. 25 . Yes, that’s the correct score. KSU outscored Savannah St. 48-4 in the second half, who managed to set a new record for futility in both shooting percentage (4.1%) and points scored in a half during the shot-clock era (since 1986).
