Wow! And this from a kid who some of our more learned posters contend couldn't even break the starting lineup of most Big XII teams.

Pledger and Neal are both elite 3 point shooters. It's pretty nice to have, considering we haven't had a great 3 point shooter since Michael Neal's first season on campus, and probably Quannas and Hollis prior to that.

Who got co-honors and what did they do because those numbers are off the chart?
