After tonight, we should probably celebrate February 8th each year as "National Melvin Ejim Day".  Well, at least a state-wide holiday if not a national one. 

48 points, 18 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist. 

That was Ejim's official stats for the game against TCU today.  He was an amazing 20 of 24 from the field including 2 for 2 from long range and 6 for 6 from the free throw line. His 48 points were a record for the Big 12.  It seemed like quite a few of his points came from alley-op dunks, and the Horned Frogs simply could not guard him. 

Tonight Elizabeth and Nolan came with me to watch the game.  This was Nolan's second time watching the men's basketball team at Hilton, and it was the first Big 12 conference game that he's been to. 

Tip-off between ISU and TCU

We had Nolan wear head phones so the noise wouldn't be too loud for him.
