Postgame Extra: Opong Pings RSU Record Book
Robinson. Odoch. Opong. PING, PING, PING!!! The 'Cats senior sharp-shooting guard's final stat line read 13-21, 7-12, 10-12, 43 points in 39 minutes. What's the old phrase, "all records are meant to be broken?" Well, not only did Robinson double-O break the record, he absolutely shattered it...by 11. The previous single-game scoring mark of 32 had been reached twice, by former marksman Matt Kellog and career 1,000 point scorer Sylvester Spicer. His 7 threes also tied a single-game record. Opong's 43 point outburst was one more point than RSU had scored earlier in the week in a loss at Northwestern Oklahoma State in Alva. I spoke with Rob late Saturday night following the bus trip back from Fort Smith. Click the play button below to hear from the Kenyan-born and Canadian-bred who had a night most of us won't soon forget.
