Ben Richardson came out of the locker room at halftime with the same scoring power he did in the first half.

With 16:54 left in Saturday’s Elite 8 game against Kansas State, Richardson was fouled while shooting a 3-pointer.

After Richardson’s 3-point shot and free throw, he totaled 15 points, hitting 5-of-7 from the field and 4-of-5 from the 3-point line.

Below is Richardson’s first shot of the second half which gave the Ramblers a 43-29 lead over the Wildcats.
