Exactly, he had an insane game last year and we still won. I'd be very surprised if he has even close to the game he did last year. That being said, he will get his points regardless. Macura has been their X factor this year and slowing him down might be key to the game. We know how firey he can get in games like this. In the end, I think we have the heart and we are just too talented for them this year. Will be a good game but wouldn't be surprised to see a score similar to last year with a little less drama.

All this talk about Blueitt and Macura make me want to vomit in my mouth a little bit. I understand they are good players and probably have even gotten a little better this year but neither has finished a single season above 20 in PER. We had 4 last year above 20 in PER (per sports reference).
They are off to a fast start but it's not going to be like that all season. Blueitt had a career day against us last year. They have a good team and it won't be easy to get a win there but it never is. Let's worry about the Cayman first and let a few more games play out. |

Bluiett was 12/15 and 9/11 from 3 in last years game for a total of 40 points, yet shot 37% from three last year. He didn't score above 27 for the rest of the year. Cut him down to his season average of 25.3 points and the final score is 86-63. Obviously thats not scientific, but it shows how ridiculous he was that night and we still won by 8. |

What was Wichita State in the preseason? Why do they lose twice and get #11 but we got bumped to #25 after our 2nd loss?

Think they were top 5. But yeah look at Kansas, lost on the road to untangled team and fell 1 spot. And both our losses are quality, rankings can be such a joke. Either way glad we are back to ranked in both polls, two cupcakes this week and a few more losses for everyone else we can make another move. I honestly think if we play the way we should we shouldn't have to worry about even getting close to losing a game til February. If we really handle business we don't have Wichita til late Feb, we could go undefeated the next two months
