Since this thread has some talk of remaining conference schedules, Ill put this thought here: Wichita is a scary team right now. Their schedule is VERY easy down the stretch and with way they are playing they could win out and finish 11-7 in the AAC. I would not be shocked if they somehow got a top 4 seed in the AAC tourney and could do some damage in Memphis. They've beaten Baylor, UCF, and Providence on the season, so you know they can beat people.

They are 4 games back of UCF and 3 games back of Temple. It would take a perfect finish along with somewhat of a disaster for one of the other two teams. That would be a Shocker!

I wouldn't say they are an easy out though no matter what seed they get. Marshall has them playing well but the 4 game win streak they had coming into UC was SMU home, Tulsa home, ECU away and Tulane home. Those are the bottom 4 teams in the conference. They played us well then they went and destroyed Tulsa on the road so who knows.

We really need to win this UCF game if we want to maintain/improve our seeding the rest of the way.

With the game being at home, I think the Bearcats win by 8. Our bigs haven't finished at the basket all year, so I don't know that having Taco is a huge threat to our game. He would effect Williams and Broome driving to the basket, but I think Williams is athletic enough to still attack and be effective.

Ultimately I think we hit 3's tonight. I think Cumberland is Cumberland.

I am really excited for the game tonight, hopefully the shoe has a better atmosphere than the WSU game on Sunday which I am just chalking up to a 1pm game on a Sunday. 7pm weekday games are usually more rowdy than a Sunday day game. I am optimistic we take this game.

Cheers to a fun game tonight boys.

100% Agree. This feels like a game we score 75 with most of the work coming from 3's and FT's.

Tacko is shooting 35% at the free throw line. If he gets the ball on the block, he should be fouled every time. I wouldn't mind Diarra getting some decent minutes to absorb fouls.

So what you’re saying is he will shoot 100% tonight?

Probably. I suggested fouling Durr, Yetna, and Rideau in the USF game, who all shoot below 60%. They went a combined 18 for 20 in that game.

Offense is really clicking.
