Guys need to stay focused. Can not get caught looking to far ahead or behind. Take it one game at a time. All team goals are still in play. Win league outright, Win conference tourney, secure a high seed and advance in NCAA tourney. Losing to Houston and WSU will mean very little if we can win out. It may push us from a 2 to a 3 seed but a 3 is still better then anyone posting here thought we would get before the season started.

STAY FOCUSED CATS!!!!!!!

Like you I don't think Sundays game will be close but I am concerned about our defensive execution, rebounding and our 3 point accuracy. Need to get thing ramped back up. The key to a Tourney run is finding yourself as we get close to the Tournament not playing worse. Guys need to get it turned around.

I agree we can't change our mindset and look past anyone right now. Obviously WSU is a game on everyone's mind.

It's our last home game and it's senior night so I don't think it will be an issue against Tulsa. I want to see Kyle get his energy back!

Win the next 2 and at worst we split with just Wichita State?

Would be good to have the pressure off going to Wichita.

I would love to win it outright by beating them on the road but I'm not going to lie...I am rooting for them to drop a game before that. Too much on the line. Solo Conference championship. #1 conference tourney seed. #3 seed in the dance, etc. If they (WSU) win out...it changes ALL of that.

Playing on the road on senior night against 6 seniors to a team that already beat you does not inspire a lot of confidence. We should have taken the home game but we did not...so to me it's more about the consequences right now.

I will say in years past, Cronin has made some decent defensive changes when playing an opponent for a 2nd time. But it don't mean a whole lot if you don't make those offensive changes, like letting Cane broome get a lot of minutes with starting personel.

Tulsa is on a 6 game winning strreak, rebounds the ball well on the offensive side and also is elite at getting fouled and scoring from the free throw line.

I think we win. But it will not be pretty if Evans and Cumberland are both slumping.

They have 6 guys shooting 36% or better from 3.


I don’t expect a blow out even on senior night
