    Tulsa @ Wichita State Pre-Game Thread

    Tulsa 12-9 (3-6) @ Wichita State 9-11 (2-6)

    Another game against teams with no glaring strengths or weaknesses.

    Looking at Kenpom conference ratings on Tulsa

    1. Terrible rebounding team both on offense and defense
    2. One of the worst 2pt shooting team in conference
    3. They are one of the best if not sending team to FT line, but are also on of the best to get there.
    4. One of the best 3pt shooting team in conference.

      Points three and four are what can spell trouble for the Shocks.

        Using your logic - if we had played any better we could have won by double digits....a win is a win

      I agree.

      Fortunately Tulsa is also not a good road team (1-6) and that eFG% is about 10% lower on the road - but Shox can't let them get going.

            Do we have a new weapon(s) with the Torres/Great Dane connection??? Possibly!!! That's gravy all day for an extra 10 points a game! And if Samajae gets on board with setting up the Great Dane as well...watch out!!!!

            Some other guys swallow your pride every-once-in-a-while and GET the ball more often to the White Giant - 82

            Non-coastal team for some reason called the Golden Hurricane - 69

            GO SHOCKS!!!

              Golden Tornadoes might have been more appropriate.

              They get a lot of rain so maybe Golden Showers is more appropriate?

            I wouldn't get too excited about it just yet. It worked for a half against SMU until they changed their defense against it. At least Torres knows how to run it, so we have that going for us.

              True dat. But it may be a start...or a part of of our new found arsenal. Hopefully. Crossing fingers...

                We won against SMU that was one. Win against Tulsa that would be two in a row. Win against ECU and that would be a winning streak. It has happened before.

                    As long as we stop DaQuan Jeffries, we're winning by 15. Tulsa is trash outside of him.

                      Would be nice to have a comfortable win but I don’t expect it and obviously happy with a W in any form.
