Wichita State at UConn Pre-Game Discussion

[wichshock65]

“I think we have a good aura, a good vibe around us right now,” senior Christian Vital said. “It was a tough start on the road to conference play, but we came home and we got a win and now we’re just looking to build on it.”

Due to the fact that I don’t ever foresee UConn scheduling a home and home with us, this will be our last road game there in a very long time. Let’s beat them soundly and leave Storrs on an up note.

Anyone hear about this?

"Among that group is Dexter Dennis, a talented wing who against Memphis played just his second game back from a head injury sustained in December. Dennis came off the bench Thursday to grab a team-high eight rebounds, four of which were offensive."

Never heard about anything remotely close to this. It's gotta be true since no one in the media would ever publish anything that wasn't true. Right?

Did Dennis really sustain a head injury?

Seems like an insensitive way to describe mental health issues, but that’s ESPN for ya.

If we go inside, I just hope they recognize that the bad guys are even better at swatting away shots than the Tigers. Not sure we can see lightning strike twice and get away with it. Surviving 9 blocks a game two games in a row would be quite a feat though.

Yah, our bigs have a MAJOR problem of passing the ball back out of the post if a good shot isn't there. They get it and it seems like if they do, it's automatically going up, come hell or high water.

I watch the way Houston double teams the post and that issue will have to get rectified before we play them.

Man, Gregg saw something on the tape and he was like, “Just keep feeding Jaime.”
