Good win. We played about 30 really good minutes, and I thought the effort was pretty much there consistently. I thought our defense was great all night, and it helped that Tulsa didn't attack much and missed shots. Defensive rebounding continues to drive me nuts.
Mo can continue to be an effective offensive option if he makes a move and sticks with it. The time and complexity that some of his moves entail typically lead to turnovers or traps. Hope he continues to attack quickly or pass back out to the guards.

I understand some frustration with the occasional AG play, but he controls the game and his defense is WAY underrated. Dude locks up guys and doesn't foul. GREAT defender. That decision up 17 on the break though was nearly catastrophic. He's going and SHOULD get a long leash because of the commitment he's made to WSU.
Trey Wade was VERY solid tonight. Played within himself, efficient, tough and against excellent defense.
Mo was great. Period. Give the man his groceries.
Gotta LOVE CJ's energy. Gotta control CJ's energy.
Dex plays so hard. I kind of wish he'd show more positive emotion, but I think that's just him being him. Love that kid.
RCIV my goodness young man.
Tevin had a huge 6 minutes. He guarded his ass off and they were big minutes. Hopefully he got a feel for how he can help this team, because he definitely can and we may have to demand he does.
So Tyson...…..Not sure what to say here. He might be the toughest player in the league, he's certainly one of them. He might be the best defender in the league, he's certainly of them. He might be the most charismatic, he's certainly one of them. He might be the most marketable, he's certainly one of them. Right now though he's the BEST player in the league, and in my mind it's not debatable. There's a word or name I want to use, but I can't because it's not fair but this kid has it ALL, right now, and he is a freaking joy to watch.
These guys played their hearts out tonight against a pretty darned solid team. Wish they could play in front of a full house. They deserve to hear the support of a rockin' Chuck.

Really a good win, Udeze best game as a Shocker. He’s really improved on his free throw shooting to where it’s not a liability. His footwork is improving and he seems to really want to be the number one “5” man. We have the guard play to really match up with most teams, and we’re young with Etienne and Council. Wade has been playing better as of late and we need him to be good to very good more often and we will be a pretty good handful in the American.

With the 19 point win, Wichita State is a legitimate frontrunner in the American. Wow!There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, and everything else is cream cheese.
