Two buzzer beater losses and now this.......the rest of the season will be interesting to see if we have just quit or.....

It’s like the players have quit. Their energy has to be gone after the emotional toll they faced the last two games. And this one is not helping the ego.

Yup team of underclassmen that have lost all confidence. Will be surprised if we make the tourney at this point. Need to go like 7-1 the rest of the way likely... That's not happening how they are playing

Houston is a terrible matchup for Wichita, though. Luckily for Wichita, they don’t play us any more. I can see you guys winning the rest.

they recruited him. smu was seen as a favorite for a while too (he talked in interviews about it being home and his families legacy w SMU, in older interviews)...he supposedly changed his mind after the visit to houston

Total bull$h!t. Jank didn’t want him.
Fire Jank.

Hey: Dracula bite anyone yet today?

I think they wanted him, they just wanted other guys more. But I do believe your story.

Jank’s assistants did their part, as they should. But Jank couldn’t be troubled. But hey: LOL....he already had CJ White in the stable. Don’t get us started on Jank’s recruiting blunders.

Just let Stevenson shoot the rest of the game. Get his confidence going.

I don't see us winning the rest of the way. We go to Cinci and that be a guaranteed loss. We probably see another blowout meeting Houston in the tournament. I am still going to DFW either way

Alright Stevenson has Houston just where he wants them

Same with SMU. Hope springs eternal but reality’s gonna win. I can see SMU screwing up FOUR seasons here: WSU, Memphis, UCONN and their own.

Make sure you get a burger at Rodeo Goat. You’ll thank me.

Positives from today : not the worst loss in conference this year (thanks Memphis!)

Negatives: everything else

Real reason for optimism in Greenville going forward.

Don’t we only have 1 spot to fill and no seniors?

It's college basketball and I should remind you of what happened last spring. The key is to keep the core. Do that and we can absolutely take a massive leap.

Key is gonna be actually landing a JUCO or a grad transfer who's good. Suggs and Newton exceeding all reasonable expectations helps lessen the blow of all the JUCO's being much worse than expected, but every single one of the 7 JUCO's has been a disappointment in some way.

Freshman Tristen Newton is surging right now and is clearly the 2nd best player on the team. For the season he's 2nd on the team with 9.8 PPG, leads team in assists with 3.8 APG, and is tied for 2nd w/ 4.0 RPG but over the last 5 games he's bumped up those stats to 15 PPG , 5.5 RPG, while maintaining assists average. ECU's really needed a 2nd player to step up and it says a lot about his character that he's rising to the occasion as a true freshman.

The 3rd and 4th best players respectively are Freshman Brandon Suggs with 9 PPG, 3.5 RPG & Sophomore Tremont Robinson-White with 7.9 PPG, 2.4 APG. Along with Sophomore AAC POY candidate Jayden Gardner (20.5 PPG, 9.6 RPG), that is a nice core of 4 players that are all underclassman. ECU needs to add some quality perimeter/3 pt shooters & more quality size. However, if ECU can get just one really good outside shot maker and add one more solid big that would perfectly compliment its young talented 4 core players listed above.

That probably needs to be a tournament thread. Places around that arena to eat and do. I've started looking to see

You're welcome Coogs.

- UCF & UCONN

Worst loss since 2003.

Having not lived in Cowtown since 1984 I can’t offer much. But having been there for a quick trip recently I’m here to tell you it’s a top 5 burger for me.

1 Bid league if Houston wins the tourney...

Man who'd of thunk it.

Wasn’t able to watch the game, but UCF shot 57% from 3, our best total all season and Darin Green finished with 26 points! DeJesus also had a good game with 18 and Ingram had 12. Easily our most complete game of the year.

Lol. What are the chances of Houston winning the tourney? This season has been absolute chaos around the country.

the goal for Wichita to finish out the year, is to get a resume to get in the tourney without needing a Houston win in the conference tourney

too many people look at wins and losses as better or worse..when its often just about match-up....i dont think wichitas guards are good against tall guards..evidenced by the fact that half their shots werent even kinda close..it wasnt an off-night..it was a can't shoot over 6'5 point guards kinda night..same thing happened last game....houston had a similar weakness when we had galen/corey/rob lineup
similar to the current houston teams having a weakness vs zone teams

do enough to not need a houston win. and when you're in the tourney hope you draw a team with smaller/average sized guards
