I believe Wes has been treading the line between "massaging" the roster post Brannen and imposing his will on the team. The last several games looks more the latter and it may be our turning point in the rebuild. Circle the Houston game on our court Sunday, January 8th.

I'm more interested in how they look against Tulane, at Temple and at Wichita State.

UC lost all three of those games last year. Winning those games would be a huge step in the right direction.

Huge is subjective. Temple is awful. Wichita and Tulane are about on our level.

But aren't all of them better than the three recent games (at least)?

Temple is a weird team. They beat the two best teams on their schedule. (Rutgers 22 kenpom, Villanova 53 kenpom). They lost to the worst team on their schedule (Maryland eastern shore 291 kenpom). They are one of the most unpredictable teams in the country.

Sounds like every Temple team ever.
