This is true. Both Wichita and Cincinnati control their own Destiny. Neither team needs help from another team to win the conference outright.

Again, we lost twice to Evansville in the same year we went to the Final Four. This was our first glaring sign of mortality. Our defense needs to be ratcheted back up (this is clear) and we're not taking advantage of our incredible depth. Last night we should have run SMU's legs off with their roster issues pressing every second of the game.

Evansville? Have not heard that name in ages. Does Evansville still wear those hideous purple softball jerseys? Those were awesome.
Evansville (The Purple Pimps) is hideous in many respects, not just their colors or wardrobe. They really burned us badly in 2012-13 though. Sometimes you just don't match up particularly well with a team for some reason. I really hope that isn't the case with SMU, although I'd rather match up poorly with them than Evansville... FML.

He doesn't want to play at Tulane with Dunleavy. . TBH neither do I. That just became a tough road game that won't carry national recognition even if will be a good game RPI.

You can about 99% say the same with Houston even after last night. For them to not win the conference if they win out, Wichita would need to win out otherwise and SMU would have to finish ahead of Tulane. While yeah doesn't 100% control their destiny, it's pretty darn close.

They could tie without help but not outright
What's the league tie breaker ?

I think it's record vs each team in order of finish. So record vs 3rd place team, then 4th place team, etc. Thus where who finishes higher between Tulane and SMU would determine as both teams will have lost only to them.
