Got it.

and struggled with tulsa and uconn...with the only 2 decent regular seasons wins you have had in 2 years you shot over 60% from 3

if im honest wichita is a tourney caliber team, you arent a top 10 caliber team

i said this earlier, good teams bring out your flaws...the more good teams you play the more film there is of your flaws..
i think wsu flaws have been put in the fore front..there is now scout film on how to beat you..

i know the narrative from wsu is we are playing bad...or smu got lucky..
when it should be teams are figuring us out

if you watched the houston game and familiar with what we do, their was definitely strategy in how we played ..Houston didnt play vanbeck who regular does 20 mins per for us, likely because he couldn't pressure your guards...we didnt play harris or fabian (taller skinnier big men) who are our #2 and #3 center but instead played brady and zanna who are more muscler. zanna hadnt played meaningful minutes in 7-8 games..if not for being fouled out this would have the most minutes he played all season.

Sampson came in with a plan to exploit things he saw about Wichita

Is Houston good? Do you think they’re a better team than WSU?

Well now I think you're confusing "talented" with "better".

Yes, Houston is good, and WSU may have more talent on their roster. But that doesn't always mean "better", and UH was absolutely better than WSU on Saturday. It wasn't even close. This is indisputable. And if WSU is as good you YOU think they are, they should never have lost to UH. That is my opinion.

But you're missing Pesik's point: that WSU was outcoached.

So you’re strictly determining a team’s worth based on head-to-head? Hm, interesting.

So did two weeks ago not matter or is recency bias a factor?

I'm not understanding why it's so hard for you to realize the gap you thought was there is at least smaller than you thought it was, and might not even really be there at all?

Teams get better as time goes on, so why is it so hard for you to conceptualize the notion that the same team that got beat by Drexel is not the same team as the team that beat WSU, even though they're the same team?

Holy cow I had to proof that 3 times to make sure it came out right.
