After allowing just three of their first 25 opponents to score one point per possession, the Bearcats have now given up at least one point per possession in three of their past four games -- including a season-high 122.7 per 100 possessions against Tulsa on Sunday.

Better competition or has the defense lost its mojo?

Combination of both. I think the guys are tired (Mick has alluded to this as well) from the grind of the season, resulting in some sloppiness and loss of focus.

I'd say Syracuse in the Big east tournament or Florida State in the NCAA tournament.

Matt is correct

For sure...people forget how good (and hot) that FSU team was. They beat Duke and UNC (both Top 5 teams) in back to back nights to win the ACC tournament. You know, looking back, we had some apocalypticly ****** losses that year. Presbyterian and St. Johns at home...yiiiiikes.

Side note, but that FSU-St. Bonaventure game in Nashville was friggin nuts...one of the better NCAA Tournament environments I've been in.

Yes, I agree too. Beating WSU would be almost as good, but not quite as those two that year.

Whose fault is that? He really needed to rest JEIII and Gary way more then he did.

Random fluctuation of the season, and Wichita State is really good offensively. They had a few lapses and some teams got hot. I wouldn't read much into it.
