If we want to have any shot of making the tourney this year need to find away to get a couple of wins this week against two good opponents.
Oakland actually played our Wed opponent Toledo on Saturday and lost 87-74.
Oakland is missing their center who is serving the final game of a four game suspension but they appear to have two elite scores who are both averaging over 20 pts a game and both transferred from big time Div 1 schools (Illinois and Texas). Martez Walker the Texas transfer is shooting the three ball at over 45% this year, I am hopeful we will key on him early.
Rough stretch here with 3 games in 5 days, especially with Toledo being right before Thanksgiving and appearing to be the best of the three teams. The Rockets appear to be a pretty good offensive squad this year. Hope we take care of business but wouldn't be shocked if we ended up splitting the two games.
Also just a FYI, not only are we playing Kansas this year but we our early schedules are earily similar, they also play Texas Southern, Oakland, and Toledo.
