Wichita State NIT game thread

ITS GAMEDAY!!! I hope as many people as possible goes out to the Reynolds center for the last home game of the 2025-2026 basketball season.

this has been wonderful so far and we need people to show up to bring the noise one last time. Tickets are $35

 

[I.I.]

Tickets still available in lower corners and lower west end zone. All other lower levels sold. Expect the students to fill all their allotment. Definitely a big loud crowd for the last one here.

 

[TU 1978]

The 100 or so wheat chaff fans should be outnumbered.

 

[libertychamp]

Tulsa is a 4.5 point favorite on Espn and 68% to 32% chance to win we should be okay with those numbers just box out and have that big red headed center Big Bird Berg and get him to foul out early.

 

[TUMU]

I'm inside. Center court.

 

[libertychamp]

Green is starting omg

 

[TU1NNJ]

Green is playing

 

[TU1NNJ]

Great start

 

[TU 1978]

Great start! I don’t see many shita state folks in the stands.

 

[nevadanatural]

Looks like the guys are ready to play tonight. Let’s see if they can keep it up for 40 minutes. I want to see them in Indy.

 

[TU1NNJ]

Barnstable back in form

 

[nevadanatural]

Good to Barnstable having an “on” night. That’s a good sign.

Pray it continues limit turnovers

 

[TulsaCane12]

What a start, dont necessarily like taking Barnstable out with him having the hot hand, but luckily everyone else seems hot too to start, lets keep the gas on

 

[TU1NNJ]

Keep the peddle down!

 

[TU 1978]

Another bullsh1t foul call.

 

[TulsaRising1]

Wow , we came to play

 

[TU1NNJ]

We need to get the offense going again

 

[t-townpod]

Sometimes a timeout is needed

 

[t-townpod]

Sad when we start like we did everyone on the team thinks they can just go one one one and make something happen. Konkle needs to settle this team down!

 

[nevadanatural]

They’ve cut the lead to 14. We’re still rebounding well just need to find the range again. It’s nice to see Green on the court but you can tell he’s rusty after the 4 game layoff.

 

[TU 1978]

Smikle and Berg are beating each other up.

 

[TulsaRising1]

Smikle playing with heart

 

[TulsaCane12]

Alot of missed layups

 

[TU1NNJ]

Green having trouble shooting with the shoulder injury.

 

[t-townpod]

Still need to run offense
Does Riley have 2 fouls

 

[drboobay]

Too many missed layups.

 

[t-townpod]

Too many missed layups.

They are very difficult layups. Not getting to rim
Like they are avoiding contact

 

[nevadanatural]

Alot of missed layups

We go through bouts where wee hit more threes than twos. Our free throw shooting kind of sucks tonight also. We’re 6-9 from the line and two of those misses were front ends.

 

[nevadanatural]

We’re 7-14 from 3 and 7-21 inside the arc.

 

[libertychamp]

Sometimes a timeout is needed

Does green look healthy or is he a liability

Alot of missed layups

need to put the medal to the pedal

 

[TulsaRising1]

Paul Mills looks like Stewart from big bang theory

 

[t-townpod]

Isn’t that goaltending

 

[TU 1978]

 

[nevadanatural]

16 point lead at half isn’t bad. It should have been more because that was a ridiculous call on the Popoola screen. Our biggest lead was 24. Hopefully the guys can come out with energy in the second half. We need to win that first 5 minutes because we know the shockers will make a run.

 

[libertychamp]

Isn’t that goaltending

Yes it is we always have to overcome the refs with big bird berg and willliams banging in the lane berg has 2 fouls

Great stats so far it’s hard to out rebound their 7 footer and Williams

 

[Gmoney4WW]

We are unconscious from 3.

 

[nevadanatural]

1.4 points per possession in that first half. When we’re over 1.25 ppp we usually win.

 

[I.I.]

We missed easy layups and multiple free throws, several 1-1. But Giles has missed at least 3 wide open threes and their shooting is horrible.
