We start to get a feel for who is what in the AAC. ESPN2 tonight at 6:00PM
Memphis finishes conference play at home against Witchita State on March 5 at 8:00 ESPN and then at Houston Sunday March 08 at 11:00AM on CBS.

Looks like the conference scheduled the UH games versus our top contenders all on the weekend for TV purposes:
We play at Witchita State SAT Jan 18 at 3;00 ESPN2 and in the Fertitta Center SUN Feb 9 at 2:00PM ESPN.
We play at Cincy SAT Feb 5 at 5:00PM ESPN2 and in the Fertitta Center SUN Mar 1 at noon ESPN.
We plat at Memphis SAT Feb 22 at 1:00PM ESPN and in the Fertitta Center SUN Mar 8 at 11:00 CBS

So we play at all three first on the road on SATURDAYS and then get all three at home on SUNDAYS.

sorry to pick a nit - but I think the at Cincy game is February 1 (not 5). But I take your point, looking at the schedule once we get to February 1 - each weekend until regular season end is a game against Memphis, WSU and SMU

Same. I think Wichita takes it. They deserve more credit and well have a better idea of who they are and what each of their weaknesses are.

Wichita State playing with great energy, and it shows in their offensive rebounding in that sequence.

This was a case of great coaching and teamwork against an offense that looked unplanned…

Memphis only had two players in double-figures. Wichita had three and three more within a bucket. You can say WSU’s 3’s won the game but I think this box score screams Marshall eating Penny’s lunch. Well-coached teams have multiple players ready to contribute. MSU had the talent advantage but WSU had the coaching advantage.

WSU 1
MSU 0

This will not be an easy year.

PS - Shockers fans are wicked good at pulling their weight.
