Even off his point average Hinton’s play today was strong. Add to that he’s the most disruptive player in the country. He’s doesn’t understand what part of the game it is, he’s just in attack mode for 40 minutes.
And he plays big. Much bigger than guards I have seen.
We are an elite defense, shot blocking, rebounding (although teams have matched us lately) team. If we can get hot shooting we could be very dangerous.
Coach has had some success posting up White and Fabian has taken advantage. When he is hitting those baby hooks in the lane and that 15 footer from baseline he is really good…Grimes played well and was rewarded several times with easy layups after cutting to the basket…
When we get a little more polished I think you will see more of that cutting to the baskets on the back side…
In my opinion, the refs let them play today in tournament mode, very few ticky tack fouls and let the strong survive. The conference needs more games refereed like this for all invitees to be tournament ready.
We’ve now won 4 straight from WSU. On a side note, not only were we not ranked 2 seasons ago when we beat them at TSU, it was the game that immediately followed the infamous road loss to Tulane.
This was Wichita’s second consecutive loss. We have not had consecutive losses since the 2016-17 postseason.
