I think Tulsa won more than Wichita lost, but if they meet again the strategies will be different from both sides.

Pretty spot on, but I don't want you to sell yourselves short. Tulsa won that game, WSU didn't just hand it to them, and I think they have a chance at a very great year.
From the Shocker perspective, I'm honestly not too upset. We've been very spoiled the past few years and generally won those games. The freshmen and sophomores need to learn that Fred and Baker can't carry them, they have to pull their own weight.
