If it gets fans pumped and boosts attendance numbers, I'm all for it. In fact, probably not a good look to a lot of fans if you win out the regular season and don't celebrate it.
Wichita lost to Tulsa today. This is one of those games we can't go screw around with via slow start or five-minute scoring drought. Grab a sizeable halftime lead and win by 20.
Even though Paul Mills is Benfording that storied program, they've announced 5K+ for every home game this season, including against a school called Friends. Still one of the better environments this league offers.
Memphis does not play until Thursday night, meaning we have another opportunity of being sole possessors of first place for a night if we win in Wichita Wednesday.
It'd be cool to chase down that #1 seed but personally would rather take the 2 seed and the more attendance-friendly 6 pm start for that first tournament game at Dickies. The #1 seed would have to play at 12pm on Thursday.
Also not a fan of the inevitable banner and possibly rings our social media/AD will parade around for being "conference (regular season? champions."
It's not near enough. For comparison, from 82 to 96, Memphis made the Tournament almost every year. We've never had anything like that, and you can't compare us to other teams that play in places where there's almost nothing else to do. No doubt there is an exceptional culture issue in the faculty, students and graduates, but that is part of the fabric of NT.
