The WSU/NKU roadtrip has been a pain in the rear end for years even when OU has had good teams. Having a close to 100% Jalen Moore is important on this trip and the team definitely needs that.

Hopefully we get a split a sweep is asking a lot if they play as well as they played last weekend a think getting one is very doable

I'm still skeptical on this team, but hopefully they exceed my low expectations at this point.

A team that’s starts a healthy Moore, Townsend, Hervey and Watts should fare well under any circumstances. Given Oakland’s recent history at MKU, they are due for a rebound. If not now, when? It’s time for the program to take the next step….

It’s time for the program to take the next step…. Agree. Certainly not expecting a sweep but winning a game in places we don't do much winning at should be doable if this team plans to contend for March.

That was a grinder.... Not a pretty game by either team. Can't believe they pulled it out at the end.

Jalen Moore knocking down six straight free throws in the clutch.
The team not folding after getting a flop call technical.
The team NOT fouling on NKU’s last full shot clock possession.
Trey Townsend cleanly blocking Warrick’s line drive lay up with 1.2 seconds left.
Not losing the game on a back door cut lay up or some other ridiculous play on NKU’s final BLOB with 1 second left.
None of these things would have gone right earlier this year or maybe even in most of the last few years.
Just a great win. First one at NKU since Kendrick Nunn ended the game with a dunk in 2017-18.
