The stage was set, the Cats traveled to Rhode Island to play the Wichita Shockers or Vanderbilt. Fans prayed for Vanderbilt; the media predicted Wichita State, and they were right. They were also right about a possible upset although Wildcats fans held out hope, and went in positive.
The team went in positive too, dancing too early in the locker room before the game! After all, T.J. McConnell wished the team luck, how could anything go wrong?
The Cats were asleep in the first half. Shell shocked. Some said Allonzo Trier was playing selfishly, trying out for the NBA.
