Got the same Tulsa feel. That team lost three contributors as well in Nnamaka, Cordell, and Harris. I think Fisch/JJ/Katin will be a little tougher to replace but we'll see.

I'll feel a lot better if they can land a bigger guard in the spring. Otherwise I fear they'll run into a lot of the same issues as this team did, unless the freshmen are good right away.
