2025 Tournament PreviewThe Cougars played their best basketball down the stretch, winning nine in a row before getting bounced in the Big 12 tournament semifinals by Houston. The winning streak included victories against NCAA Tournament teams such as Iowa State, Kansas, Arizona and West Virginia (three on the road). Junior forward Richie Saunders (16.0 ppg, 4.4 rpg), is the driver, shooting 43.3 percent from distance, and 6-9 Egor Demin (10.3 ppg, 5.4 apg, 3.8 rpg) is a freshman from Russia who plays four positions and likely has his sights set on the next level. Big men Keba Keita (7.1 ppg, 7.9 rpg) and Fousseyni Traore (8.6 ppg, 5.3 rpg) split time at center for an offense that ranks sixth nationally in two-point shooting and 12th in efficiency (per KenPom). A relatively weak non-conference schedule makes it fair to question whether first-year coach Kevin Young's team is battled tested enough for an extended run.
