Wichita State opens American Conference play this week with an 8-5 record. Assistant coach P.J. Couisnard joins the podcast to discuss Karon Boyd and his Grinch shoes and how Jaret Valencia and Brian Amuneke can continue their positive trend.

We talk about how a redshirt season helped TJ Williams burst into the rotation and why the team's identity centers on rebounding and limiting turnovers. 

Wichita State plays on Wednesday at UAB (3 p.m.) and continue on the road at Charlotte on Jan. 3 (5 p.m.). Both games are on ESPNU. The first home conference game is Jan. 7 vs. Rice.
