LOL at the possibility of this happening.

Another game where WSU is behind at half, and comes out and wins in the 2nd half. It's really weird how many times it's happened this year for the Shockers. It was a good game, not many Vols fans in attendance. Maymon is a giant in person, good Lord. Darius Carter stepped up huge for WSU in the...

Crompton as others have said. When he did this look on the sideline, it was friggin' priceless. Had to grab my phone and snap a picture while I paused it on dvr. Been my Avi over here ever since. Someone copied it and used it for a while though.

So what do you think the issue is with UT? Because if you think the talent level is there (which I do too) why do you think this team isn't at the level you want them to be? Coaching? Bad breaks? Just how the cookie crumbles? From reading this board, I get the impression that nearly everyone...

I really do agree with you on that! I think the deciding half will be the 2nd. WSU starts so slow, it's worrisome. We have played lights out all season in the 2nd half. So if UT comes to play and doesn't let us just boat race the Vols, it'll be a good game. If you guys let us get in rhythm like...

Want to trade? I'd trade conferences anyday. You guys could dominate MVC Football, well maybe not, NDSU plays in it. (I'd just like us to get to a damn bowl. Dooley..... JFC.)

Oh I wasn't discrediting UT's ability to play top notch basketball, and on any given night, UT could knock off anyone in the nation. However, I just felt it was a bit unrealistic to say that UT will for certain be the best team on WSU's schedule. Do I think there is a possibility they could be...

SJA, then how do you measure what you're trying to measure? Opinion? RPI has flaws, but it's still an easy measurement that still works, and the NCAA utilizes parts of it to decide seeding and selection. Also, currently, Wichita State's SOS is 81st in the country. UT's is 206. So tell me how...

Saint Louis, will be a higher RPI at the end of the year than UT. (they already are, btw) Indiana State, and BYU could have a higher RPI at the end of the season.

It's difficult to schedule good teams when teams in your own state won't play you. The field for the CBE backed out and was replaced with two horrible teams for our home match ups. Apologies for the scheduling, but I doubt UT will be the best team we play all year.

WSU has the 12th rated Adjusted Defense in the country based on KenPom. WSU holds opponents to .275 from 3, and .388 from the field. The Shockers hang their hard hats on their defense. Tough nosed, agile, keep the defender in front defense. We've molded to the new freedom of movement rules...

Man-to-man all day.

3-4 points is homecourt advantage, typically.

Koch Arena, WSU's home arena is on campus, around 5 miles from downtown Wichita. The game will be played at Intrust Bank Arena, which is Wichita's arena for entertainment acts, our semi-pro hockey team, and is used for basketball games ranging from regular season showcase match ups for WSU once...

Back when Wichita State was Fairmount College when it was formed, a number of the male student body would harvest or "shock" the wheat during summer breaks for extra cash. It was then used as a mascot later on. WuShock, the mascot is an angry anthropomorphic shock of wheat. One of, if not...
