      I'll take that bet any day.

          An unranked (and possibly undefeated) team is about to come out of Cancun with some buzz - ESPN

          By John Gasaway, ESPN Insider
          Posted 11/25/19, 10:00pm cst
          ​​​​​​
          Michigan State's offense continued to sputter against Virginia Tech, sending the No. 3 Spartans to their second loss of the young season.


          "The Cancun Challenge bracket pits Wichita State against South Carolina and Northern Iowa against West Virginia in action starting Tuesday. These four enter the event showing a combined record of 19-1, with WSU, the Panthers and the Mountaineers all being undefeated.

          Of the 19 victories recorded by the field, the most impressive of the bunch is perhaps the 15-point win West Virginia posted in a true road game at Pitt. Bob Huggins' team missed the NCAA tournament in March for the first time since 2014, but the Mountaineers have shown signs of improvement in their first four games. Derek Culver and Oscar Tshiebwe form the backbone of what could be an excellent interior defense, and Jermaine Haley has given hints that his 28-point eruption against Iowa State late last season might have been a sign of things to come.

          Then again, perhaps it will be Wichita State's shot volume (the Shockers take excellent care of the ball), Northern Iowa's shooting (Austin Phyfe is hitting 70% of his 2s) or South Carolina's second chances (Frank Martin's men really crash the offensive glass) that prove unstoppable in Cancun. Whichever team emerges victorious, it appears likely that the group in question will be sporting an impressive record and receiving newfound and deserved attention."

              Anybody else hoping we and Wichita win today? I'd love the opportunity to beat the most delusional fanbase in sports again. Let's get this one first though boys.

                    Or he's wondering why everyone is wearing long sleeves in 85+ degree temperatures?

                      60% of the time they win every time.

                        Weird post. I just want to see the Shocks win the first one, and then whoever they play, I hope they can play well in the second one and squeak out a win. There's no horse, no cart, no apple. Only a train. Let's hope this train keeps a rollin.

                          Meh, let them have their fun. The potential matchup with us would be their super bowl and a crescendo to their season.

                            Hmmm .. i thought the most delusional fanbase would be the one that constantly talks about still being alive for an at large while having a .500 record in the Valley ....

                              Yup, UNI MIGHT squeak in under top 100 NET this year. So at best a low end Q2 game. So it's a game with zero positives for WSU since it would be their biggest game of the year, that they would no doubt play above their level for only to start falling apart in January like always.

                                Oh another post on the same thread talks about these being 2 must wins to build a good at large case. Comedy at it's best!
