How much did the 'W" vs. Northern Iowa move the needle with the Warren Nolan methodology...

You know, the Shockers are 3-0.

Their record could be 2-1. Or even 1-2.

Fun fact: Last time we opened the season against Western Kentucky as our first Division 1 opponent was 2013-2014. That season didn't turn out so bad. Just win 1 game at a time. And Go Shocks.

Warren Nolan methodology.

using the transitive property ...we are better than Wisconsin but not as good as UC Irvine.

With this many seniors, we better make the NCAA. That’s all I’m saying. Also the AAC can’t be a one bid league. Don’t want to see that happen

[WuDrWu]

They need to stop beating on that Montana State guy....he's dead already!

Expectations 3 games in and I got either Memphis OR Wichita as an at-large and the AAC tourney winner in the Madness. So 2 teams from the AAC. I'm gonna go ahead and predict if the Shockers make it...it's a Sweet-16 kinda year and Paul Mills levels up to a P-5 next year or Wichita will be ponying up once again. That's my earliest of earliest pre-New Year's prediction.

GO SHOCKS!!!

i wouldn't draft that extension quite yet.

i wouldn't draft that extension quite yet.

I wouldn't give it a thought until after Marshall and Brown are paid off. And I hope Mills knew that coming in.
