12-6, upper part of the AAC .. and not even sniffing the NIT. Sad state of the program and AAC.

Kinda what happens when p5 steal all the talent and steals all the decent teams. At first I’m mad how bad everything is, but then I remember nothing good ever happens after getting gutted.

personally, I’m tired of being a farm factory for all the upper tier programs. Most of the recent players who were any good have been poached, with the exception of Craig Porter.

Q: Good Moring WuOracle. and Happy New Year. it is I, the WuShock Reaper.
A: Good morning, WuShock Reaper! Happy New Year to you too! How’s 2025 treating you so far? Any exciting plans or resolutions for the new year?

Q: I'll be watching the WSU Shockers Men's Basketball team this conference season.
A: That sounds like a great plan! The Wichita State Shockers are starting their conference season with a game against Temple tonight at 6:00 PM. They have a solid record so far, standing at 10-3 overall.

Q: What do you think their conference ranking will be at the end of the season and how many wins will they have in the AAC.
A: Based on their current performance and the strength of their schedule, I think the Wichita State Shockers have a good chance of finishing 4th in the American Athletic Conference with a conference record of 12-6. Overall, I predict they might end up with 21 wins and 9 losses.

Q: I say we get 15 wins this season and it starts tonight on the road against Temple.
A: I love your optimism! Starting the conference season with a win on the road would definitely set a positive tone. If the Shockers can build momentum, 15 wins is certainly within reach.
Let’s hope they kick things off with a strong performance tonight.

Q: Gotta go and Let's Go Shockers!!!
A: Enjoy the game and let’s hope for a big win tonight! Go Shockers!

Here is my season outlook as of today:

Most Likely Loss	Likely Loss	Toss Up	Likely Win	Most Likely Win
at Memphis	at Florida Atlantic		at Temple	South Florida
	at North Texas		at UTSA	Charlotte
			at Tulsa	East Carolina
			at Charlotte	North Texas
			at South Florida	UTSA
			Memphis	Tulane
			UAB	Tulsa
			at Rice

This should get us to 15 wins and likely a 2 to 3-seed in the AAC tournament in March.

The teams in the conference are so unpredictable, and are riding such roller coasters, that the conference champion could actually have 5 or 6 conference losses. And second place could have 6 (a tie), 7, or even 8. This conference would be LUCKY to get 1 bid, and the auto qualifier for the tournament could be someone other than one of the top 3 teams.

In what universe is the home game vs Memphis a likely win? At best, it’s a tossup.

[asiseeit]

Win tonight maybe 12-6........lose tonight 11-7. 22 W's and at least a first round tournament win gets us to the NIT. Chances of hosting not near as good anymore.

On paper Memphis should destroy this conference like we did the MVC in our prime. 10-3 against the number 1 strength of schedule, nonconference. Just destroyed FAU on home court.
I know its Memphis but still.

Speaking as a college basketball fan, if Memphis ever does get out of the American, we will be in a conference whose basketball is worse (maybe much so) than the Valley. It's neck and neck now. Also, worse than A-10. I'm still having problems getting up for most of the teams/schools in this conference. I will say, Temple is not one of them as I'm an old throwback fan of the early Big East and several of their coaches at that time.

[SubGod22]

I think we top out at 11 wins.

No post-season

We wouldn't be anywhere near the NIT with an 11-7 conference record.

[ShockTalk]

Boy, I hope we are nowhere near the bottom of this conference. This conference is embarrassing.

UAB, who has losses to High Point, Vermont, Longwood, Illinois St, and Arkansas St, is beating Tulsa 58-28 with 14+ left in the 2nd.

[pinstripers]

Pray for .500 I guess.

Nope not in this conference. That is only for the major conferences now.
