Do ya'll think the LaSalle team might know who we are and where Wichita, Ks. is now? One thing about it is this. It is next to impossible to go through a whole regular Season and go undefeated. Too many possibilities are sure to occur to prevent a team to pull this off. Mo. State would love to steal our thunder and defeat us on Senior day as the world looks on to witness this very game. Even so, this is our yard and this is our time and our beloved Shockers will be primed and ready for 31-0 and 18-0 which will be a clean slate. Can you dig that?

Man, ESPN is promoting the hell out of Saturday's game.

Yep, big-time previews going in and out of commercial breaks during games. I saw one during SportsCenter this morning. Pretty freaking awesome.

Not FS1 awesome, but awesome none the less.

Why do I have a feeling that our ratings Saturday will beat all the #s for Creighton on FS1 combined?

I wonder if creighton actually missed out on a lot of media attention by leaving the MVC this year and joining the MID MAJOR EAST right before our historic run to 30-0. There would be so much hype between our matchups with them and even though they would lose, they would still be getting a lot of air time. They get a fair amount with McDill I guess. It's too bad it's all over for them in a few more weeks. I'm still expecting a loss @xavier this weekend. They don't have the stones to stay in the top 10 more than a week or so.

I don't understand. What part of that was bad?

He said he spoke to Marshall, he's his new favorite coach, he wanted the SC job, SC turned him down, then SC approached him and Marshall laughed in their face. Not sure what you dislike there?

I believe he was talking about what the Clemson guy had said.

Wichita State Shockers (30-0)
Shockers point guard Fred VanVleet excels at turnover avoidance. During one five-game stretch from Dec. 22 to Jan. 8, he had an assist/turnover ratio of 31-to-1, and he's at 27-to-6 in his past five games. His running averages have consistently outperformed those of Wichita's starting point guard from last season, Malcolm Armstead, and the chart below shows that this was foreshadowed by VanVleet's excellent 2012-13 postseason:

Here's an interesting article from the Vegas sports book perspective. They are openly rooting for us to lose.

And Van Vleet is just a freshman! Who knew?

A mostly well-written, well-reasoned piece, but not without a few factual errors.

I quickly noticed the "rural Kansas" line. I didn't realize the largest city in Kansas with a population close to a half million was rural! Lol!
