Replay of 3G's interview on this morning's Mike & Mike show coming up shortly on Sports Daily.

I'm too lazy to look but I'll bet they said similar things about John Stockton. I'd also bet that FVV gets a chance in the league when he is done here.

Exactly. He is earning the shot. But I'd be stunned if he was ever considered a "big-time NBA prospect". That isn't a dig on FVV, it is a dig on the NBA and the number of flops they have with their big-time prospects.

Sounds like they are playing a replay from last year heading into the Final Four. Oops.

Lutz now apologizing for pulling the wrong interview. We still try to get this mornings interview re-played if the can find it. I assume Mike & Mike have a podcast available at some point.

Replay of LAST year's Mike and Mike interview? Why, may I ask?

[WuDrWu]

Looking for the current interview now.

For us non-insiders, what are WSU's odds and what are other notable odds (especially the second most likely)?

Yup. It's amazing to me how the criteria for NBA prospects never seem to change, yet so many major NBA draft picks never amount to anything. At some point wouldn't you reevaluate the criteria if the criteria continually leads to flops?

ODDS TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT: Wichita State 15.1%; Arizona 13.1%; Florida 11.3%; Villanova 9.3%

University of Kansas in eighth most likely at 5.2%

"Van Vleet doesn’t have the size or athleticism to be a big-time NBA prospect" I agree about the size, and maybe currently as a sophomore the athleticism part when it comes to being a "big-time" NBA prospect. He very well may fly under the big-time radar but we will get a chance. And everything I know about FVV tells me he will make it happen.

Twice as good as going undefeated. I like those odds... O:-)

Funny...

@AKAJeffBidwell: @tsnmike I'm getting my hair cut, and women in the shop are trying to convince me Wichita didn't play anybody. Yes, I live in Kentucky.

@LostLettermen: Only thing that sucks about NCAA uniforms ruling is that now Wichita St. won't get to wear these. http://twitter.com/LostLettermen/sta...563264/photo/1

Beat Kentucky..
