Wichita State media love thread

[ABC]

I think Paul was measured at just under 6'9" at one of the NBA camps after graduating.

'
Actually I thought it was just a hair under 6'10" - so his roster height was more or less accurate.

Now Carl Hall . . .

[pinstripers]

think Paul measured 6'8" at the NBA

[ABC]

Miller was 6'8.5" without shoes; 6'9.25" with shoes

Wonder if that is typical.

Edit: Carl Hall was 6'6" without shoes. http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Carl-Hall-41914/

But he was able to shove 7-footer Kelly Olynyk around in the paint. (6'10.75" w/o shoes) http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/Kelly-Olynyk-19790/

Good read...for sure

My favorite segment comes toward the end of the article: "The rest -- Wichita State? San Diego State? -- are not so easy. That's why it's probably just best if we kill the term mid-major after all. It had a good run, but it got out of hand."

An interesting article.

It's not really a glowing story about the Shockers or even for DC but at least Darius is getting a little love from his hometown newspaper.

This reads like it was written by a junior high journalism student.

With doozies like this, I expected the reporter to be this guy:

He attended Vincennes Junior College for two seasons and played on the basketball team.

The match-up is like one of the fantasy one you want to run. Anyone who sees them, please post lines and reports from the game.

More info on that coming soon. They could matchup. :)

Richard getting eviscerated on Sports Daily is good. His T-shirt is very tattered.

That was priceless.

Miller was 6'8.5" without shoes; 6'9.25" with shoes

Carl Hall was 6'6" without shoes.

Can anybody explain why they measure guys without shoes? Nobody plays barefoot, and nobody plays in platforms -- well, Jason Collins, maybe -- so why not just measure people in regular basketball shoes, which is the relevant height for players? Is it just because when the rest of us go to the doctor we're normally measured without shoes, so they want to have players measured the same way regular folks are, to allow us to compare and be impressed by how tall the guys are?

Without Bruce and Brent there Bob would have lost his marbles.

I have no problem with the Richard's of the world. He makes me appear smart and articulate.
