Wichita State media love thread

Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but it really surprised me in the SI article on FVV:

His Win Shares total – an estimation of how many victories a player’s offensive and defensive contributions are worth – is 4.6, seventh in the country. By comparison, Creighton’s Doug McDermott has a Win Shares total of 4.5.

Not a complete list, but you can see the win share list here (FVV now tied with McDermott at 4.7 for 9th in the country):

Did something cause WSU non-conf SOS to jump up recently?

Rockin' The Roundhouse about to air on KWCH right now.

Nah not really, it's been slowly climbing from the mid 40s to this point for a month.

Davidson finally woke up, William & Mary has been a nice surprise, Western Kentucky has been decent as expected, and SLU/BYU/Tennessee keep on trucking. ORU and Bama have sucked but everyone else is performing at or above expectations so it's been a pretty good slate.

This Rockin' the Roundhouse special just reminded me to soak up every single win and every game this season. This is by far the most magical season I have experienced, and it isn't over yet.

Very good piece. Well done. And I agree. We have A LOT to be thankful here.

Never prouder to be a Shocker!

Probably just gradual improvement by a number of WSU's opponents, ABC. St Louis has been good all along, and is now 21-2 and in the RPI top 20. WSU's road win there is one of the best in the country this year, comparable on the court to if not in prominence to San Diego State's win in Lawrence. But Western Kentucky has improved to 16-7 (15-7 vs. D-1) is second in the Sun Belt, and may end up as a top-100 win; Bill & Mary are now 14-8 and third in the Colonial: BYU and Tennessee are hanging in as top-50 wins, and NC Central, at 15-5 and leading the MEAC, is an unusually respectable team for that league.

I don't think it's on the Internet yet, but they will post it on kwch.com after it re-airs tomorrow night. It was done very well.

@KWCHJenn: If you didn't get to see #RockinTheRoundhouse tonight don't worry. It re-airs tomorrow night and will also be on http://t.co/1kg1uZO5FT!!

Don't forget North Carolina Central: 17-5, 8-1 (1st), and projected RPI of 126.

"Unfortunately, the NCAA hasn’t yet implemented the BCS system in basketball, and the chances of an undefeated team being denied a top seed is slim-to-none."

What is he talking about with this and why is it unfortunate?

I read that as being sarcastic. The article on the whole was pretty complementary.

This is one of the best articles I have seen, ignore the haters and enjoy the ride. I can still picture Cohen coaching on crutches, what a feeling to make it to this level!
