    Have you considered changing your name to "another hater"?

    Or,"another complainer"?

              That reads like it was written by the middle schooler.

                What kind of idiot would question their FT shooting this year?

                  Very, very good article.

                  I ran some other programs to compare to the numbers they found for WSU. Pretty simple statistic: road and neutral site wins against the top 75 RPI in the last three regular seasons.

                  Kansas: 13-12 ... 52%
                  Duke: 15-9 ... 62.5%
                  Michigan State: 10-13 ... 43.5%
                  Ohio State: 7-11 ... 38.9%
                  Kentucky: 9-12 ... 42.9%
                  Wichita State: 13-4 ... 76.5%

                  I think we might have the best winning percentage in the country against that criteria. That's just flat-out elite.

                  • One caveat. I'm pretty sure WSU doesn't get to play the top 25 nearly as often as the KUs and Dukes of the world. This probably means that WSU's road record vs the top 75 is based on an easier group (more focused on 26-75) than Duke's same grouping. The numbers I posted here http://shockernet.net/forum/showthre...eat-vs-Top-100 seem to backup this concept. I only point this out because all "vs top 75" groupings aren't necessarily created equal and direct comparison of winning % isn't always the entire story.

                    That said, these are really cool numbers that do show WSU has been an excellent road team over the past several years. One of the best in the country. If Fever will allow, Ill even go so far as to call it "amazing"!

                      I like that one. FSKC has alot of good stuff on our beloved Shockers.

                        No kidding, and his byline says he's a "senior writer" for Rant. That's sad. Might as well give the Pulitzer Prize to Bleacher Report.

                          That's the first thing I thought of. If someone could post all the schools and their RPI's that each team played on the road over those three years, we could see if that's the case.

                              "When you think about players as talented as Jabari Parker, Andrew Wiggins, and Joel Embiid it is just tough to think the Shockers will be able to pull off another miracle run that ends up going all the way this time."

                              Yeah, just like Kevin Pangos, Kelly Olynyk, Aaron Craft or Deshaun Thomas. We better pack it in boys. This was a fun run but there's no use playing in March, it's already been decided!

                              • Jay Bilas going to talk shockers on PTI here soon.

                                Probably going to be nothing ground-breaking. Just a heads up for those who are board.
