Wichita State media love thread

[jocoshock]

@ESPNLunardi: I think we know that from last year... “@cmath21: @ESPNLunardi Wichita State's ceiling in March?”

[jocoshock]

@JonRothstein: Most impressive thing so far about Wichita State? They've responded to be the hunted after many years as the hunter. Not an easy transition.

Maybe not here, but in Scott City, Iowa you might.

Suellentrop. Well done.

"The Shockers are 29-8 the past four seasons on the road and while the names change, the toughness never seems to graduate."

"I've got greasy pizza to eat and stuff to write, so I'll leave the WSU-KU-Media hater banter to the fans. However, when I read people saying "WSU needs to do it for more than one year" I believe those people are painfully out of touch with college basketball.Look at Gregg Marshall's career record for more info."

3. Wichita State and Oregon are both undefeated. In which team do you have more confidence?


Katz: Can I answer both? These are two teams that have a legit shot to make a deep run in March. Oregon, which is averaging the second-most points in the country, is getting back Ben Carter and Dominic Artis after their nine-game suspension. If the interior players can defend and rebound, the Ducks have a shot. Wichita State plays with as much passion and intensity as any team in the country. This team never quits. These Shockers look more like a Final Four team than the one that made it last season.

Medcalf: I like Wichita State because I think the Shockers have the experience necessary to make another postseason run, they're as confident as any team in America, and they're playing great defense (12th in adjusted defensive efficiency, per KenPom.com). Find another team that's held BYU to 62 points.

Brown: I think that answer lies in what you prefer: a great offense or a great defense. I'll take defense and Wichita State. The Shockers are holding opponents to 38.8 percent shooting from the field. They continue to build off last season's Final Four run.

Wow this is some pretty impressive stuff. Thanks for the link.

Thanks for posting this. Shockers85 is right about this being a great article and has helped in cleansing my palate a little after what they had on Sportscenter.
