I think it is fair to mention that even though we haven't played a ton of great teams, we HAVE played and won more games on the road than the other top teams.

Arizona: 4-0 in road games
Syracuse: 4-0
MSU: 4-0
Villanova: 5-1
Us: 7-0
Florida: 4-2
SDSU: 6-0
Kansas: 3-2
Wisconsin: 3-2
Iowa: 2-3

What are the road records against top 100 teams?

[im4wsu]

We could probably be number 2 in kenpom. There's not much difference between us and Creighton, his current number 2 team. Against kenpom top 100 competition, sCUm outscores them by an average of 8.6 points per game. WSU outscores top 100 competition by 10.4 points per game. The entire difference is that they keep in their starters and crush bad teams.

Here is a breakdown of WSU scoring margin in last 4 minutes of games, categorized by the score differential at the 4:00 minute-to-go mark.

Margin at 4:00	Games	Pts in last 4	Avg in last 4
5or less	5	34	6.8
6 – 10	2	10	5
11-15	4	5	1.3
16-20	5	-6	-1.2
21 or more	5	-16	-3.2

It doesn't seem like we are garnering as much press as we were. Are we becoming an old story or do we just not deserve as much coverage as other programs?

I think we are paying for the Valley not being very mediocre this year. At this point about the only marquis matchup is WSU vs Indiana State. The only way all the other games will gather any attention is if we would happen to lose.

I dunno, Tekele Cotton dunks seem to bring some good attention.

Nothimg to write about that hasn't been written unless we lose or get past UNI and ISUb on the road, If we do that, then the countdown to running the table and conversation about a number 1 seed will heat up in earnest...

Garrett should have rocked that beard while he was at WSU.

Garrett looks a heck of a lot more than 2 inches taller than Paul!

[Dave Stalwart]

I will definitely have to follow up and see how they both do

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

[MadaboutWu]

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.

Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall is not apologizing for the Shockers' perceived weak schedule.
