Cajones means furniture drawers or Peruvian box drums.

Cojones is correct.


Lo siento. Back to basketball.

All I can say is, this year's Shocks have great Peruvian box drums.

So only SNers will get the joke if I make a poster of Fred and two furniture drawers?

Never let it be said that I have not expanded my knowledge and understanding of the world around me by reading ahockerNet.

Plus now we also know a Cajon is not someone from the Lousiana bayous. However, I am still researching weather Cajuns have Cajunes.

DSB should be able to shed some light on that.

This week will likely determine if Wichita State goes undefeated

But the rest of us are not required to stay focused. We're free to look as far ahead as our eyes can see, and that's why it's worth pointing out that the Shockers are now in what projects as their toughest week of the season, and if they exit still unscathed the chances of a perfect regular season will go from unlikely to more than likely just like that.

"I get 68 percent," is how Ken Pomeroy responded when I asked if he'd be kind enough to project the likelihood of a perfect regular season if the Shockers move to 25-0 this week with wins at Indiana State and Northern Iowa. "Could jump even more if they are dominant."

What you need to know, for the purposes of context, is that Pomeroy's site (KenPom.com) currently gives Wichita State a 38.5-percent chance of finishing the regular season with an undefeated record, meaning two wins this week will nearly double the Shockers' odds at history. That's because the two most-challenging games left on the schedule are this week. First up is Wednesday at Indiana State. Then comes Saturday at Northern Iowa.

Wichita State isn't good because of its record; Wichita State is good independently of its record, and that's why you'd be foolish to disregard the Shockers as a serious Final Four threat regardless of what you think of their strength of schedule or conference affiliation.

A good piece from Bleacher Report:
Inside Wichita State's Pursuit of Perfection

Somewhere there is a Syracuse fan butt-hurt that his team isn't getting all this media love.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Had a LONG conversation tonight with a group of LSU fans and 2 Syracuse fans. LSU fans name dropping Skeenstra, Dreifort and Blake. Syracuse fans dropping Ogirri and Cousinard.
