Good article. Referring to going undefeated:

“I want it, definitely,” Van Vleet said. “It would be a great accomplishment. We’re not running or hiding from it.”

My favorite quote from that article has to be "Where the Shockers go, crowds follow. And boos rain down. And the Shockers smile."

WSU discussion on Pardon the Interruption:

Talked about the FVV undefeated quote (not running or hiding), Kornheiser said nobody outside of Wichita thinks they can win the title, Wilbon said don't have to be undefeated to get a #1 seed and that this season has been a validation of last years Final Four and they have a shot at going at least that far again

Big topic on PTI. Saw it on at work, but TV was on mute! Anyone have a recap?

I think the media is just starting to figure out the target we have had on our back when we have gone on he road this year. Earlier in the year it was a chance to knock of a Final Four team from the previous year. Once Valley play started it was that plus a chance to be the ones to end the winning streak. Last night was a huge game for Indiana State. A chance to make a bid for an at-large shot in the NCAA's and perhaps get back into the Valley championship race and a chance to end a team's dream of duplicating the 1979 Larry Bird led Sycamore team's accomplishment.

Thanks!

You're welcome! Also they have Boeheim on the 5 good minutes segment talking about his young backcourt and the quality of NCAA currently. He said overall quality is not quite as high as it used to be, but still many great games. He mentioned that no matter the quality of the teams some schools will always have great crowds; specifically mentioned Duke, North Carolina, Louisville, Indiana, and Wichita State

It was victory No. 24 for Wichita State, the jersey number of the Seattle Seahawks running back. That’s the way Shockers coach Gregg Marshall has been having fun with his team’s gaudy undefeated streak – pick a famous number that goes with the game Wichita is trying to win.

“Last game was 23 – Michael Jordan,” Marshall said. “This game, Marshawn Lynch. Beast mode.”

If we are lucky enough to head into the final game of the regular season with a shot at #31 doesn't that have to be The Big Cheese (in honor of Shocker Hall of Famer #31 Lynbert "Cheese" Johnson).
