    Again. We can't win not because of our team, but rather the teams we played.

      Would have been interesting for them to site some data, analysis, facts etc.

        It might be interesting, but it would totally ruin their claim.

          It's such a backwards argument. You can argue that you aren't sure about them because they haven't proven themselves to you. But to say that they won't win because they haven't been tested, whatever that's supposed to mean, is a joke.

              • Was just watching NBCSN's "Sports Dash" show and they had Kenny Smith on to talk about the Knicks and preview the NCAA Tournament. When asked who he had winning it all he said he hadn't gotten much free time to sit down and fill out his bracket, but he thinks WSU is being underrated by many around the country. He said "Wichita has the best chance to win it because you don't win by your name, you win by how you play the game"

                    The worst part is that we've been relegated to being lumped in with those two teams.

                      I feel like I'm having flashbacks to the BCS title game. Same arguments. Ignore the advanced stats, blame "lack of close games" and competition.

                      I hope Kentucky/Louisville/etc. aren't able to steal our signs in the first half.

                      i keep thinking back to Marshall's speech last year regarding the team that wants it more winning. I don't think we're going to have many games where we don't want it more.

                          • I hadn't seen this one posted yet. SI.com's survival bracket is up. You can read the article if you want to see the formula/methodology they use to determine this. The Shockers rank 4th in their model, having their 4th highest percentage of winning it all, but this bracket doesn't have them advancing past the Sweet 16, due to the matchup with Louisville.

                            Had the selection committee done a better job of balancing the bracket, Wichita State would likely have been in our Final Four. The 34-0 Shockers ranked fourth in the survival model due to their combination of efficiency, experience and consistency. In fact, they were the most consistent No. 1 seed in our entire study sample from 2004-2014, based on standard deviations from average efficiency margin during the regular season.
