Here is the post about the shockers goiong undefeated.

Could Wichita State run the table? John Gasaway, in his Insider mid-major rankings, explains: "Instead of surprising you with an off-the-wall choice for the top spot, allow me to explain why tapping the only mid-major currently ranked in the AP Top 15 is absolutely essential. Wichita State has one of the best defenses in the nation, period. Every opponent except one this season has been held under a point per possession, and the exception to that rule, DePaul, trailed by 13 or more for the entire second half before losing by 18. [...] If Wichita State were to prevail at home against Tennessee this weekend and then win at Alabama next week, the moment will have officially arrived to start speculating about this team running the table in the regular season. Those odds would be long, no doubt, but with Creighton now safely tucked away in the Big East, the Shockers may have a shot."

There is a longer interview with Martin but this is his answer to playing the Shocks.

ESPN: How significant is Saturday’s matchup at Wichita State?

Martin: I think it’s a big game for us. You’re talking about a very talented team, a team that did a great job making it to the Final Four. [Gregg Marshall has] done a good job of getting his guys to compete and play hard on a consistent basis, playing hard on both sides of the floor. I think it’ll be great for our guys. I think it’ll be a great atmosphere.
