Wichita State will play Memphis next season

Same here, if it's the weekend game I wouldn't mind heading up there for that game.

Sounds good. Especially if the game is on TV, and provides a payout to both schools.

That said, I really wish the college basketball world would move towards more marquee home-and-home games on campus sites and away from having all these games at neutral sites. People wonder why they can't fill home arenas.....

Kudos to the staff for landing this one. They are making the best of the current landscape.

Looks like 5 of their top 8 scorers are seniors, including their top 2, 5th, and 6th scorers. They'll be young/inexperienced next year.

Sioux Falls roll call?

If it's a weekend, I'm in.

Me too...

Oh, and did I mention I guarantee at least two raucous Shocker fans at the game?

I can guarantee 3. (not me, a friend in SD though)

From a post on that web site.

I was on their board the other night of the full moon...they really dislike the same people we do, such as Goatlube. (that's what they call him)


I felt an immediate kinship.

This is going to be a good game. Nice arena. Great opponent. And lots of MONEY!!

I like it a lot.

To quote Coach Marshall, "This is just the beginning"

Fast lane.....Bitches!

[UofMemphis]

Memphis will play anyone deserving...and WSU is deserving...We know what it's like so we'll schedule teams like WSU, Gonzaga, Xavier (before moving to the BE)

Someone going to start a next year schedule thread to sticky and update?

Away:

Neutral: Memphis, Diamond Head Classic

[UofMemphis]

I'm already annoyed with Memphis fans.

The folks at MT.org are loons...there is a small group of trolls who hate Pastner and have made the board terrible.

CBS Sports all over this: "Marshall told CBSSports.com on Tuesday that he's reached an agreement that'll have his Shockers playing Memphis next season at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls on Nov. 18. The game will be a part of the ESPN Tipoff Marathon and start late in the afternoon."

Road game with Detroit I believe. Return game of bracketbuster

7 hour drive from ICT

Maybe we can pay the guarantee (after getting this money from S.Dakota) and get out of a road game to Detroit that will bring down our SOS and RPI.
