Must be really high on the Shockers if their worst-case scenario for this season is a 6 seed.
Stunning.Comment

No mention of Kelly. I think that is a mistake, from what I read on here.Originally posted by WuShock Reaper View Post"The Dagger's Preseason Top 25 with best-case and worst-case scenarios" - Yahoo Sports
The shockers come in at ____?"I not sure that I've ever been around a more competitive player or young man than Fred VanVleet. I like to win more than 99.9% of the people in this world, but he may top me." -- Gregg Marshall 12/23/13 :peaceful:

Remember when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare:
"We have to pass it, to find out what's in it".
A physician called into a radio show and said:
"That's the definition of a stool sample."Comment

That piece took some time to write. Pretty fun read.Comment

What would be funnier is if Self left and they hired Turg who then promised to build the program back to Wichita State levels.Originally posted by WuShock16 View Post"Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should accomplish with your ability."

Pretty funny may be an understatement: "Kansas cedes the Big 12 to Texas and Jayhawks fans learn that league titles are not a birthright. They're also reminded that deep NCAA tournament runs aren't either when Kansas falls for a second straight season in the Round of 32 — to in-state foe Wichita State no less."Originally posted by WuShock16 View Post
Wonder why the Shocks have fallen from #8 to #9 in Bleacher report over the past couple of months, though. No encouragement from reports on the pickup games due to the coaching staff's Cone of Silence?Comment

My only problem was that it said they would fall in the sweet 16. That's way better than a /worst/ case scenario. Two years ago they lost in the first round of the NIT with an incredibly stacked team.Originally posted by wu_shizzle View PostComment

With three more preseason polls released in the last week, I now have the Wichita State Shockers leaning closer to being rated #9 than #10. Our main competition seems to be Louisville #7, Florida #8, Virginia #10, and Texas #11. Can't imagine WSU breaking #6 or lower to start the season, but you never know with maybe a practice injury, a he said/she said front page news story, or someone missing their mommy, etc.

Well, this didn't take very long:
Texas has our first "he said/she said casualty - "Martez Walker withdraws from Texas"
This will cause them to lose a few votes, as he was a solid bench player last year.
and
Nebraska - Future/potential Diamond Head Classic opponent - "B.J. Day tears ACL, will miss season"
Won't likely cause them to lose to many, if any votes, but we need them to be at full strength for the entire season.Comment
