So can you twist the AAC Commissioner's arm and make him cry uncle? Otherwise it's not going to happen. Right? At this point the MWC looks like more of a possibility because their Commissioner said that he is open to considering basketball only schools. BTW, I would personally prefer the AAC to the MWC

Yesterday was a wake up call...suddenly there is a little smoke.

Desperate times...

Didn't see it posted elsewhere, but Joey Hairpiece has us in the E8 as well:

AAC only gets 2 bids?

The American needs WSU so very badly...it gives us a 12th hoops school, and gives the AAC another very good basketball program.

UConn, Cincy, Memphis, SMU, Tulsa, Temple, AND Whicita State...man, we need that.

Its been brought up on the AAC forums:

http://csnbbs.com/thread-730931.html

"2) Time to add Wichita as the #12 Olympic sports member to balance Navy's football-only membership. Solid basketball with big crowds. Good baseball. They add an additional solid team to the roster and it costs each member virtually nothing (about $50K). Is it worth 50K to play in a improved basketball league? If not, youre not a member we really want."

The teams I want to do very well in the tournament:

1. First and foremost, Shockers, of course.
2. UNI - obviously good for the conference.
3. Texas - maybe a deep run will keep Barnes in his job

@ESPNLunardi: “@RegionRat14: @imPULSEivity @ESPNLunardi @ChrisLaGrow My two biggest peeves are Georgetown and Wichita State.” Both misseeded, I agree.

I want Texas to get blown out. They don't deserve to be in the tourney. And Marshall isn't going to Texas either way. Book it.

Nice! And preach it brother! I think the AAC would LOVE adding Wichita St. for all the reason you pointed out!!! Good work!

Can somebody confirm that game time for the Shox on Friday is at 1:45pm CST? I have been screwed by the Google machine before.

I enjoyed these replies by one guy:

@LostLettermen@ldock93 in that bracket? They're a top 10 team as a 7-seed. Sound like somebody recent?

@ldock93@LostLettermen or Natl Champs UConn last year who's roster is eerily similar to Wichita St

It's funny how we seem to be one of the recurring "sexy" dark horse picks this year.

When you're seeded about 3 lines too low, and everybody and their grandma knows it, that'll tend to happen. We would be a monumental darkhorse favorite if we were in any bracket other than Kentucky's.

I think we are better than the two teams we need to beat to make it to the sweet 16. I think notre dame gets upset in the first weekend. Len Elmore might be the only person who thinks anyone, let alone WSU, has a chance to beat Kentucky. That's where coaching and play angry kicks in. Once you beat Kentucky you believe you can beat any team in the tournament. And then you do.
