Glider?

no that would have to be a sailplane. Gliders don't gain altitude whereas a sailplane can.

But speaking of JH4P, it's refreshing not having to put up with his BS during the off-season. It's not all that surprising to see him off the radar right now as WSU is doing very well, too well for even him to try and tear down with his dose of "reality".

I predicted WSU would be a 5 last year. They got a 7. Sorry I always "tear down" WSU so hard. Next time, I'll predict a 0 seed. Automatic national champion by default!

I can’t 100% promise WSU will be a 5 seed, but I think it is FAR AND AWAY the most likely at this point.

Who would have ever thought that scrolling down such a list, you would find two WSU players before encountering anyone associated with KU/KSU?! Turgeon did great things here, but I don't think he would have ever dreamed of such a scenario "at this level".

It is nearly impossible to over-state how good of a job Marshall has done at WSU.

DJ Balentine rated lower than he should be. He is at the very least top 50.

I personally think Ron is being a little undervalued at #16. Hopefully, he will have clearly proved that point by the end of the season.

EMock from EVille should be on the list as well.

It was pretty obvious the committee scrubbed the correct seed line last year for WSU so they could set up the KU matchup. There is no way in hell WSU should have been a 7 seed. So you bragging about being 2 seeds higher than a clearly underrated hose job put out by the NCAA is pretty damn hilarious.

You go girl.

Nice to see Ron get recognized as the MVC Player of the Year last year. A well-deserved honor.

By the way, the mobile version of this article is really jacked up. They had some random dude pictured for Ron while Ron's picture was attached to Perry Ellis.

i would have. turgeon must have had a mental block to antoine carr, cliff levingston, xavier mcdaniel, ozell jones, dave stallworth, cleo littleton etc.

he was probably fixated on al beal, ed nealy, waymon tisdale, rolando blackmon and danny manning.

team "b" always said that wichita state was capable of a national championship. team "a" laughed at that. why were fogler and turgeon so blind to jump ship at nearly first blush, where marshall wasn't? fogler and turgeon both could have gone to the final four at wichita state, had they stuck around.. i have no doubt. none. now marshall has been to a final four and they, for all their silver spoon upbringings, have not.

and any good coach could do great things at wichita state, jamar. there just haven't been enough of them.

Hilarious? Maybe. Seeded "correctly"? Probably.

This argument is a little weak.
