    Top 144 Previews

    Predicted to finish 1st in MVC Conference, with a #10 seed in his mock bracket.

    "The 2015-16 season for Wichita State and head coach Gregg Marshall had some challenges that tested their resilience as they did drop a couple games during Missouri Valley Conference play. They also were left on the edges of their seats on Selection Sunday since the Shockers failed to win the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament. However, they did get in and took advantage of the opportunity in the First Four in Dayton by knocking off Vanderbilt and parlayed that into an upset over Arizona a few days later in Providence. This performance validated the at-large berth for the Wichita State and was a testament to the senior leadership of Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet..."

      Very interesting starting 5. Not a single mention of who will probably be the best player on the team (McDuffie). He's not even going to start for us apparently .... :banghead:

        I'd bet plenty of money that his starting five is NOT the one we see in the opener, and it's quite likely that (barring significant injury issues) that group won't ever start a game. No wonder the Shocks are only #37.

        Oh, well: (1) get underrated, (2) place chip on shoulder, (3) remind everyone why the Shockers do what they do under Marshall, (4) have people saying in March, here they are again. How did they do it without Baker and VanVleet?

            No way. There was a real reason. Boeheim was suspended for cheating so Syracuse clearly needed to move up in seeding. The fact that it impacted little ole WSU was just a random and unfortunate byproduct.

                Not as much as Fred Van Fleet and Rob Barker.

                  • I can't argue with their prediction. Still being at #37 after losing everything we lost shows the respect our program has earned.

                    • As low as that seems, we were seeded lower in the tournament last year. That's how bad our draw was.

                      • So am I really supposed to believe the ENTIRE lower bowl in Terre Haute has sold out?!? Come on....

                          Yes, that's known as collateral damage. Still, kudos to SHOCKvalue -- I did forget the underseeding part of the sequence of events.
