Currently Conner is catch and make.

Wichita State's margin of victory in MVC play (22.7 PPG) is over seven points more than the 2013-14 team that entered NCAA Tourney unbeaten.

It's game day folks!

But Palm says we lost games in December when we were supposed to be at our best...or something stupid.

Indeed. Conner is catch it, put some hot sauce on it, $cash it in$, sniper!

Frankamp has also started shooting off of screens. He wasn't doing that early in the year - at least not successfully. It could be that his height is a disadvantage shooting behind a screen. It's hard to see over a 6'8" guy to find the basket is.

Straight cash, Homie!

From the AP:

Press WICHITA, Kan. -- Landry Shamet and Darral Willis Jr. scored 14 points apiece and Wichita State throttled Northern Iowa 77-43 on Saturday to run its winning streak to 10.

Markis McDuffie added 12 points for the Shockers (25-5, 15-1 Missouri Valley), who reached 25 wins for the eighth year in a row. Shamet hit four 3-pointers and Wills grabbed 11 rebounds to help Wichita State dominate the boards 48-23

Can somebody tell me who our five losses are to so far this season please? It's this kind of BS that makes me question the kind of treatment we get by the NCAA and Selection Committee. Yeah, it's subtle but right before folks are going to be placing their ballots at a critical time for us.

Yeah that's horseshit!!!! C'mon AP!!!

"Worst Possible Second-Round Matchup for Projected NCAA Tournament 1-Seeds" - Hero College Sports News

Which teams could destroy the Final Four aspirations of Kansas, Villanova, Baylor, and Gonzaga?

http://herosports.com/news/college-basketball-ncaa-tournament-no-1-seed-no-8-9-seed-fear

"GONZAGA - WICHITA STATE

I talked to Peter Woodburn, writer for the fantastic site Slipper Still Fits, about which of these potential 8/9 seeds Gonzaga wants to avoid. He said Wichita State would be the toughest test for the Zags.

The 'Horror of 2013' still echoes with Bulldog fans, when the exact situation we're talking about happened to them; 1-seed Gonzaga lost to 8-seed Wichita State in the second round. Then had to watch as the Shockers went on to the Final Four. "

[AndShock]

The KU writer is more scared of Miami than Wichita State? I don't buy it.

[Kel Varnsen]

We'd really struggle to match up with the Zags' size. Not so much with KU. The "Gonzaga should be afraid of WSU because WSU beat them four years ago when Gonzaga was a 1 seed" narrative is kind of lazy.

We match up as good as most. Three guys 6'8 260, 6'10 240, and 6'9 230 which makes for 15 fouls and all good offensive threats to attack Karnowski.

I decided to stop by phog.net and of course they already have a 4 page topic on 4/5 seeds they want to avoid. March is going to be glorious.

The Beakers should be concerned about 8/9 seeds they will face if they win their first game. The Beakers are very suspect this year which is why I pray if the Shockers receive an 8 or 9 seed they play in a Region with KU as the 1 seed.
