Lindy created a great dive but does he know anything about college basketball?

“Just remember, the best part about kids is making them.” :)

They at least acknowledged WSU in the top right with Markis.

Oh, I agree. I think the cover is cool. Just curious why in their Top 10 list they skipped over #3 WSU to highlight #5 KU in blue. Perhaps it was just to make sure readers noticed KU below WSU in their ranking. I'm not sure how big their regions are for print, but I'm sure those two are in the same one.

How are the two guys for KSU and Nebraska bigger than anyone we have? Lol

Go Landry!

From August 18th article

[another shocker]

Raise your hand if 5 years ago you imagined an article like this, prior to any season, was a reasonable expectation.

What a ride this is!

5 years ago?! jim valvano said nearly 30 years ago that he wanted to coach at wichita state because he thought he could win a national championship here.

team "b" said nearly twenty years ago that wichita state is national championship calibre (program) that team "a" ridiculed.. beacause they should have already had a national championship in '65 (with stallworth and bowman was a no-brainer, slam-dunk).

sport magaine (then VERY reputable publication) ranked wichita state #1 preseason in '81-'82.

i know you grew up on wichita state in the 90's, royal shock. it pours from you. once turgeon left, it all opened up again. hallelujah. like it was before you were born, and definitely would be again.

Wichita state at # 9
Cincinnati at #15

These polls make other American teams seethe with anger and jealousy. We will definitely be the Super Bowl of the American and have targets on our backs just as in the Valley, but against more difficult competition.

"AAC Basketball: Breaking down the stars on each team in the conference" - FanSided

"...ichita State Shockers – SO Landry Shamet/JR Markis McDuffie

Although he is currently injured and could miss the beginning of the 2017-18 season, Landry Shamet will be a frontrunner to win AAC Player of the Year this season. One of the best players in the entire country, Shamet is dangerous in a variety of ways. He can beat you off the dribble, shoot it from deep, make plays for his teammates, and plays solid defense.

After medically redshirting his first year at Wichita State, Shamet had a top-notch freshman campaign with the Shockers. He averaged 11.4 points and 3.3 assists per game on a dazzling 43.9% from 3-point land. For the 2017-18 season, Wichita State is regarded as one of the top teams in the country and the favorite to win the AAC.

In addition to Shamet, the Shockers are privileged to have Markis McDuffie on the roster as well, who will need to step up as the #1 star while Shamet is injured early in the season. Once Shamet returns though, that duo will be one of the toughest to guard in the country.

The AAC boasts a lot of top talent this season, especially with Wichita State joining the conference. The hope is that they can send a bunch of schools to the Big Dance in March, but we will have to see how the season plays out. Star play is what can dictate big games, so which one of these stars will make something happen for their team?"
