I hope I'm wrong but I'm not sure if we can get 3000 Shocker fans there even if we give away the tickets. So it will be embarrassing if KState has 150% to 200% more fans in our house. On the positive side, it does provide more revenue and boost our attendance numbers.

There may have been one or two women's basketball games where Missouri State fans outnumbered us in Jackie Stiles Freshman and Sophomore years. In Jackie's Junior and Senior years there were good numbers of MSU fans but Shocker fans responded well to the promotion and hype with those games to produce two near sellouts which I believe are still the top 2 highest attended women's games in Valley History.
As great as Jackie Stiles was she was only 1-3 against the Shockers in Wichita:
1997-98 Season: Shockers 87 - Bears 82; Attendance = 6,882; Coach - Linda Hargrove
1998-99 Season: Shockers 58 - Bears 56; Attendance Unknown; Coach Darryl Smith
1999-00 Season: Shockers 87 - Bears 82; Attendance = 10,529; Coach Darryl Smith
2000-01 Season: Shockers 85 - Bears 89 OT; Attendance = 10,612; Coach Darryl Smith
In the 3 wins the Shocks were somewhat similar to the current teams in that they were lead by quick, aggressive, athletic guards Lateesha Hill and Keomi Johnson. In the 2000-01 the Shockers become more inside oriented with Jennifer Kaczka and Angela Butler leading the way.
Those were some great games.

Here is the box score: http://www.goshockers.com/fls/7500/s...07/07bw-05.htm
Emily Stockman and Sara Lungren were very good but K-State had much better depth.

Old Dominion is another non-P5 program that once was very good in WBB that has declined significantly in recent years.Last edited by 1972Shocker; November 4, 2014, 03:27 PM.
