Wichita writer:The Wichita State bench would finish 2nd in the MVC?

[SycamoreFanatic]

If they are so deep and so ****ed good why did they just go "Ofer" their recent tourney and lose the games they have. Surely they could have compensated for a man or two down wouldn't you think? Instead they have blown their "at-large" hopes for the season. It isn't based on what you have done in the past. It is based on what have you done for me lately and this group hasn't done anything yet.

An arrogant bunch over there from sports writers, fans and all.

I know -- and most Bradley fans wish them well....
for the most part- just less than a decade ago in 2006 and 2007 I'd say Bradley and Wichita were neck & neck as both were coming off substantial post-season success (Sweet 16)...with tremendous opportunities if the right people made the right decisions to guide the future...

but at that time, Wichita made the right moves and the right hires ..while Bradley sadly made a series of really bad moves and hires.....
Wichita's attendance, fan base, and basketball success has exploded, while Bradley's attendance, fanbase, and basketball success has imploded and been all but knocked back to DII level (which appears to have actually been the plan all along by our bad hires)
It leaves all of us lifelong, loyal Bradley fans and donors wondering what might have been if the Board had not made that horrible, fateful move in August of 2007. ***

Now comes word that the Wichita State President is looking at leaving the Missouri Valley Conference for greener pastures-

Home in the MVC since 1945, Wichita State wants to consider a new neighborhood

Wichita playing well while Utah shooting poorly & turning the ball over...
Conner Frankamp was supposed to shoot the lites out when he got eligible, but now 1/2 thru his 2nd game for the Shockers, he's 0-9.

Wichita State defeated by Seton Hall today. So much for that second team thing.

Grady returned to the court today.

Even after the loss to Seton Hall I believe the writer might be right. Anyone looked at the Valley lately?

Ummm...yeah I have. UNI has now beat UNC and Iowa State. If you think the SHOX second team is better than the Panthers then I say you're mistaken. I'm not convinced their first team is better.

That depends on which UNI team shows up. The one that won against UNC and Iowa State? Or the one that lost to Colorado State and got stomped by New Mexico

I agree with that. By the same token, it also depends if it's the WSU team that beat Utah or the one who lost to a mediocre Seton Hall team.

Where did I say that the SHOX 2nd team is better than the Panthers. Didn't the poster say that in his opinion their 2nd team would finish SECOND in the MVC?

When did Seton Hall join the MVC?

[Stickboy46]

I agree with that. By the same token, it also depends if it's the WSU team that beat Utah or the one who lost to a mediocre Seton Hall team.

WSU wins that match up 9 out of 10 times on a neutral floor with neutral refs. It's hard to win close games with the other team getting 21 more free throws and making 16 more free throws. Plus Seton Hall is better than the vast majority of the MVC.

Did the writer mean Wichita starters first, second string second or did he mean the Wichita starters don't play so another team first and Wichita second string second?

I would logically assume the latter.
