I seriously doubt they're worried about losing to them in the regular season. Tourney? Absolutely. But not the regular season.

Me too, it would be good for basketball in KS. It would draw TV and great crowds. Three game series. One game in Larryville, one in Doo Dah and one in KC.

ESPN offered a KU/Wichita State showdown at Sprint Center and at Allen Fieldhouse. KU turned down both of them.

KU plays cupcakes every year and pays them to come to Lawrence to get destroyed. WSU had a top 50 RPI for most of the year. Further, they beat UNI in Wichita. It would be fun to see two 100 plus year old programs play some exciting pre-conference ball. The networks would cover it and the games would be sellouts.

well if they would play them more in non conference, maybe KU wouldnt have such big issues with valley teams in the tourney.

I would be all for that. No idea why they would turn it down. But I seriously doubt it's cause they're scared. Despite what happened tonight, I'm quite certain that KU would beat UNI or WSU a lot more times than they would lose to them no matter where they play. But it would be good experience for that style of basketball.

Actually, KU plays teams with a variety of different styles, so they can adapt to different tempos and strengths. You can call them cupcakes, but I think you'll find there is something to what I'm saying.

Its fear, lose to Wichita State and KU would look 10 times worst than they do today. Its same reason Mizzou won't take our calls either. After we spanked them in Columbia last time.

WTH is wrong with me today I am sticking up for the Shuckers. :)

ChiefaRoo 03-20-2010 07:43 PM
Bottom line the Valley schools and their Big12 regional rivals should play. It's better for both leagues. It adds excitement to the season and that way KU doesn't have to pay some chump school to get killed in Lawrence and WSU doesn't have to schedule f8gging Lamar or Sacramento State.
