Morris might actually kill a fool this year. I’m glad they got out of the valley.

For sure, the absolute perfect coach for the Shockers. Been a long time coming since the Smithson days. |

Thanks for starting this thread! Very happy with the team so far. Glad we moved to AAC and I love that we have 2 Big 12 scalps on the wall this season! Looking to grab OU next. GO SHOX!

The AAC was a great move and has a great record against the top 25 so far this year. |

Yeah that was a nice poke at Self. It triggered some discussion here at the house because my oldest daughter is a KU fan but she's not the typical cocky KU so thats nice. She likes the Shockers as well and agreed KU should do some type of regular non-conference meeting.

I was actually going to make this thread a week ago but hadn't gotten around to it. WSU has a team that should make the Elite 8/Final 4 this year. Anything else would be a disappointment in my eyes.
After 2 good wins over Baylor and OSU. (Destroying the Big 12 ) WSU should be ranked in the top 5 today. I am guessing they will be rank 3rd and leap frog over the Jayhawks. |

They should leapfrog them, didn't KU lose it's second game in a row to a PAC-12 team yesterday? That just isn't right. My guess is they have a bunch of "one and dones" that haven't come together yet, but I haven't paid much attention. Sure enjoying the Shocks games being on the tube here in the Ozarks. |

Kansas lost to a very good ASU team. However, the lost to Washington was a really bad loss. They only have 7 scholarship players right now and could be a good team by the end of the year. They were just ranked way to high because of the name on their jersey. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/rankings Also I love the move to the AAC. So amazing to be able to watch Wichita State and their entire conference on National Channels. The exposure is going to do us wonders in recruiting. |

As far as this being the best WSU team, I don't think it's there, but man are they a lot of fun to watch play. Though it is amazing how much better they are with Frankamp on the bench. Even when Connor is hitting shots, he's giving them up on the opposite end. I do have one minor gripe. I love everything else about his game, but man is Shamet a flopper. Great defender, good scorer, and good field general, but man, I just can't stomach floppers. I know it's part of the game and if the refs are going to reward him for doing it, he should keep doing it. Still leaves a bad impression for me.

Shamet is an amazing player. I really really hate the flopping also. I just don't like basketball being played that way. But it is how the game is played now so use what you can. However, Shamet needs to stop with all the turnovers this year. He had an amazing assist/turnover ratio last year but I think he is just pushing it to much. Some really bad passes lately that we just don't need. They actually moved Connor to point guard last game and we played a lot better after that. Now the best part. This month we get back statistically our best player back from last year. McDuffie is a hell of an offensive and defensive threat. Plus that should end up putting Brown on the bench who is a complete offensive liability at this point. Can't wait to see how good we can be once McDuffie is back in the starting line up. This could be a really special season. |
