Yup funny, they drive all the way down to Wichita, but not play the shockers, that scared if you ask me. O well, i guess it is what it is.

what's the upside to it? We win, we beat WSU. We lose, we lose to WSU. What is the benefit to KSU? The smarter move is to continue taking the easy wins where they lie, and schedule teams who can challenge yet provide a respectable name should they prevail. Same formula every team uses when scheduling the non-con.

Eh. Nobody asked you and nobody who isn't a Shocker thinks that.

What that is, is the very definition of being insignificant - that being, Wichita State.

No no no. KU & KSU are scared to play WSU.

Actually, this argument has been going on for several decades that I am aware of.

IMO, neither school wants to pay WSU the respect to schedule them, as they fear they can only lose, and have nothing to gain in the recruiting battle.

It took WSU beating KU down in New Orleans, 1981 (Thank you Darnell Valentine and Mike Jones!) for KU to schedule the Shockers, but they waited until the Shockers were on probation, and had lost their stars.

The Shockers have pretty much sucked since the Eddie Fogler disaster, and only now deserve to play with the big boys. It has been a long road back to respectability, and I hate Eddie Fogler.

Roy Williams wanted 2 in Lawrence, for one in Wichita, and WSU wouldn't do it. IMO, if the Shockers continue to improve, the schedule will happen. They need to earn the respect, and they have a hell of a start.

It certainly is what it is. WSU plays in an insignificant conference. Nobody acknowledges them within the state and it makes some of their fans throw a tantrum like a 2 year old who is refused the sugary treat at the checkout counter.

So, they're playing 3 Div I and the rest Div I-AA schools.

Sounds about right for pre-season.

Other than the exhibition game vs. FT Hays, they are all D1 MBB teams.
