I'm considering updating the Shamet/McDuffie thread. There wasn't that much to report this year. They just both made 1st team and were #2 and #3 for PoY voting. Nothing to write home about.


But, according to you Shocker fans...Does 1st team really mean that much when you play in a league that, as you Shocker fans say, is terrible?
That's like bragging about being the skinniest fat guy on the show Biggest Loser. You're still fat.


Good luck in the AAC. You won't have "king" status there WSU fans. Your ego's may take a small hit when Connecticut fans flash you their national championship history.

I am in total agreement with you. That's why no WSU fans made much of the all-conference honors WSU players got.

I'd rather not have "king" status. I'd rather have some competition, which the Valley has been providing less and less of every year lately.

EU should do what SWOMO does - sell cattle, or go to D2.

Wichita State made a Final Four and was a #1 seed from the Missouri Valley Conference.

Clearly this move is one they have to and should make....but to act like the Valley is the SWAC is also a joke.

Wichita will be fine without the Valley and the Valley will be fine without Wichita. Everyone move on.

"The hottest fire creates the strongest steel." Yes, we're moving on.

It appears that Jim Harrick was right. Wichita State really was a sleeping giant.

A sleeping giant that has been out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament just three times in 37 years? Clearly WSU has been the best in the conference the last 6 years. I'd think a giant makes it out of the first weekend at a higher rate than that.

That 1 seed resulted in a first weekend loss.

A school that has 2 national championships in the last 7 years talking down to us and hoping we keep our coach so we can provide good competition is much preferable to a bunch of ankle biters hoping our coach leaves so they can have a chance at competing.

Didn't take long for sentiments to get nasty.

I wish the MVC the best. It will be interesting to see who emerges as next year's front-runner.

Maybe the Redbirds and Shox should schedule a home and home starting next year.

No reason for hard feelings here. WSU has set itself apart these last several years and any of us would be glad to be in their place.
