Look at who KU has played.Strength of schedule.
x2 Ku is playing the toughest schedule in the country, and they also just knocked off 4 straight ranked opponents which hasn't been done since 96-97.Quote:

I have no problems with either team. But nobody will come and play WSU at home. There schedule is what it is through no fault of there own except not losing. As time progresses IF they maintain this wonderful run then they might get better teams to come play them.
This team this year has 5 starters that played to the final four last year against some "good teams" beat 3 of them and played closer to the national champion then anybody did in the tournament. They can complete with anybody in the nation. It may not last forever but I am sure enjoying the ride.
Not that it is ever going to happen but if they play KU I hope it is in the early part of the year why KU is still putting it together. Edge goes to WSU then, late in the year I would give the edge to KU (even thou I hate to say that).
I just hope that all 3 Major KS schools get or keep it going. It is great to say that 3 schools from KS all made the dance.

Can you say 20 and 0. Go WSU!!!
Someone tried to tell me the other day that WSU wasn't athletic enough………………..hmmmmm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otMEH...ature=youtu.be
a lot can be said about talent but like fishin sometimes a lot can be said bout experience ??
Gotta love basketball in Kansas this year. Proud!
Wsu might not be the biggest team , most talented team, or even the most talented. But they have plenty of each of those with a extremely high BB IQ. Combine that with better team work (unselfishness) then all teams and they can go far.
There isn't one player you need to stop, there is 5 or 6. The all American (early) is ok with passing up scoring 20+ a game if anybody else has a better shot or hot hand. Point guard that can easily score 20a game would rather have 10 assist.
2 guard who also can light it up for 20+ will not shoot to help team mates and does everything that goes under the radar.
Add the top defender in the nation, that can score. Mix in 3 bigs that all bring a different skill set to the table. Lots of fouls to give.
It is a great season.
Plus we keep the guards for next year.
Add in the team chemistry and the level of maturity (no Legal issues)
Its great to be a shocker.
Don, headed to Des Moines this evening to watch them play Drake tomorrow!
Need someone to help drive? Have a great trip. Be safe. Yell loud.
now I know how those k-state and Missouri fans feel when some of those Jayhawk fans are posting gets a little sickening?????
watched the shoxs play at home tonight. yes it was a easy win but boy was it ugly. Last time I ever invite shane to go to a game. every time he goes they play bad...........
wsu must be for real see they are stealin jersies in Wichita don't think I have ever seen one????
They might play bad but they win with me there...:biggrinQuote:

As long as they win. Kinda like how I fish. UGLY
Keep winning!
Great job WSU! Last unbeaten team in the country!
Should they b #1? RPI says no, I would like them 2 b #1.
Unfortunaley they shouldnt be #1 the RPI kills them but thats not all their fault. If the big schools wont play the hand delt to them, good news is that KSU is entertain the option of playing WSU!
all that winnin in a row is Great Butt winnin those last 6 in a row takes a lot of talent ,a lot of experience which they have and a lot of LUCK which we'll see good luck shock's
Gonna have to get another WSU hat, that way when march madness come I can go back an forth from purple to black an gold! Unless they run into each other, then its all purple!
Latest bracketology had them all in the same Regional. That could be fun!
might be in a different tourney???Quote:

Could be fun to watch, but would suck to knock to eaxh other out early potentially.Quote:

As much as I agree about the rpi. Look at what they don't have. A loss. Compare that to anybody else worse loss. Creighton is owning the big east. Yet they lost 5 games in the valley last year. They are not any better this year then last year. They went 2-1 with way last year. It's hard to win in conference as all teams know what you do. Look at all the head scratching losses in conference for everybody else in any conference. Creighton will be lucky to be 500 next year. Is way the best team. yES. Do they have the best players NO. Can team work make up for talent. We shall see.
way to go WSU!!!!-34-0!
