Because they aren't in our conference, don't have a football team and are only two hours away, I've decided to become a fan of them/their basketball team. They care about bball and win. Two hours would be a long drive but I'm considering buying season tickets for next year. Any shocker season ticket owners here?

you are buying in at the height of the tech bubble, I would be very careful here Rick.

It's almost enough for me to overlook the Koch brothers thing. I don't know. Conflicted here. I do like their players a lot.

easy Pete, their players are pretty much all gone next year

Right now, they are like '98 ksu football. Sure they lose bishop etc., but I trust in their coach to reload and then next thing you know it's '03 and they are winning conf champ against OU. I'll take that. It's not perfect, but I'll take it.

Its the '03 cats though, but it sounds like you are in too deep at this point.

99/00 were pretty fun too rick, so

Even without Baker and VanVleet they still should be good enough to be really good in the MVC and if they can find a decent PG they're probably back in the tourney next year.

Maybe, but I don't think so. Plus my wife's parents live in Wichita so we'd have a free place to stay for home games.

yea you are probably right, but man that window is closing fast. Markus McDuffie could be Ell Roberson.

You're making very good points. Ron=Jon. Good, but not quite good enough.

cfbandyman · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2016, 11:11:16 PM »

Next year might be rough for them, but McDuffie is a bonafide stud and will only get better.

Their entire sophomore class too is pretty good (Morris and Brown especially). If they can get that 6-10 whitey center to be any good, and get a guard, they will be a force for the next 2 years still.

I hate everything about WSU. If they are allowed to play that defense they will win - if the whistle gets blown like it did the entire season in the big 12 then they will beat.

In the first half of the AZ game the whistles were going against them, didn't matter. They turn you over, rebound, and are tougher. Boy, I miss that.

McDuffie will be a stud.
