Wichita State would be the weakest number 1 seed ever!

[will2survive]

Their degree of difficulty where opponents are concerned is a joke. So many non-number 1 seeds would beat them. Can't wait to see how this plays out.

they wont get the #1 seed. i say #3 seed

[Cuse0323]

They wouldn't have the same record in a major conference, yes. This team is no joke though, they have a great shot to make a run. The FF last year wasn't a fluke and they're even better now.

[ChiLLx]

No the weakest 1 seed actually happened last year and Wichita State beat them.

[ChiLLx]

they wont get the #1 seed. i say #3 seed

You can't be serious? The team just went 31-0.

[MiDNiTe]

i know their ranked num 2 in the nation how can they go to 3rd seed

[TwoWays]

it's a great story. and really u can't go undefeated without being darn good, which they are. any team that plays defense like they do will be a tough out, especially this year where the field is wide open.

[InTheDrink]

when you gueys start these threads do you even consider the fact that they made the final four last year?

[LT Profits]

They will be a #1 seed (as long as they don't lose in MVC Tournament), but this is a Sweet 16 team at BEST. As for weakest #1, as someone alluded to above, this has all the makings of Gonzaga last year, which Shockers beat in Round of 32.

[AchillesTG]

I believe they have a better Team than last year, which was not too shabby.

In 2013 Wichita State reached the Final Four of the NCAA Tournament, winning the West Regional with victories over the #1 team in the nation, Gonzaga, the #7 team in the country, Ohio State, the #20 team in the country, Pittsburgh, and La Salle, before losing to the tournament's top overall seed, Louisville.

[jjgold]

Strong team although have to win conference tourney

not many teams in ncaa history go undefeated in regular season

[pavyracer]

If you want to make things interesting put all 64 teams in a hat and draw the pairs. Then no one would complain about the seedings. It also gives a chance for the little guys who always get seeded #16.

so the teams that have dominated all season wouldnt complain when they play each other in the first round

This same team almost won the National Championship...there's a reason their 31-0...there's also a reason that the schools around them like Kansas, Kansas St, and Missouri won't play them in a non-conference game

[seaborneq]

If Wichita state is not one of the best teams based on the last two seasons work, then who is, Louisville?

[Bet10Heinekens]

You guys get caught up with the schedule,

look what 03-04 St. Joseph with Jameer Nelson and Delonte West did, undefeated regular, lost in the A-10 finals and still got #1 seed and made it to the Elite eight


like I said earlier in the year, this Shockers team is Final Four material, they present matchup problems for opposing teams with Baker and Early. Baker can post up vs smaller guards, while Early can stretch the defense with outside shooting for a power forward.

[meader99]

WSU was one crappy call away from being in the Championship last year. They are a gritty team that sometimes wins ugly. They play the right way. Butler made back to back runs.....Why not WSU?

[Skin24]

I agree meader99 this team is for real. I wish I bet them ats every game this year I would be up more then just the 3K for basketball.

They are going to make a run for the title trust me.

[RollinDo]

You can't be serious? The team just went 31-0.

No kidding. If you've seen them play, you know how dangerous they are and how consistent they are night in and night out.
They have proven they can beat the big boys last year in the Big Dance.
They will be the toughest out in the tourney I believe...such poise and determination in this group.

[cala56]

Wsu beat Alabama on the road, st Louis on the road (very strong team), destroy BYU at home. Today is one of the best teams. They will reach final four.

[PaperTrail07]

agree

[PaperTrail07]

The Stl who just lost?

[cala56]

Ten of the last 12 programs to make the Final Four have had ATS records of .500 or better that season. Only Kentucky (16-22 ATS) in 2012 and VCU (18-21 ATS) in 2011 have had losing records against the spread and made a run to the Final Four.

Wichita St. 21-6-1 Ats record.

leave it to pavy to say something stupid

[James D]

when you gueys start these threads do you even consider the fact that they made the final four last year?

Exactly.

They went to final four as a #9 seed. Beating Pitt/gonzaga/La Salle/ Ohio state before losing to eventual national champs.

So they graduated no one, beat a #1, #2, #8 and #13 seed. They then lost to louisville a #1 seed and eventual champ by 4 points, the closest game louisville had in the tournaments. How tough was louisville? Their average margin of victory for the tourney was 16 points and in the elite eight they crushed #2 duke 85-63.

They are a lock for a 1 seed if they sweep the board. They may even be the 2 seed overall.

You have Syracuse's ATS record handy?

Your obviously clueless about this team. Wichita State going back to the final four.

[Timmah2483]

Also, WSU is #1 ATS . they may have a sorry schedule but they are beating 14-18 pt spreads on the regular

[James D]

They do have a sorry schedule, conference is much weaker this year than last. But that doesn't change what this same group has done the last 13 months is very impressive.

[will2survive]

Not cluelsess. They're a great team, but that schedule is sub-par in comparison to the elite teams.

[InTheDrink]

ats means nothing when youre ranking teams

cleveland state is 21-7 ats

so theyre better than florida?
