Of course the answer is 2nd, behind a GREAT Southern Illinois team that should have never been discounted.

Why don't you concern yourself with trying to keep your new coach from becoming the next UMKC assistant instead of rolling your eyes at your perceived failures of a WSU program that waved bye bye to piss ant programs like yours a long time ago. :roll:

I see that the move 45 miles away hasn't lessened the John Wilkins hype any
