Wichita BU game thread

And with that drop in RPI WSU's chance of making the NCAA tournament just went from 100% to 100%. I'm sure Bradley wishes they were a better team so when the shockers beat them it doesn't have to hurt WSU RPI.

We have bigger things to worry about than whether or not Wichita's RPI drops after they play us.

Well, those things go hand in hand. You fix those "bigger things" and WSU's RPI wont drop as much when we play you.

Right, and that's completely true. It would obviously be a benefactor of if we were better. I'm just saying that I couldn't really care less about whatever happens to Wichita's RPI after their second unit just beat us by 34 points.

Don't you know by now that the concerns of the school's team you cheer for means nothing?
If that team's loss, record, schedule, players, coach, administration, students, or fan base doesn't help Wichita State, it doesn't matter.

It's shocking to me the number of people around here that still don't get it.


Interested to see where Bradley goes from here. Tough to tell if there are some pieces in there or not, but I think Wardle did the right thing in just blowing it all up and starting over. JuCo guards would probably be a good idea.

Bradley at least has a new coach and is trying to right the ship. If Wardle bringing in all those freshmen works, it will be very beneficial for the league.

It is teams like MSU where they doubled down and a coach who isn't getting it done and are stuck with him that are a bigger problem.

I think he understands that every team needs to improve to make the conference better (scheduling, record, RPI, etc.), but what he is saying is he could give a rats a** about WSU RPI going down right now as Bradley has much bigger fish to fry internally. He isn't giving WSU pity over there RPI drop at all...nobody outside of WSU fans care that your RPI dropped even though we all understand the underlying premise of the issue.

Your problems are equivalent to a billionaire losing $1K in the stock market. Boo hoo.
His problems are equivalent to a homeless man losing all of his change and not having any money for food to survive. His problems are much bigger.

Well, I'm not saying that should do it to help WSU. But their lack of improvement to help themselves DOES hurt the rest of the league (not just Bradley). Even Evansville, with a great year for them, screwed themselves (and the rest of the league) by scheduling horribly OOC. Teams need to put themselves in position to play in the post season. That's an unrealistic expectation of 10-11 freshmen, so I wasn't trying to trash on Bradley, just pointing out how it affects the teams that ARE trying to be competitive at the top.

I think everything you said is true, but it appears that no one outside of WSU (and maybe UNI, ISUr) appear to care about their own RPI as well.
