27 Wins A Year For 4 Years

by **Aargh** » February 23rd, 2013, 10:39 pm

Demetric Williams is averaging 26 wins a season and on his way to 27. I think it's 3 more wins and he will average 27 wins a year for his entire career.

7 more wins isn't out of the question, but that would be an incredible finish to WSU's season. 7 more wins would put DWill at an average of 28 wins for his career.

I haven't kept track of other team's 4-year records. Are there any other Valley players with career wins averages in those ranges? I think CU might have some players with those kinds of wins/season averages.

Off the top of my head:

12-13 = 24 and counting
11-12 = 27 wins
10-11 = 29 wins
09-10 = 25 wins

Is that correct? Williams is the only player to play all four of those years.

Orukpe played is the only other player left from the 10-11 team, which means he is averaging 28 per year going into this season…

As much fun as it is to make fun of Gregggg Marshall, he has your program in a great place as far as winning games. I like the depth and energy and defense he brings to the shockers. Not quite as hard nosed as SIU's former teams, but more depth and in a few years i could definately see Wichita be very much like the great SIU teams under Bruce Webber? i believe it was Bruce Webber, not sure. BTW, aside from Creighton's 02'-03' team, Some of those SIU teams were my favorite college ball teams of all time, so take this as a compliment. Idk if anyone will ever be as hard nosed and tough, scrappy, as those SIU teams were, but at the same time, you guys have a better ability to bring more highly touted recruits in than SIU had, i would imagine. So its not an exact comparison, but similar in the defense first and high energy mentality.

I did a quick look at recent history, just last 20 years or so, no Valley player has career win totals as high as him I don't think. There is definately players who's 4 year careers have totaled a better 4 year stretch for their respective teams, but not as far as total wins. Creighton for 6 years between 1999-2004 , pick any period of 4 years in there, and also SIU for 6 years between 2002-2007, pick any period of 4 years in there. These stretches were certainly better "4 year periods" overall, but not as far as total wins.
