WKU

[tower912]

9 players average double digit minutes.   McHenry, their leading scorer and assist man, is 6'2 and 160.   If healthy, I can guess who Stevie guards.
A bid stealer.  .500 in CUSA.

Iz Jim McDaniels still playin four WKU, hey?

Great.

Here's their schedule, just click and review.  I was sort of shocked.  They did not play one single game against a power conference, not one.  No Big East, Big 10, Big 12, ACC, AAC, SEC, and on and on.  And they had 11 losses to other teams, within their conference, not any power conference losses.

Jim McDaniels was a bad man on the court.....

Looks like they played Whicita St., my bad and they lost.

Pretty sure they expected a rebuild year

#1 in the country in tempo per KenPom.

Highest KenPom 15 seed, higher than two 14s as well.

They avg 80 per game. They run, rebound, and score against weaker competition. Don't shoot great from 3 or the line, and turn it over a lot.

Time to do a deeper dive

[The Sultan]

Yeah first year head coach. Someone said it earlier, but this would be the worst loss in Marquette tournament history.

Marquette should feast on turnovers in this game.  WKU doesn't do anything great that makes you concerned.

They lost 4 straight to close the season and missed the 1 and 2 seeds in the tournament due to upsets.

Line is 15 but think Marquette doubles that

I did and I'll stick to it.  Only eleven 2 seeds have lost to a 15 in NCAAT history and MU will not be number twelve.

Not with that attitude we won't

Yup. They obviously aren't a great team, so I expect Marquette to be in good shape.

Not very big and chuck up a ton of shots via that tempo.

The #1 tempo is the thing that jumps out at me. They will try to make it helter skelter, but Marquettes defense plays into that.

Steal, runaway dunk should be a big theme

[Jay Bee]

I'm seeing a few Chase Ross highlights in this one

[The Sultan]

Yep. I would much rather play an up tempo team than a disciplined team like Vermont last year.

[muwarrior69]

So Ty sits out another one?

[4everwarriors]

Nope. Its showtime, aina?

Bad knees when WKU was really good.

Welcome WKU fans.  You may have some problems registering with gmail addresses (it's an intermittent failure due to the idiots that run the place).  However, if gmail fails, most other email addresses work.

But...you better have thick skin here!

So, not dentists.

[PointWarrior]

Why are we even discussing WKU, we should be discussing second, third, and fourth round potential opponents?

You just want to jinx MU

WKU only has dental hygiene.  Unless we get a hygienist that hooked up with a dentist, I think we're safe.

Found a YouTube channel that looks to have a good amount of their full games posted:

(Can someone start a channel like this for MU lol?)

And resting Kolek and Stevie for fear of an aggravation.

Not a bid stealer.

CUSA was only going to get one bid.
