Looking ahead a little but our first game of the AAC tournament will be Tuesday at 6 pm on the ADN against either Wichita or Tulane.
Speaking of Wich Baseball. The natives are getting restless.

You’d think after basketball season, Wichita fans would realize they’re swimming in a deeper pond in this league.

Exactly. They moved from the 16th best conference from a year ago to the 4th best conference.
Granted, they weren’t exactly good in the MVC the last two years as they had losing records in conference in each of them. Probably is time to move on from Butler.
