'18-'19 Conference Opponents to be announced Thursday morning

Wichita State has three known non-conference opponents currently: Providence, Baylor, and OU. Their RPI will be just fine. RPI is about who you play not just if you win. Look at Temple last year. Top 50 RPI for much of the year and their overall record was nothing special.

wichita had a similar turnover a few years ago and still made the tourney…im not saying wichita makes the tourney, but they will still be a top 100 rpi team.

and it was never about wichita, it was about tulane, ecu and usf…you can tell who the conference thinks will have a good season by how many of the 3 you play twice

there are 2 perceived good team in the aac outside of us; cincy, doesnt play any twice. ucf, only plays usf twice (and that is because they are rivals and will always play twice)…

we are stuck playing play 2 of them twice…and the worst 2 of the 3…tulane is bad but top 200 rpi bad…usf and ecu could be 300 rpi teams

whoever made these schedules didnt think we’d be very good

Funny…I think we will be the top team in our conference.

We definitely have a chance. Conference is wide-open this year. If the new guys integrate themselves quickly and our bigs can stay on the floor, we should definitely be up there.
