I Bet They Don't Make The Final 4

From ESPN: The chant started when Ron Baker walked toward the Wichita State bench for the final time, and reached a crescendo when he popped the front of his jersey -- No. 31.
As in, 31-0. A perfect regular season.
"Undefeated!" the sellout crowd roared in unison. "Undefeated".
Baker finished with 13 points, Cleanthony Early led the way with 19 and the second-ranked Shockers rolled to a 68-45 victory over Missouri State on Saturday, becoming the first team since Saint Joseph's in 2004 to enter its conference tournament unbeaten.
Wichita State (18-0) will have a first-round bye in the Missouri Valley tournament next week....
The result is the best start since UNLV began 34-0 and lost in the 1991 national title game. Wichita State is also off to the best start by a Missouri Valley team since Indiana State, led by Larry Bird, won its first 33 games and fell to Michigan State in the 1979 title game

Tihe Shockers are a very good team but not a great team.
I would put my money they don't even reach the final 8 in the NCAA basketball tourney.
