"lightly regarded league" man when they hired Greg Marshall the MVC was coming off multiple tournaments where they sent multiple teams. I'm a Creighton fan and I remember seeing 3-4 bid seasons with some people speculating even 5 teams one year making it in. 2006 alone saw 4 teams get invited to the NCAA tournament with 2 making the sweet 16. They went an entire decade 1998-2008 where they sent MORE than one team to the big dance every year. The MVC was never more highly regarded in their life.
Depressed Ginger I need you to go back and re-review the MVC back in the 00’s and 10’s. It wasn’t some scrub conference you’re making it out to be. It was an absolute blood bath. Everyone respected the MVC in those days
As someone who worked in the WSU Athletic Department during thses times, this is very sad to see. Those were some great days for WSU athletics as a whole, we dominated the MVC is all sports, not just basketball. Some of the best days of my career were there during that run from 2013-2018
Wichita State was a very good program in the late 70's and early 80's...they were ranked #1 in season a few times during the Antoine Carr /Cliff Levingston years
ECU fan here. Wichita State was awesome during some of the best years of college basketball imo. NIL has changed basketball so much in just a couple of years. Who knows how the sport will look on this level in 10 years
Their 2014 loss to Kentucky is right there with 2005 Illinois-UNC, 2008 Memphis-Kansas, 2010 Butler-Duke, and 2015 Wisconsin-Duke in terms of games everyone wishes went the other way.
As an Illinois State alum, it was always a great time going to watch Wichita State from 2013-2017! It was only right to hate them because they were the rivals but I respected their squad!
I always loved their name Shockers. The mascot looks neat and I just had to look up and learn the back story about it years ago when they were playing so well.
They left the MVC and they fired Greg Marshall. The Marshall firing is the main reason they’ve fallen off, it’s pretty plain and simple to understand when a college program loses its leader/architect, they’re going to change…
Sometimes a coach just has the correct formula to win in a place - whether it be Marshall at Wichita, Chaney at Temple, Sampson at Houston, Stevens at Butler, Carlesimo at Seton Hall, etc. They succeed wildly in a place where no one else has been able to match their results.
The committee loves to screw with small teams who have good Years. They have two tactics that they use. They will put them with another very good small school so that one of them gets Taken Out or they give them a tough draw with a established program. Usually they like to group all the sleeper teams in one region so that only one can come out.
Their mistake was leaving the MVC. That conference has evolved into one of the most underrated conferences (like, you can make an argument comparing it to the A10 at this point) for the AAC where it's just too far above their head. Too low population of a state to handle three legitimate powerhouses at state schools
I agree...had they'd stayed in the MVC they'd be a little bit more competitive especially with these mid major conferences changes it kinda takes away from building a great conference...just like BYU going to the Big 12..if they woulda stayed in the WCC they'd be the best school in that conference
I won a pile of money in the tourney that year Wichita St was 32-0. Their bracket was insane with underseeded UK the 8 seed, prime Pitino Louisville the 4, and Michigan the 2 when they were rolling. I took UK to get to the finals in a big money tourney pool of like 500 entries and they actually made it with a couple of late 3s in a tourney full of upsets. No one in the pool had the team that beat UK to win it, UCONN. So i won first prize. Probably lost all that money back since then. Cool story bro😂.
My bracket pools always let you have 3 brackets and as the son of a UCONN alum and someone who grew up in CT, I was the only one insane enough to pick the 7 seed to win, but I have to do one every year with them winning
This was a great video! I remember as a kid being "shocked" at how good witicha state was. Also I don't think it's fair to call vanvleet washed he stills puts up decent numbers
I remember when Wichita State upset Dayton in the NCAA tournament in 2017. Shame to see them have a collapse in recent years, but it doesn't suprise me.
I like the new coach will take time to build. Loved those ron baker years. Hes the reason im still a fan. Also if GM wasn't a total lunatic he'd pry be winning games for us still!
side note: I don't expect anyone to play Cal Poly in the tournament because they've been so bad for so long now. i know it was just a small bit but just sad to see their A.D just not care about the program
“Lightly regarded league” yea okay 😂 the Missouri Valley had four teams in the NCAA Tournament in 2006 and arguably should have had six. The MVC may have been the best conference outside of the power conferences.
So when teams like Louisville get their championship vacated, was the entire tournament that year a waist of time and money? Did the runner-up claim it that year, or is there not one?
During their peak years they tested the refs to see if they’d be willing to foul out every single player… that was part of their success/ strategy, and it was ugly.
The downfall was cuz we had an incompetent AD that had no idea what he was doing and fired Marshall and hired a third tier assistant (that was so unqualified) for that job and set the program back 5 years
But where the Rockets are at, I don't think Van Fleet is washed but in my city, its either they barely get in the postseason but battling in the play in tournament or tank, but its due to having the Nets' pick from the Harden trade not long ago & also having OKC's pick as well, but in the NBA the issue is even being a little under .500 isn't good enough to make moves to get Top 5 players in a draft
TheIR basketball and baseball program got them in the AAC. They have not lived up to the expectations. I happen to be a big a a c fan and i'm disappointed On how they have performed. I like them though and there is hope. But we were expecting a little more
Averaging 17-6-4 for five straight seasons is “basically washed” for an NBA player? 😭 FVV was an All Star two years ago and isn’t even 30 yet. Great video though
SKIP Horrible video, narrator sounds like he just pulled his rig out of the crick down in the holler. Talks bad about Fred as a recruit. Says how "some" didn't even have him listed. Never mentions any names of lists Fred wasn't on.
I Agree, I worked at WSU at the time and said it was a bad move. The conference is now essentially Conference USA, we had deep ties/rivalries in the Mo Vally
VanVleet is not washed, he’s literally having a career high average in assists this year 😂

This right here. MVC consistently gives the best underdogs come MM.
The guy who made this video has no clue what he’s talking about. He’s probably 25, can’t be too harsh. But the MVC was a bloodbath in the 2000’s
Ginger isn't well known for his research...or his knowledge
@@mark_kline no excuse. Same age and I knew that even though I’m not a super fan of college basketball.
Don't forget Bruce Weber at Southern Illinois, Steve Alford at SW Missouri@@mark_kline
Real ones remember Cleanthony Early, Knicks legend
Edit: this mane really said “La Sally” lmao
I wish he would've stayed outta Queens just one less night. He was fun to watch
Early was tough I liked him. The last play vs Kentucky should have gone to him.
@@bnegs521real, Fred was missing all game idk why we went to him
Depressed Ginger I need you to go back and re-review the MVC back in the 00’s and 10’s. It wasn’t some scrub conference you’re making it out to be. It was an absolute blood bath. Everyone respected the MVC in those days
Absolutely
Their mascot creeps me out. Seriously, when they were popular, I had nightmares about that wheat shock guy.

I mean, all sports but football…
big fan of your channel from Wichita - can't believe you even did this video! Awesome.
Wichita State was a very good program in the late 70's and early 80's...they were ranked #1 in season a few times during the Antoine Carr /Cliff Levingston years
Indeed. It was a good video but perhaps a bit more historical context on WSU basketball might have improved it.
Agreed, seemed like a missed opportunity not getting the full WSU Basketball history.
Saying the MVC was lightly regarded and that pronunciation of la salle told me everything I needed to know
ECU fan here. Wichita State was awesome during some of the best years of college basketball imo. NIL has changed basketball so much in just a couple of years. Who knows how the sport will look on this level in 10 years
The 2014 UK-WSU game was the best game in that tourney. The last 10 minutes was insane with both teams throwing multiple haymakers at each other.
Which never should have taken place in the second round.
Calling Van Vleet washed is crazy but great video still
Their 2014 loss to Kentucky is right there with 2005 Illinois-UNC, 2008 Memphis-Kansas, 2010 Butler-Duke, and 2015 Wisconsin-Duke in terms of games everyone wishes went the other way.
Speak for yourself
@@cc-sh1thNo, no. He speaks for everyone.
As an Illinois State alum, it was always a great time going to watch Wichita State from 2013-2017! It was only right to hate them because they were the rivals but I respected their squad!
Fred Van-Vleet is averaging 16 & 8 with the Rockets that's far from being washed
more just being mid he needs to kick it up a gear
He bricked that 3 vs Kentucky to lose the game.
We talking about pro. College basketball is irrelevant
@@bigdogyard the most important shot he ever took--- he bricked.
@@bnegs521 you do realize he hit big shots in the NBA finals. He is a NBA champion that supersedes anything he did in college
“La Sally”
That’s how you know this mf knows some serious ball lol
😂😂😂
Pretty crazy for a MVC team to have 3 NBA players at once
I always loved their name Shockers. The mascot looks neat and I just had to look up and learn the back story about it years ago when they were playing so well.
They left the MVC and they fired Greg Marshall. The Marshall firing is the main reason they’ve fallen off, it’s pretty plain and simple to understand when a college program loses its leader/architect, they’re going to change…
Would love to see one of these on the rise and fall of SLU Basketball
That 2013 Final Four run is what turned me into a college basketball fan as a kid. Such a fun team to watch during their peak years
Shocker Fan and Season Ticket Holder here: Hopefully we can get back on top. Coach Mills could help this city out a lot!!
Sometimes a coach just has the correct formula to win in a place - whether it be Marshall at Wichita, Chaney at Temple, Sampson at Houston, Stevens at Butler, Carlesimo at Seton Hall, etc. They succeed wildly in a place where no one else has been able to match their results.
Paul Mills will get them back on track. They have decent players and Mills could help them with recruiting
Lets fucking hope😭😭🤞🤞
Wichita State did have it going on for quite awhile but don’t feel bad no program in any sport has fallen more then UNLV basketball.
Ginger in the most educated casual I’ve ever seen
That would make him not a casual
@@drhouse6165 no no, it makes him exactly what I said
that is a perfect description of him
he definitely knows a bit but don’t think he doesn’t do research for these videos lol it’s not all off the top of his head
He’s just reading their Wikipedia page 😂

I never knew van fleet was on this team back then 🤯 now he’s in the nba wow
as someone who use to go to WSU games Thank You for the Video
thanks from Wichita
the MVC sends multiple teams to the tourney every year man
They’ve crashed hard like VCU
Bro what? Vcu was just 27-7 last year and made the tourney. Vcu is also like 18-8 this year. Wichita is 10-16
How is vanvleet washed
What website did u use
wikipedia

Cool mascot.
Can you do the rise and fall of Iowa wrestling?
Was a big fan of Gregg Marshall when he was at Winthrop

Three days since i watched this vid and i can't get that out of my head.
OK Kylie 😏
They Used to Have Football Too.

did you watch the video?

one of his better videos
I liked their logo
It’s almost your time to shine

Do a rise and fall of WCW pro wrestling
They should have went all in for coach Cal
They beat Arizona in 2016, not Arkansas.
So when teams like Louisville get their championship vacated, was the entire tournament that year a waist of time and money? Did the runner-up claim it that year, or is there not one?
“La Sally” lol
fred vanvleet has dropped off a bit in terms of production, but he is far from "washed" as an nba player
They should have stayed in the MVC
So they're like the Boise State of college basketball?
No because Noise State has only had one or two "down" seasons where they still made the post season lol
That's Gonzaga!
Do the fall of the hoosiers! as a fan we are embarrassing we used to be the team people feared in march 😢

Do George Mason
This guy always shows his ignorance. We are talking about a dude who does ball field rating videos based upon what he sees on tv.
calling la salle "la'sally" is crazy
College basketball was better when they was good I remember Fred in college
Ginger with another FUMBLE 😂🤦🏽♂️
Two in the pink, one in the stink
Averaging 17-6-4 for five straight seasons is “basically washed” for an NBA player? 😭
FVV was an All Star two years ago and isn’t even 30 yet.
Great video though
MVC is one of the best MM leagues in college basketball you clearly don’t know ball
That UK team should not have been an 8 seed.
Saying Fred is washed is crazy, like how lmao do you watch?
Same happened to butler
No not really. Just Brad stevens left
far from this opera forevermore
AAC desperately needs them to be good also.
That was a fraud undefeated season, that was the first year in MVC with no Creighton
Greggggg Marshall was classless. And so was his wife.
