Murray State Racers men's basketball

But, uh, he was n- in that lawsuit.

Then you get some mid-major guys as well, Billy Smith, Chattanooga, Donovan Ode, McNeese State, Justin Allen, Green Bay, Fred King, Murray State, uh, and then Albert Vargas-Frito from Robert Morris.

But yeah, you know, especially the power conference guys in that list, those are some big impact players.

Seth Trimble was probably gonna be L- uh, you know, Louisville's go-to guy this year just because he's been committed there now for a couple months.

Wow, William Berg has the ability to shoot the three for real.

He really has it." Those are some things that you very well could see for tonight in this charity scrimmage against the Murray State Racers.

We'll get to Dave Valeski here in a little bit.

Jack, I, I th- I know you have the Paul Mills audio queued up.

Who is the most recent Shocker to join that list? Is it A, Jamar Howard, who played from two thousand and one to '０五, B, Paul Miller, who played from '０一 to '０六, or C, Ron Baker, who played from two thousand and twelve to sixteen? Stick around to the end and we will unravel this trivia question for you.

On Wednesday, Wichita State's men's basketball team plays Murray State, six thirty PM in a charity scrimmage at Koch Arena.

Tickets are twenty dollars.

Proceeds will be split between the Wichita Children's Home and Cheese Johnson's You Jump mentoring program.

A couple of the other things I know you're working on already are the opportunity to chat with Jack Smiley, who was such an influential piece for this team last year coming off the bench, had some incredible games.

That game at Murray State was awesome.

What did you learn about Jack going in depth with him that maybe you didn't know just watching him as a freshman basketball player last year?

Yeah, he's got such a confidence and such an edge to him.

That's just how much the resources have changed in that little period of time.

The good news for them is in that league, if you finish in the top 10, you're going to be under consideration, at least in the bubble for the NCAA tournament, which gives them a different sort of opportunity.

How about in the Missouri Valley, Joey, when we look at it right now? Murray State went out and spent.

They've got a roster that at least this summer competed with some national teams on their foreign tour.

Before Shocker Madness, you can check out the Brew Market at Corbin Education Center and the Shocktoberfest Parade.

On October seventh, Wichita State men's basketball plays Murray State, six thirty PM in Charles Coke Arena in a charity scrimmage.

Tickets are twenty dollars.

For all the general admission seats, proceeds will be split between the Wichita Children's Home and Cheese Johnson's U-Jump.

But man, if they hit that, the peak that we expect them to be at, oh my goodness gracious.

We are going to see one of the best mid-major basketball teams since 2011, 12 Murray state.

I completely agree with you there, Isaac.

Isaac, I had to mute my mic with the whack is whack comment because I was dying.

F.A. Dermiel, it's another big 7'1 center over there for Grand Canyon.

Grand Canyon is unbelievable.

They're going to have such a great year, and I agree once again that they can be one of the best mid-major teams that we've seen since that Murray State team in 2011-2012.

Super exciting things coming out of the big canyon over there.

And then the last thing I'll mention before handing it off to you is, uh, those two Missouri Valley squads tangling back-to-back in the rankings, 85th, 86th.

Murray State is loaded with especially international talent.

What they spent on some of those pieces coming over from, from Europe i-is really impressive, and they got some continuity as well.

And then UIC, more of an internal develop because they brought so many pieces back from last season.

So we've always tried to find different ways for teams to compete.

Well, you look at Murray State and what they've been able to do on the recruiting trail.

They've got some really good players on that roster.

And the cool part about it is, is.

And then going 24 hours around, I'm going to be a part of those games.

I'm going to call the games that are in South Dakota.

But, you know, whether it be Tennessee State and Nolan Smith and the talent he's improved, Ryan Miller at Murray State, they actually play each other.

There's going to be a lot of really intriguing basketball, not just at the high major level, but a lot of talent at the mid-major level, too.
