WSU players view the AAC coaches’ poll as “more fuel to the fire”

Wichita State and all of its turnover has made it difficult for every prognosticator to peg where the Shockers may finish this men’s basketball season in the American Athletic Conference.

Some see a team that returns just 11 percent of its minutes. Others give the Shockers the benefit of the doubt because Gregg Marshall has led the program to seven straight NCAA Tournaments and nine straight 25-win seasons.

On Monday morning at the AAC Media Day in Philadelphia, the league’s coaches gave their view of the Shockers by picking them to finish eighth in the 12-team conference.
