No one should be surprised at Wichita State

No one should have been surprised that Wichita State has won two games in the Tournament, nor even if they win several more. Fred VanVleet is their point guard - one of the best (if not the best) in the country. He and Ron Baker just might be the best guard combo in the nation. VanVleet personifies toughness. When he was injured and missed four games earlier in the season, it completely threw the team off their game, as might have been expected. They came into the tournament 24-8 out of the tough Missouri Valley Conference, so it is not like they had not had a pretty good season, anyway. And Gregg Marshall is widely recognized as one of the best coaches in the game. Plus this team had an undefeated regular season and a Final Four appearance to their credit within the careers of Baker and VanVleet. So why should anyone have been surprised that at this point in their careers, the Shockers are NOT a team that anyone wants to play?
