I wish we would have made it to the A-Sun finals. We could have beat Mercer. Too many late turnovers in the semis cost us.

They went to the Final Four last year. They didn't just come out of nowhere.

Haters gonna hate.

We are about 2-3 years from Dancing, tired of seeing Wofford in the Dance when they refuse to schedule us.

Being a Wofford Grad, I always wondered about this issue. There apparently is a deep-seeded issue between the two teams. I know some Upstate players from the early 90s and they seem to think it was on the Wofford side. It would be a great rivalry.

I live in Spartanburg and have often wondered why they never play. I know one of the assistant coaches at Wofford . I will try and get in touch with him and see if he has any insight as to why they do not play.

It would be great for the area though.

Don't know anything about that board, so take it for what it's worth.

No it was Saint Louis.

I think SOS is missing that none of the power conferences in the Midwest want to play Wichita st.

It's not really that as much as it is that Wichita State doesn't want to have to make 2-for-1 and other less than favorable deals in order to get power conference opponents. With the success they've had over the last 3-4 years, they feel like they are above having to cater to those schools. There was a pretty good article about it a couple of weeks ago. Think it was on cbssports.com site.
