The 2014-15 Wichita State basketball team hosted ESPN’s College GameDay, won the MVC title and advanced to the Sweet 16 with wins over Indiana and Kansas. Mike Kennedy and Bob Hull join the podcast to reminisce 10 years later. We discuss a rout of Memphis that set the tone for the early schedule, a dramatic win over Hawaii and a close loss at Utah. We also talk about the rivalry with Northern Iowa, contributions of freshmen Zach Brown and Rashard Kelly and how coach Gregg Marshall and a crew of top-notch assistant coaches led this era. We describe the Evan Wessel game in Omaha, the Zach Brown hustle play and how the feelings between KU and Wichita State differed from the 1981 NCAA meeting.
