Wichita State plays today in the first round in Las Vegas Holiday Classic, earlier Kansas State plays USC.
If both K-State and Wichita win or if they both lose, they will meet on Saturday....

"...Rep. Jason Watkins of Wichita had in mind when he introduced a bill earlier this year in the Kansas Legislature that would require Kansas, Kansas State and Wichita State to play each other in basketball on a yearly basis"
Then-- one of the Kansas State players (K-State is also playing in this tourney and a possible KSU-WSU matchup could happen)
K-State junior forward David Hoskins said (about Wichita State)
"They???¬??re another Kansas team that gets a lot of publicity. We want to play the best and beat the best.???¬??
-----almost as if Bill Self's Kansas isn't even in the picture.
And--finally--
"K-State coach Bob Huggins, asked whether he would like to schedule the Shockers in the future, wasn???¬??t exactly gushing about the possibility.
???¬?Man, I???¬??m just trying to get through the year,???¬?? he said. ???¬?When you see our schedule (next season), you won???¬??t be disappointed.???¬??
So Huggy really doesn't want any part of Wichita State, or probably any other MVC team either.
If you want a real laugh, look at their non-conference oponents, you'd think they'd want the help with their RPI that playing a Valley team could give:
Williams and Mary, Rutgers, Tennessee Tech, New Mexico, Coppin State, Cal, Colorado State, Cleveland State, North Dakota State, Kennesaw State, Maryland Eastern Shore,...
