Wichita State has seven games remaining in its American Athletic Conference basketball schedule. Most teams do, although those seven-game stretches are widely dissimilar.
That works to the advantage of the Shockers.
SMU, for example, plays six opponents in the top 100 of Ken Pomeroy's rankings, four on the road. USF, after coming off a five-game stretch in which it played one top 100 team, plays its next four against teams in the top 75.
Wichita State doesn't face an easy schedule over the next four weeks. It as manageable as any in the American, featuring five games against teams trailing it in the conference standings.
