HUTCHINSON, Kan.: (Transcript from KWBW Sports) For BW Radio Sports, I'm Nick Gosnell.
The Wichita State Shocker Women open up a play on Friday night at the Roundhouse. It's a 6 p.m. tip against Cincinnati. They come into conference play at 10 and 3. On the women's side according to go shockers dot com. The shocker women hold teams to a 36.1% shooting percentage third in the AFC, their second in rebound margin at plus 9.6 and lead the conference by grabbing 75.2% of available defensive rebounds. The Shockers commit 12 or fewer turnovers. They did so in their last three games. They won two of those easily, including their record setting win over South Carolina State 105 to 38. The top eight team coming in on the women's side is considered the bulls from South Florida. They're number 35 in the net rankings and on wins over Alabama, Texas and Arkansas. Wichita State is number 111.
And the Kansas City Chiefs have already clinched the AFC West for the seventh straight year and are tied with Buffalo for the best record in the conference. Then there's the Denver Broncos, their opponent on Sunday. They mortgaged their future to acquire struggling Russell Wilson from Seattle and just fired coach Nathaniel Hackett. With two games left in his first season. 67 year old Jerry Rosberg will guide the Broncos through the next couple of weeks.
Kansas City has beaten the Broncos 14 straight times. Of course, every game is huge for Kansas City as the Chiefs are tied with the bills for the AFC's best record. But Buffalo would get the number one seed in the lone first round bye because of its head to head win in October in Kansas City.
So not only the Chiefs need to beat Denver and probably Las Vegas next week, they need the Bengals or Patriots to beat the Bills down the stretch.
The Chiefs expect to have Michael Hardman back after his abdominal injury in week nine. He should be playing on Sunday.
Coverage begins at noon here on KWBW Hutchinson.
