I think WSU would collapse from the pressure of playing against KU. Thankfully, I think WSU is going to get a 1 seed and not have to worry about playing the Hawks. It's much more likely that they face us in the tournament.
I disagree with the bolded statement wholeheartedly... This is almost the EXACT same team that played their way to the Final Four last year and damn near made it to the champy game. They've played far bigger games against much better teams, albeit last spring.
Sure, they'd fold in the piss barn with Higgins making phantom calls. However, in a neutral venue with fair refereeing, Shox would win going away.
