I wish there was an option for mods to not allow some people to start threads.
they're a fun team to watch.they really are. baker (friend of gE) is a treat and their bigs are very good too.
I think too many Emaws have some deep-seated insecurities when it comes to Wichita State.
Why can't some of you give them their due?
They'll never be a threat to us, or even play us in the near future.
Be happy for them, it's the only bright spot in the most underachieving town in the Midwest.
i'll never forgive frank for not getting baker
every shocker student i've ever met is actually a squawk fan. they don't give a crap about wsu. that said, i think wsu basketball plays hard and is a great team that deserves better than the shitty students that pretend to like them. also, commuter school
Who was responsible for not getting Vanvleet?
That is one scrappy pg. He has shades of Clemente. :love: :love:

oscar recruited Orris over VanVleet at Illinois. VanVleet was more highly regarded nationally and locally. It wasn't just Gray. Very bizarre oscar fixation on a kid he ran off after one season.
I think too many Emaws have some deep-seated insecurities when it comes to Wichita State.Agreed here. They are in the MVC, why wish any worse on them? TSC.

I like Bookie Pimp. :dunno:
I do enjoy WSU and their "below the rim" style of basketball. Makes it easier for me to relate to when watching their games. There is really nothing as exiting as watching a perfectly executed lay-up. Its a nice complement to old timey basketball before they were allowed to dunk.they dunked it a lot when i watched them the other night.
Would take greg marshall, would definitely take.

the most maniacal, paranoid, whiny, least media savvy coach in college basketball.

Holy hell naw. I get on Patterson quite a bit for being a big fish in a small pond, but Marshall makes Patterson seem like Steve Spurrier. Marshall is absolutely the most maniacal, paranoid, whiny, least media savvy coach in college basketball; it isn't even close. He has one of the most friendly media markets and insular fan base in America yet he is constantly feuding with someone about something insignificant. His assistant coaches don't love him and he doesn't have the best reputation nationally. This was publicly bantered about through the media after his final four run and during the post season hiring spree. I have a WSU insider who has pretty much confirmed all the rumors about his behavior.
He's a great basketball coach but the bright lights, if they ever come, will be an issue for him
The ugliest fan base to ever attend a game at Sprint center, bar none.
yes, it was funny to hear his redassery come out in virtually every national interview he did during the F4 run.Would take greg marshall, would definitely take.

Wait, are you seriously saying you wouldn't take Marshall over oscar Weber given the choice?
Greg Marshall is very good. Very good.

It's kinda sad that Ron Baker is better than Will Spradling.

Also catching up on podcasts and heard Marshall say, prior to the game vs. UT in Wichita, that it'd be IBA's first sellout.i was pretty sure WVU @ IBA was a sellout...
Does he have a radio show? I might have to start doing #gregg coverage.

I think this would be great from a fan's perspective, as long as both teams continue to be competitive. Sorry if luked.
For me, playing in Kansas City (against Wichita State) is my first inclination,” Weber said. “That’s what we were talking about last spring. It seats a lot of people and we drew 16,000 or 17,000 for our game against Florida there last season. So if you had Wichita State there, it definitely would become a demanded ticket.
“Again, it’s just got to make sense. Schedule-wise and season-wise. I understand something like that would be good for basketball, but you just have to be smart about it.”

Sure, it would be great, but the 10,500 WSU fans in the world will inspire their coach and AD to insure there is not the slightest perception that WSU is being treated poorly. Which will mean it will be very difficult to put a series together. They're pretty much basketball royalty now.
oscar just needs to schedule a game in KC every year.
They should make a triangle shaped basketball court and make Wichita state, k-state and KthUg play against each other all at the same time. The game should be played at the basketball casino in dodge city. The winner stays in garden, the runner up in dodge and the loser in that town in between.
oscar just needs to schedule a game in KC every year. Wichita State would be ok, but it would rank behind Florida and UNLV in terms of excitement for me as a fan

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.

This is pretty asinine. It would also be pretty asinine to argue the inverse - that KU would win going away. Two really good teams.
WSU would put a whole lot of pressure on themselves by making the game bigger than it is. I think they would have a better shot at beating any other team in America than they would KU.

They would do the exact same thing we do every game vs them except they would have an even worse case of small dick syndrome.

if WSU goes undefeated on the season what seed are they in the tournement? like a 4?

I didn't even know they were undefeated until I read this thread. I doubt anyone on the "committee" knows anything about them either. 4 seems like the ceiling to me. I don't know.
This is the 2nd story the newspaper has run on how to watch shocker games. In wichita, mind you.
http://www.kansas.com/2014/01/27/3252780/an-update-on-where-you-can-watch.html
According to my former friend who lives in Wichita, Magoos Bar & Grill has a wagon that drives around town and Shocker fans can just jump on and they can all ride together to Magoos to catch the game.Why the falling out?

Isn't there like 3 million people in the KC area? Those upper deck tickets were $20 & and under. Also don't act like that was the only game that did poorly because it wasn't. KC has been better the last couple of games but lol at scheduling a game every year.

He said something once about the Jayhawks that wasn't abject praise. It wasn't really negative, but it just wasn't very positive, either.

Regardless of where one lives, most good people would rather watch a football game that helps decide conference championship than a non-con vs some shithole IUPUI hoops game.
Another thing to think about regarding any potential NCAA tourny invite the Shockers receive is that the NCAA would have a hard time finding a network to broadcast their game because nobody would watch it so that has to factor into their seeding.

Yes, it's a quality win. But they're just beating up on bad teams in conference play. Half the MVC is below .500 overall.
Pretty indifferent about the actual basketball aspect, but nothing will stop me mocking wichita shockermania.
undefeated is undefeated. st joe's got the 1 seed when they went 27-0 and so should wsu.
The thing that kept popping up in my head last night is how far do they fall with just one loss? I think that is the tell for how respectable their season actually is. I think they might drop into the upper teens if not twenties at that point.

True, but growing up in Kansas and in the Wichita Metro area has always given me a desire to cheer on the Shockers. But at the same time I find it intriguing the difference in importance between number crunching (all that kenpom stuff) and that hallowed 0 to the right of the hyphen.

That St Joes team had two 1st round picks and the A10 was a 4 bid league that year. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison just because they are from mid major conferences.
And fwiw, they were blown out by 20 in their conf tourney game and still got a 1. If WSU gets blown out by 20 in the MVC tourney they would drop to a 3.

So an undefeated team coming off of a final four should be no higher than a three seed? Makes sense, if you're a complete dumbass.

Definitely we should include last year's record in seeding. McGruder gets KSU a 6 seed methinks. Also, Kentucky's loss to Bobby Morris should knock them out of the tourney yes no?

See EMAWers this is what jealousy looks like, don't be this guy.
They returned their entire team from a final four squad you simp. This proves that they are capable of playing to seed despite their conference. I bet you've uttered the phrase "Bill Self should be picked to win the Big 12 until he loses it." Mouth breathing hypocrite.
Also any K-State out KU fan that criticizes their schedule should always add, "but their schedule would be better if my coach wasn't such a coward." At least Weber isn't a mealy mouthed liar, he has admitted to being scared.

Definitely we should include last year's record in seeding. McGruder gets KSU a 6 seed methinks. Also, Kentucky's loss to Bobby Morris should knock them out of the tourney yes no?
They returned their entire team from a final four squad you simp.
undefeated is undefeated. st joe's got the 1 seed when they went 27-0 and so should wsu.
That St Joes team had two 1st round picks and the A10 was a 4 bid league that year. Not exactly an apples to apples comparison just because they are from mid major conferences.
And fwiw, they were blown out by 20 in their conf tourney game and still got a 1. If WSU gets blown out by 20 in the MVC tourney they would drop to a 3.
They should be a 3 seed even if they go undefeated.

Wow. U are totes jelly of Wichita st. Why does the success of other state universities bother you so much? Very losery IMO.
My stance on Wichita State.
a) they deserve any recognition and praise they get this year and last. They are good and they win a lot.
b) I absolutely can't stand them and hope they lose every game. I would certainly cheer for ku if they played.

Not when evaluating a mid major that is undefeated in a "crappy conference" and finished off the previous year in the final four. You evaluate that team differently.
Talking about WSU is brilliant bait for KU butthurt. :love:

If VCU went undefeated after their run vs you and the country the next year, do you think they would have deserved a #1 seed?Not when evaluating a mid major that is undefeated in a "crappy conference" and finished off the previous year in the final four. You evaluate that team differently.
I don't know. Maybe you do, maybe the universal "you" does, but the only "you" that is germane to the discussion is the yous on the selection committee. I tend to think that they have come to rely on standards that are measurable and repeatable, as a CYA protocol. I could be wrong, but then again I've already been wrong once today, so statistically speaking it would be incredibly unlikely that I'm wrong again.

They're still very good. Will they deserve a 1 seed if they go undefeated? Probably. Will they be a top 4 team in the country. Probably not. Will they make it to back to back F4s? Probably not.

And this is the problem for the reasonable WSU fan, I would think. The value of their team, to the greater public, must needs be evaluated by their success in the tournament, and the tournament is such a crapshoot.
What is Memphis arguing? And who is he arguing with? What is going on in here?
Who's arguing? :dunno: . Just making some observations bout the shockers.

Your observation about the tournament is simplistic. You have to have a very good, very tough team to make the final four. Mediocre teams don't win 4 games in a row on neutral courts against the best teams in the country. If you make the final four it absolutely means you are one of the best teams in the country, it isn't some dice roll.
I think you just stumbled upon the fact that there are many good and capable teams. Tournament is single elimination because it's fun not to find the "best" team.
Now I'm arguing :D

I think the depth of their success this regular season supersedes this. If they went like 30-4 then I think this would be the case but they are going to finish with one of the most successful regular seasons in college basketball history, they just need to make it to the second week of the tournament to validate their success and that's no different than any other 1-4 seed.
Also sprance your view of WSU as it relates to their tournament success and how they are viewed nationally is exactly what everyone else thinks of KU. Not picking on you or calling you butthurt, just pointing out an irony.

Something to be proud of? Sure. Something that will be remembered in their conference for a long time? Absolutely. Would it be viewed as a greater accomplishment if Syracuse did the same? You bet. WSU has put together a nice two-year run here, but to the broader audience, it won't have much staying power unless they make a special run this year. I almost feel bad for them, because they have reached the zenith of their success, and if they don't cash in, who knows how long it will be until they get another shot? They've set themselves up with the crushing weight of expectations, and if they flame out early, certain less-scrupulous neighbors will tease them relentlessly. I won't, because I know that's the price of competing at the highest level.

I have nothing against the team, and they are fun to watch, but GGreggg Marshall is such a rough ridin' crybaby, small-dick syndrome pud loser that I hope they have an epic crash and burn that results in loser Shocker fans #watchus slit our wrists.
So I do this bit anytime a Shocker fan mentions that they're undefeated. I just act like I'm hearing it for the first time and am shocked that I didn't already know that, considering how much hoops I watch. I think 1 guy figured out my ruse like a week later and posted an angry, drunken rant on my FB page about how Ggregg was a better coach than Self, how they have better players than KU, and how they have better fans, too.

Although it probably won't happen, I'd love to see WSU and ku end up meeting up fairly early. I'm not sure the interwebs could handle the level of ku butthurt that would come out of a WSU loss...
After the game ended, Nick would give Andy a hug, wipe his tears and say "Sorry, Lil Bro..." and we (awesome good people K-Stater's) would console our TSC bros in much the same way: "Sorry, lil bro... sorry".

Why does anyone think Wichita State is really good? I think Duke, KU, Syracuse, Kentucky, Arizona, Florida, SDSU, and probably a few more would beat them by a sizeable margin.

that's because you're dumb, no big deal though. SDSU got their asses kicked by Wyoming, they were 103 in the RPI at the time of tip-off. 103 is 50 places worse than Indiana State.
Ask 10 different people to define the typical Wichita State experience and chances are you'll get 10 different answers. That's because there really is no "typical" Wichita State experience. WSU students have always had the luxury of creating their college life, exactly the way they want it.

SDSU?
They lost a game in November and another one a couple weeks ago. The most compelling thing about discussing WSU is that they are undefeated. Its a great discussion point that a lot of people are paying attention to right now. Every game they play now is discussed. It makes sense that Gottlieb would make a point to discuss it, its what he does. The record they might have in some other conference might be a side track, but its still something a lot people are going to discuss, especially on twitter.
Besides, SDSU beat KU in Lawrence. They also beat Creighton. So they have 2 wins much, much better than any WSU has so far.
However, WSU deserves a 1 seed IMO.
He picked the WSU discussion because they are undefeated and play in a bad conference. I assume he picked the Big 12 because he played at a Big 12 school. Also because the league is really good.

Yeah Florida, the defacto #1 team in the country is in a bad conference too, he isn't making the same case against Florida because his argument and anyone who makes the same isn't making a case against WSU, they are making a case against The Valley and that's dumb. Why is it so hard to say, "I have no idea how good WSU is but they have won all of their games and haven't done anything horrible like losing at home to Boston College or losing to Wyoming so lets make them a 1 seed and see how it goes." Making an absolute value judgment about them based on their schedule is simple, I know he's smart enough to understand this, so I'm guessing he doing his annual trolling/attention whoring like he has done in the past to Syracuse and Missouri.

Its a really simple and hackneyed talking point, guess I expected him to take up a cause more nuanced and unexplored like how may Florida be helped by playing in a garbage conference.

Why?
Most college fans care about how good Wichita State is right now. The undefeated thing in the regular season is a big deal. The discussion of "would Florida go undefeated in the MVC" simply isn't interesting for most people. Plus Florida still has 7 wins over Top 50 teams.

I think you are reading something different than what I'm saying re Florida.
My larger point isn't that we shouldn't be discussing whether or not we should be discussing how good Wichita State is. Speculating whether or not they would lose in Ames does not advance that discussion, nor would it for any other team in America. The discussion about every other team and their worthiness is revolves around who they put on the floor. Is it too much to ask that one of the preeminent voices in the sport move the conversation beyond what we would hear on Mike and Mike or some random local hacky sports talk show in Cleveland?

It's just sports so I think discussing whatever you want is fine. I could be wrong though because I have no clue what you guys are talking about.
Its a really simple and hackneyed talking point, guess I expected him to take up a cause more nuanced and unexplored like how may Florida be helped by playing in a garbage conference.
Why?
Most college fans care about how good Wichita State is right now. The undefeated thing in the regular season is a big deal. The discussion of "would Florida go undefeated in the MVC" simply isn't interesting for most people. Plus Florida still has 7 wins over Top 50 teams.
I think you are reading something different than what I'm saying re Florida.
My larger point isn't that we shouldn't be discussing whether or not we should be discussing how good Wichita State is. Speculating whether or not they would lose in Ames does not advance that discussion, nor would it for any other team in America. The discussion about every other team and their worthiness is revolves around who they put on the floor. Is it too much to ask that one of the preeminent voices in the sport move the conversation beyond what we would hear on Mike and Mike or some random local hacky sports talk show in Cleveland?
I think it's more weird how MIR is getting all Beems Gridiron Club butthurt about a Shocker team that has nothing to do with the Cats...maybe the bandwagon didn't want to stop to pick him up in his neighborhood?

Why the woohoo? Do you want them to keep winning so they could potentially be the first 1 seed to lose to a 16, because I do

And there you have the overratedness of one Doug Gotleib. I think he was great when he was coming up in the ranks but I think he's starting to take his game to the middle aged level where Colin Cowherd resides.
His show is becoming a lil dry to me when I hear it now.
Great analysis MIR..

I don't know what it is but he has annoyed me quite a bit since he went to CBS Sports, especially on Twitter, it just seems to be a giant troll job.
i could be wrong but i don't think most people look at the strength of schedule thing in a way that i think is most important. at this point in the season, the biggest issue w/ SoS is the cumulative effect (or lack thereof) that playing shitty teams all season has on a team, not the singular event of playing a shitty team on a random tuesday night. the opposite is true of those teams playing in tougher conferences. i know it's obvious but i'm not sure people really consider it a whole lot when having these discussions.

i have no idea what he was trying to say. apparently, Syracuse is the only team that benefits from home court advantage. so eff them and everyone who thinks they are the #1 team. meanwhile, wsu plays Bishop Carroll this week.
28-0. Only undefeated team in the country.

Seems like there are examples on both sides of that - #2 Missouri losing in the 2nd round and of course KU losing in the 2nd or 3rd round after playing in the Big 12.
The biggest difference b/t WSU's schedule last year and this year, is not playing Creighton 3x. Three games against Creighton, who lost their 2nd NCAA game, will make all of the difference?
Florida Gulf Coast last year smoking #2 Georgetown after playing in the Atlantic Sun.

past tourney performance should have no bearing on current tourney seeding. what you earn/do in this season should be the only thing evaluated.

Of course. I was responding to the thought that the cumulative effect of playing weak teams in the regular season doesn't prepare a team for the NCAA tournament. There are facts on both sides of that, so I am not sure you can draw a firm conclusion.

BPI has the shockers at #7 which IMO is closer to reality. They are a solid team with veteran and experienced players who haven't let a game slip against second rate competition. They haven't played enough tournament teams though to give them the clout needed for a 1 seed in my book. The committee shouldn't award them for playing a soft schedule and not losing, precisely the opposite: no 1 seed for super weak scheduling teams from horrible conferences regardless of record (set a precedent). Marshall needs to get off his high horse and play some road games at major schools if he wants to avoid this in the future.
Wichita State is the best team in the state this year and it's really not even close.
They have the better of the two Wiggins bros, Baker is a better shooter than anybody on our or ku's roster, Early is probably the best player to step foot in Kansas since Beasley and VanVleet is a very solid point guard...
Even though it'll be a rough year for the boys in purple, I'm glad to see baby bro having some success even if it rips the hearts out of lil bro to play second fiddle to an MVC team.
WSU vs ku in the tournament would be hilarious. :crossfingers: :pray:

Course they could do more, but they did play Tennessee, @ ALA, and @ SLU (a tourny team and 25-2), yes, the MVC isn't lights out but that noncon is at least something. They also got wins over a 2nd place BYU team and the first place team in the Southern in Davidson. Top flight noncon? No. Weak? Not too much, it is #34 noncon SOS according to ESPN. Other than playing one or two top RPI top 50 noncon I don't know what really more they could do. For reference K-State's non conference SOS is 148.
I consider myself a casual fan of WSU but the majority of their fanbase has a horrible case of little man syndrome. Like makes KU fans seem super relaxed and confident and lacking a need for validation. It would almost be worth it to add them as a basketball only member just for the BBSing gold that would ensue.

What about Shockats?
What is the history of every other team that was undefeated in the regular season? Did they all go on to be National Champs? Could end up being a big black mark for WSU if they are the first to go undefeated and then not become National Champs.
Undefeated in regular season :Woohoo:

If I see one more K-State student wearing WSU apparel on campus....Hey they're from
I sat next to a kid in a class at K-State once. Like, sat next to him everyday we had class for an entire semester, which was twice a week. He had a huge powercat with purple flaes tattoo'ed on his forearm. I told myself, the second I saw it and every single day that I had class with him and saw it again, that no matter how huge of a K-State fan I turned into I would never get something like that tattoo'ed on myself. Which is all fine and dandy for your average goEMAW'r, but for the go'EMAW'r who already has nine tattoos, that was a pretty big statement to make to myself. Anyways, all that to say that tattoos of your favorite sports teams are stupid and that guy will probably regret that tat at some point.I don't think I could come up with 9 things to tattoo that are not KSU cats related. As someone that is generally anti tat, I think a KSU related tat is one of the only things I would not regret.
Fred Wuthrich, a salesman at Scott Rice Office Interiors, has loved the 31 games (32 since we chatted) left with nothing but good feelings.
And for Wichita, it’s great, he says.
“I think it put us on the map, it gives us some good press around the country,” Wuthrich says. “I think it’s real positive for the local kids, they don’t have to be embarrassed about going to WSU anymore. There’s increased enrollment. My son, my wife, myself — we’ve all been students at WSU and there’s a lot of pride in your school as a result.”

Also wtf was that a week face paint attempt or is his skin messed up.
It looks like he got some washable crayola markers and just started coloring in his face.
I like that he's flanked by sweat pants and jersey/camo.
34-0 (and MVC regular season and tourney champs, for what they're worth). Will the many days off before the NCAA starts hurt or help them? I think the lull may hurt.
At this point WSU is a lock for a #1 seed. If 34-0 doesn't get you a #1 seed, what does? The whole system breaks down if mid-majors think there's no way to get a #1 seed.34-0 (and MVC regular season and tourney champs, for what they're worth). Will the many days off before the NCAA starts hurt or help them? I think the lull may hurt.
The commitee is so "what have you done lately?" that I think an impressive performance from a current NCAA two seed in their conference tournament could still see WSU slip. That being said, there is still that overwhelming shoulder shrug when you compare SOS to the fact they are undefeated. I don't think they get the number one over all for sure, but I am willing to bet the farm they stay a 1 seed.
they would have gotten a 1 seed even if they lost yesterday
they would have gotten a 1 seed even if they lost yesterday
Don't agree.
they would have gotten a 1 seed even if they lost yesterday
they would have gotten a 1 seed even if they lost yesterday
Don't agree.
Any rationale, or are we back to their schedule sucks? They are a part of a group of three that are clear #1s, even before yesterday. The fact that there's still 4 teams fighting for that last 1 seed is evidence enough. Also St. Joseph's.
they would have gotten a 1 seed even if they lost yesterday
But they didn't.
:Woohoo:

WSU deserves and will get a #1. Just wondering what effect, if any, the several days off without a game will have when they get back in a game.
In Wichita, Lutz estimates, “It’s 60 percent Wichita State fans, 15 percent Kansas fans, 15 percent K-State fans, and 10 percent everybody else.”
QuoteIn Wichita, Lutz estimates, “It’s 60 percent Wichita State fans, 15 percent Kansas fans, 15 percent K-State fans, and 10 percent everybody else.”
everybody else = bellator?
When I started reading that I thought the sum would add up to over 100%, but then the quote was over and Lutz actually did make one of the dumbest comments I have ever seen on the subject.QuoteIn Wichita, Lutz estimates, “It’s 60 percent Wichita State fans, 15 percent Kansas fans, 15 percent K-State fans, and 10 percent everybody else.”

Gottlieb vs Shocker nation (including all the bandwagon K-State/KU fans) is very fun.
If we played Wichita st in the tourney I would root for themYou're a loser tho.
What if the Shockers go 35-1 this year?:bball:
35-0 against the rest of the college basketball world and 0-1 vs the wild, wild cats?

Yeah, my mother's cutesy/ great view of the fountains apartment, thousands and thousands, and thousands of dollars per month 'high end' retirement community was 'without water' for an afternoon or a day, or no hot water. But that was up to their children to find out. But that didn't merit Eagle and exile attention. They are old people and rich, so what. THEY PROBABLY SHOWER TOO MUCH ANYWAY? If the now famous, Nationally Famous Shox, are without water, now THAT IS NEWS! look up the words diffidence and sardonic. then synthesize a new emotion. somewhere in those ballparks. whatever. all my tap water before drank by me, gets a Scandanavian filter job, charcoal type, first. so much water, but nothing to drink? not really Kansas, I agree. right.

it is amazing how lovable this team is
Wichita State is the best team in the state this year and it's really not even close.
They have the better of the two Wiggins bros, Baker is a better shooter than anybody on our or ku's roster, Early is probably the best player to step foot in Kansas since Beasley and VanVleet is a very solid point guard...
Even though it'll be a rough year for the boys in purple, I'm glad to see baby bro having some success even if it rips the hearts out of lil bro to play second fiddle to an MVC team.
One of the best parts of "TSC" is the leeway that the "S" creates in matters like this.
that was a charge and a flagrantyes, not a basketball play
I was indifferent going into this game but the longer it went the harder I rooted for WSU, I couldn't sit down at the end.

1.24 ppp for WSU. It's been a long time since I've seen two really good teams trading blows like that. Kentucky showed how good they can be. I think you're right about Baylor getting ready to do the same.
There were just studs galore out there on that court today.

Tully made a good point on Twitter today. I'd be embarrassed if my team lost as a 1 seed to an 8 seed and everyone was like "oh no, they really were good! This isn't you're average 8 seed!" Give me a break, they were still an 8 seed. Your goal was to win the NC, and you couldn't win 2 games on your way there. Everyone sticking up for them is like going easy on the physically inferior kid on the basketball court. Everytime a 1,2 or 3 seed lost, everybody nation wide makes fun of them for it. But not poor lowly WuShock.The better team won.
Anyways, that doesn't mean it wasn't the most fun game I've watched this tournament. I'm with MIR, I was standing up the last minute of it.
The "screwed by the refs" meltdown is going to go nuclear for them.The main rason I hate refs is because they pull up their pants so high it's camel toe city.

I think the only people thinking poor lowly WuShock or sticking up for them are Kansas people. Plenty (like Doug) are probably thinking this just shows they played no one during the season and they couldn't handle playing a good/talented team.

Last night's Wiscy game featured similar offensive efficiency. Fun to watch both.
I'm glad I've been insulated from WSU fans enough to separate the team on the floor, and the game I watched from any fanstuffs. We all knew that Kentucky at it's best had a lot of JYC in them. During the game I felt both teams played with that toughness and tenacity. Really reminded me of why we all loved watching Frank's teams play so much.

JYCing while also hitting shots is pretty fun to watch. They shot 62% (59% 2s, 44% 3s) and still rebounded 35% of their misses and had a 44% FT rate (both better than WSU). WSU was slightly better shooting and on TO%, but out-JYCing the Shocks won the game.
I can't help but feel like wsu played to its ceiling today but I guess I have no way of knowing bc it was the first time this season they've had to. Even still I really doubt wsu could have played any better than they did.

I'm not talking about the fans, but you gotta feel bad for the kids that lose that game. Whether it was Kentucky or WSU who came out on top. That was high-level basketball from start to finish. I enjoyed every minute of it as a basketball fan. That was fun to watch.
I can't help but feel like wsu played to its ceiling today but I guess I have no way of knowing bc it was the first time this season they've had to. Even still I really doubt wsu could have played any better than they did.
2nd best shooting game, 2nd worst oboarding game, worst defensive game of the year.
I've seen a lot of people say that Kentucky isn't really an 8 seed. Who did they beat this year to justify giving them a better seed? They lost 3 out of their last 4 games coming into the tournament.

How is that possible considering they played Florida in the SEC championship game?

And lost by 1 point. I know the conference tourneys don't matter much to the committee, but if a team as talented as Kentucky suddenly gets hot, they should.
There isn't really much consistency when it comes to how the committee operates. On the one hand, you are allegedly rewarded (or punished) for what you accomplish during the regular season. But on the other hand, they do take into account how you might perform during the tournament based on externalities. Take for example how the committee announced they would be in constant communication w/ KU in regards to Embiid's availability.
Wichita's (and NYC's) gone bonkers for these shockers!

I read a lot of dissent from said e-mail, but what the article failed to mention was the specific content of the offending article. If the gist of the article were about not being totally butthurt, then I would say that PR news ethically and responsibly couched their message. But what do I know? I'm not a PR pro living in Wichita.

He's small and he sucks
You guys haven't brought one compelling thought to the table, so I'll just assume you guys don't think he's an NBA player cause he's white and from a small town in Kansas.CASE CLOSED!
Non tapatalk from Antons shitter
He was having a hard time guarding one of the Harrison's. He could barely stay in front of him and neither of the Harrison's are renowned for their speed on or off the ball. Granted, they both had a length advantage but Baker was an absolute defensive liability in that second half. He is an elite level shooter thoughthe man makes a pretty good point here fanning
He's small and he sucksHe's growin 2 inches in the last year and definitely doesn't suck. Dude can drive and is nails from deep, but hey, he plays for Witchita State and scouts live him, so what do I know. He's 6'4" BTW.
it is scary how dumb fanning isIt's scary how much you follow me around on here. You know nothing about sports.

Fanning played high school baseball for whatever hick school he went to and almost was good enough to try out for a real college team, Kim Carnes.
To be fair to fanning, most people are really, really dumb when it comes to determining which college players will play in the NBA. He's in the majority.
Hey Ron, some nobodies from the middle of nowhere think you suck. You should quit for their shitty jobs cause they think you stink and are too short! Thoughts?

Have another drink, dude. For what it's worth to you, I thought your last post made sense. Sorry you didn't see it that way.
I'd be happy to drink with bones. I just think we (gE blog) nit pick at strange things. We'd love Ron in our lives.

If that match up happens, I will enjoy the complaints about matching up higher seeded mid majors with other mid majors.
Brad crushing WSU's dreams on national television would skyrocket him right past what we can expect in a post-oscar hire. We won't settle for digging through the ashes under Currie when the blue bloods come calling.If that match up happens, I will enjoy the complaints about matching up higher seeded mid majors with other mid majors.
I will also enjoy taking the 4 to 5 points with SFA and putting little on the ML with Brad's boys as well.

Brads offense is a giant mismatch for WSU. It would be hard not to put heavy money on the ML.

Would take Marshall in a NY minuteWichita State is slowly becoming the better coaching job.
They aren’t going to miss a beat in the AAC.

It helps to have a coach that's not a complete dork that actually wins games.Would take Marshall in a NY minuteWichita State is slowly becoming the better coaching job.
When you got tons of $$ from the Koch Bros and they aren't doing it for evil (other than for making WSU a better coaching job) than yes, they will become quite the job.
Their coach is a huge dork, though.
