WSU vs. CU, MVC Tournament Game Thread 9 AM CST

[ShockerFever]

And seriously, when we're as horrible as we've ever been, we're still better than Creighton. Always have been, always will be.

In honor of their last activity in the Valley, GFY CU.

+1.

Although I've had a bit more respect for Ed after reading some articles about him and his thoughts on WSU.

But yah, eff em. We got the last laugh, hahahaha.

MVC! MVC! MVC!

Creighton will start freshman Austin Groth against WSU because No. 2 starter Nick Musec is out with a bad back. Groth’s presence on the mound appears to be a break for the Shockers. They knocked him out in 4 1/3 innings with nine hits and two walks on their way to a 4-1 victory on May 12. Regardless of how the pitching shakes out, the pressure is on WSU’s offense after it managed seven hits Tuesday.

Well, for once the offense actually responded -- nice job today, and especially nice to see Coy make an impact. He's capable of being a difference maker. The Shockers who showed up this morning could play for the tournament championship. Somehow they'll have to win three more times tomorrow and Friday to get there, though.

I have a ton of respect for Ed and what he's accomplished. No ill will there at all.

CU players and their vagina exposed fans can go eff themselves.

Nice job, Shocks. Could not have asked for a better outcome especially with A.J. going the distance.

To jump on the coat tails of talking smack on the tournament, here they are drying off the field with a..... couch cushion?

Actually they had several of them. I am not sure it did much good but they would let them get soaked full of water and then carry them off the field and then jump up and down on them to wring them out.

Not good for the old at-large chances -- I think CU is likely to be on the sidelines until Big East baseball arrives, as Warren Nolan now shows them 64th. If Illinois State wins its way to the finals, they'll probably blow past Creighton and maybe even give themselves an at-large chance.

The 15th ranked Valley is a one bid league this season. You can't be second best in the 15th ranked league tourney and have an RPI over 60 and expect an at large.

Evansville eliminates Bradley 4-3 on a walk-off 3-run homer by Kevin Kaczmarski in the bottom of the 9th.

If they're second best, they probably won't have an RPI rank over 60. Whether it's good enough would be another matter, and I personally suspect the odds would be against them -- but who knows?

What?

ISUr has an RPI of 68 and will be at home playing teams with RPIs 125 or higher rest of tourney. They couldn't crack 60 if they won out. There was never an at large chance by any team in the valley despite what the blue jay propaganda claimed before hand. It's a one bid league this year.

The #3 Regular Season MVC team - STRIKE 1
RPI of 68 in the 15th Ranked Conference - STRIKE 2 & 3
0-2 Finish in the MVC Tournament - STRIKE 4

There is no chance the CU goes anywhere except to the Big East
