    What happens in between? A toss up
    Hope they learn from past performances. 8)

    I still say its about the quality of 3s you take, not the quantity. But I know I am in the minority.

        I am predicting a big crowd. With all of the UNL fans in the area, empty Shocker seats will be filled with the red clad bugeater fans.

          Obviously, there are many shades and degrees of fandom. Everyone will have a somewhat different viewpoint, desire and ability to support the athletic progam at WSU.

          There are basically two ways a fan base can impact an athletic program: 1) with financial support (or lack thereof) and 2) with moral support. Guess which one is the more important in this day and age of college athletics.

          Yep, we expect our players and coaches to step up all the time and if they don't all heck breaks loose. I look at this as one of those times for the fans to step up (if they are able to).

            A view excerpts from 3G's news conference this morning at:

            Tonight's Game... Wichita State (24-8) plays host to Nebraska (19-12) in the Shockers' second-straight NIT appearance and the 12th overall.


            Also, I believe the Shocker Coach's shows will be at their usual times this eveing on KNSS 1330.

              Unfortunatey with this group high quantity = Low quality.

                Well, I see the Shockers are taking a different approach to the NIT this year. This time, they're in it to win it. :whistle:

                  Well, if the Shockers win the NIT, it would ease the pain of this season somewhat, but first they have to beat Nebraska (starts with N like Nevada).

                    Now that they have moved the baseball game to 2pm I went online and bought tickets to the UNL game.

                    Was able to get row 14. Good seats are still available.

That's what Nebraska does. It ain't pretty and it ain't fun to watch.

                      Good luck.

                      You know Doc contrary to popular opinion, there is a way to speed up a team that wants to play slow.

                      Mike Andereson is doing it at Missouri and Nolan Richardson and John Thompson did it with a 1-2-2 zone press back in the day.

                      The only reason a team plays slow is because they let it happen.

                        It surely seems to me that the local Wichita (Kansas) fans have supported the hell out of this team. I'm sure there are also a lot of out-of-town fans who do likewise by whatever means they can.

                        Perhaps this time the team should rise up to the ocassion and provide the fans with a meaningful win.

                        Things often work a lot better when they work in unison and are not one-sided.

                          No doubt. If the team and coaches conitnue to underperform a portion (perhaps a significant portion) of the fan base will give up. I'm not at that point yet and I am able to attend the game so I will. As a fan I have no control over what Shocker team shows up Wednesday. I probably have my breaking point also, but things would have to get really bad for me to throw the towel in and give up. So for now I will do what I can do as a fan.

                          I realize this season seems like a real downer and did not meet expectations but compare it to the last 25 years of the program and it doesn't feel quite so bad.

                            If we go 18-20 from 3 - we win!!

                            If we go 2-14 from 3 - we lose.

                              If we go 18-20 from three the Chuck will be sorely in need of some major roof repairs.

                                Regarding ticket prices, here are a couple of my old ticket stubs:

                                2003 NIT Opening Round WSU @ Iowa State Row 5 (balcony) --$10.00
                                NCAA Tournament Greensboro Seat 2 Row G -- $55.00
                                NCAA Tournamnet Washington D.C. Seat 7 Row J -- $65.00

                                I cannot find my Florida State NIT ticket. Maybe I torched it.

                                I am pretty sure the NIT sets the prices for NIT games. Also, WSU turned in a bid to host this game. My best guess is that bid was $150,000-$200,000. To make that bid, they charge out the a$$.

                                I guarantee you Mo. State's bid was much lower and they also are not on ESPN2.
                                Egotism is the anesthetic of stupidity.
