And the only team that didn't struggle with it's opponent was the one that NOBODY picked as having a chance to make the tournament.
Its a good landing if you can walk away, its a great landing if the plane can be reused the next day. -

...and ALL those teams will play out of their minds when they get a chance at the Shockers. How tough is Gregg Marshall's squads over the years to not just "show up" against lesser opponents. You have to treat each game as if it is your last game. Most programs don't do that...hence their terrible losses to crappy teams or way to close wins against crappy teams. MTXE BABY!!! WE GOT IT!!! MOST don't. Go SHOCKS!!!FINAL FOURS:

While it's always fun to harass the Redbirds, this is something that is going to become increasingly common. With the expansion of high speed mobile data with smartphones, mote people are consuming sports in a different way. ESPN is rapidly losing its subscriber base and is trying to figure out how to stay viable. More and more games will be broadcast on social media like Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter.Originally posted by AndShock View PostYou miss 100% of the shots you don't take....
.....but, statistically speaking, you miss 99% of the shots you do take.Comment

What you said is true but the point is that this game has so little appeal that they feel like they can guinea pig with it. If it flops nobody will notice. See what I did there?Originally posted by Steeleshocker View PostOne quick note before we present the rankings: With Wichita State’s move to the American Athletic Conference, the Shockers have moved out of the mid-major club. We wish the Shockers well against Cincinnati, UConn, SMU, and more.Comment

As fun as it is to rag on the Redbirds this has nothing to do with them. It's a MWC deal. http://mwwire.com/2017/11/16/facebook-stadium-partner-to-broadcast-live-mountain-west-basketball-games-this-season/Originally posted by Shoxthemonkey View PostComment

With the way the MWC is going, I think it's perfectly legitimate to rag on them. As far as ragging on IlSU, the best they could do for getting their game to viewers is to piggy-back onto the MWC's deal? That means if we rag on the MWC for using FB to broadcast their game, then we can doubly rag on IlSU for being unable to get a better deal than that.Originally posted by ShockCrazy View Post
Unfortunately the next step would be to rag on the Shox for their exclusive deal with Cox, which might actually be worse for potential viewers than putting the game on FB. I think I prefer the AAC's youtube deal to any deal with FB, but then I'm old and don't have my nose constantly glued to social media to see the latest gossip and I hate chatty stuff on the Net. I'm WAY out of the loop.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.Comment

You misunderstand ISU has NOTHING to do with the broadcast of the game. Home team/conference owns the broadcast rights to the game. MWC/Nevada could have done whatever they want with the game. When we play at Baylor this weekend on ESPNU our leadership/American conference leadership has absolutely nothing to do with the decision.Originally posted by Aargh View Post
While the Cox deal isn't the greatest you go where the money is and right now that's definitely where the money is.Comment

I'm hoping the Irish make a good effort tonight against the Spartans. Their (the Irish) front line is going to be severely overmatched, even with Colson on the court.Comment
