    it might be pertinent to mention that wichita state was also favored in the 2015 sweet sixteen matchup with notre dame.

    but the irish came out RED HOT, 'shockers scrapped, took the lead in the second half and then the irish got RED HOT again. hopefully, the irish will be a bit more down to earth today (even if brey does coach the best team offense, year in and year out, in the country imo).

    having said that, i almost forgot my prediction:

    robert elmore- 79
    john shumate- 75

      Speaking of Colsen, he is currently sitting #3 in Kenpom's PoY standings. Our own Shaq Morris is sitting at #4, the only Wichita State player I can think of to make the top 10 list. I'll also note that on that same page Ria'n Holland leads the NCAA in game MVPs, having led his team in 4 of 6 games.

      I'd like to see Shaq have a statement game and take that #3 spot from Colsen. He's played well all this year, but this game may reach the most eyes of any game we play all year. Two ranked teams competing for a tournament championship and possibly for top 10 spot in the polls, with a revenge storyline and individual performances to watch.

        Please don't take this wrong, but I could care less about individual statistical warfare I just want our team to beat ND!

          Not to be “well actually” guy. But Cle finished the undefeated season #8 in the kPOY rankings

            I get you. A dominant Shaq means nothing if we lose tonight. But I don't think we lose if Shaq plays as well as he can; his ability to take over a game may be as good as any Marshall player.

              Did ND play Chaminade for their first game?

                ND hasn't seen hair on fire defense like I'm positive 3G will demand from start to finish. Shocks with another 10-15 point victory!

                    don't be surprised if midtgaard gets some minutes tonight. notre dame richly deserves a wrench thrown right back at them. will it stick?

                      Yes they did. I think the score was 83-56. Closer than the LSU game.

                        Honestly though, there are plenty of decent sports bars to watch the game as long as they will turn it on.

                        Brix in downtown Plano
                        Austin Avenue
                        End Zone
                        Tailgaters
                        Wing Daddy's
                        The Franchise
                        Brick House
                        Chips Burgers

                        Some are better than others, but all are options. There are more, but these are the ones off the top of my head.

                        I have lived here for 1 1/2 years but haven't been able to try some of those yet. I have been inside most of them due to my work.

                          That's kinda like two bye games. Has ND been tested at all this year (played anybody the caliber of Marquette)?

                            Go to Buffalo Wild Wings; sit at the bar and tell them you want to watch Fred and Ron (hope Ron plays) at 6:30 pm and WSU/ND at 9:30... and you want the 'big' screen. Remember, the early bird (usually) gets the worm.

                              Prior to Maui they played Depaul, Mount St. Marys, & Chicago St.

                              No challenging games at all.
