Shocker fans hoping WSU collides with KU in tournament.

[owenc]

But I do love the Dec. 1987 game when we beat Danny Manning and the eventual national champs 57-49 in Henry Levitt Arena.

WSU and everybody else. They lost 11 games that year.

[Aargh]

Die thread! Die!!

I'm not helping, am I?

K-Who? I just want us to first and foremost, make the Dance. Then, it would be cool to still be playing as KU and K-State watch from home, as demonstrated last time we made it to the Dance. Our Shocks played UConn about as tough as any team last Season. It took about a 44-13 throw disparity for them to finally beat us.

Then as most KU fans say about VCU or Butler, KU that year, was not the best team, not even close.

[ShockerFever]

Don't ever think that they would not be hyped up for us.

No doubt about it they would be amped for that matchup. Then they can finally justify a reason for ducking us so many years. We just aren't worthy enough to play them. We are no benefit to them. We would be an RPI drag, like this year. Thus, they would totally be focused and have extra motivation for the matchup.

As Stacey King is still pointing out to anyone that will listen, Oklahoma was the best team that year (and every year before or since).

One other thing folks need to remember, is that K-who does not Dance so well versus Valley teams or the B-Teams they play. Sooo, would they win 8-10 versus the better Valley teams? Well, ask Bradley and N. Iowa who they did have to play at the Dance not so very long ago.

As Stacey King is still pointing out to anyone that will listen, Oklahoma was the best team that year (and every year before or since).

As I recall 2 of Ku's 11 losses that year were to Ou. Ku only beat Ou once that year, but it was the game that really mattered.

Dont forget SIU and the phantom basket

As Stacey King is still pointing out to anyone that will listen, Oklahoma was the best team that year (and every year before or since).

If KU doesn't hit the lottery that year in the dance, AND GET A HOME GAME(S) in the Final Four, OU boatraces them.

OU was the better team. KU became the only team to play the Final 4 basically on their home floor. It was a joke.

[forevershockerfan]

If I recall, just the Season before KU did beat Oklahoma, Danny and his Miracles visited 21st and Hillside. Oooops. Failure for them and we held Danny to around only 12 points.

I'm sure WSU would like to forget the 90's as much as KU would like to forget about losing to WSU in the Battle of New Orleans in 1981.. Either argument holds water. True, it's silly to go back and laugh about ousting KU from the Sweet 16, but it's not a bad motivational tool in the event of meeting KU in the NCAA tourny, but it's also silly to hold WSU accountable for the bad losses to KU in the 90's... Much has changed since then for WSU basketball. I think Lutz made himself look silly with that 2 out of 10 statistic.. Where exactly does this series take place? AFH and the Sprint Center only? Certainly some where that gives KU tremendous home court advantage.

[shock]

Guys, really? I am as sick as anyone of the KU elitist arrogance, but Stutz and Hall dominating T-Rob and Whithey? Please. Our guards could hang with Releford, Taylor and company. We would lead until T-Rob gets appropriately p.o.'d like he did last night. Then we're in trouble. Having said that, I hope it comes to pass and I'm made to eat these words.

Not stutz and hall. EO and stutz

KU became the only team to play the Final 4 basically on their home floor. It was a joke.

I think this possibility exists most years. Unranked team in the tournament from within 30 miles of the location of the Final 4. Can't be that rare.

[kcshocker11]

I think Mr Hall would do quite well against T-Rob and I think Stutz would win the battle against their 7 fter. I have watched a lot of KU games, the talent level is on par
