$20K question: Has WSU done enough to get in the dance?

[C0|dB|00ded]

So ****ing tired of both losing to Cincinnati and losing in the semifinals of this tournament

I remember a time when losing in the semi-finals of the MVC tournament was a resounding season success. We just won the regular season championship in a power conference with a total newbie coach. I'd say we have nothing to ***** about at this point.

Let's sign a Lunker, a coldblooded PG, and then go "have some fun" again.

I'm excited to see what a black head coach - in this day and age- can do on the recruiting trail for the Shockers. I think folks might be pleasantly surprised. We'll see.....

Cincinnati is going to be tough going forward. Those freshman will only get better, the UC freshman outplayed sophomores, juniors and seniors. Going forward better figure out PG and post.

DD has to attack the basket and force them to make a defensive play - there
was plenty of time for him to take it all the way instead we get a low % shot.
It was an exciting season.

He’s not a good enough dribbler to take it the full length of the court like that though.

That’s just reality.

[ShockRef]

Just way too many bad decisions throughout the whole game.
Gilbert scored 14, gave up 24. For a Sr transfer and Burger Boy, he absolutely screwed that game.
So many mistakes against a team missing their best player.
Udeze didn't block out on the first FT, cost a few precious seconds. TE's missed 2 FT's really hurt too.
DD... have labeled an enigma many times and today was one of those times. Just disappeared the whole game. If RC4 could play defense, would have left him in.

If Georgetown or Oregon State wins tonight... poof! They are home for the holidays. Just don't have enough Q1 or Q2 wins. C19 crap really hurt, with no wins over Memphis or SMU.

That is all.

House money.

I expected to be an embarrassment to the league this year.

I have a bad feeling about tomorrow. Has the selection committee ever done us any favors? Lmao

Damn

[Singeril]

I literally will not watch an NIT game. Sorry.

We'll get smoked in the first round of the NCAA's if we get "lucky" and make it but I'd definitely prefer being there at least.

Agreed. I haven’t watched us in an NIT game since 2011.

100 percent this. Don’t care about the NIT. This isn’t an NIT program

[SB Shock]

We hired the wrong guy.

This team was lost in this week.

Yip

He has questionable handles. Did you not see the lack of confidence as he handed the ball to Gilbert?

[Maizerunner08]

Apparently we used them all up a couple years ago with SHJ hitting two and DD hitting one. Can't complain too much this season with how fortunate we've been in multiple situations with opponents missing theirs

Ah yeah forgot about DD and Tulane.

2020. Black head coach with no prior experience. I like our chances.

[Kung Wu]

This team has FAAAR exceeded this season's expectations, and there may be more to come. Time will tell.
