Did Reaves actually say that he left WSU to play at a higher level or is that just the supposition of the person writing this story? The reality was that he needed a year off and couldn't get that at WSU where he would have been relied on the following year to be the center piece of the offense...in effect the team leader on a young team. He made the right decision for himself. Also Lon Kruger's style of coaching was probably a little more to his liking than Marshall's.

By the way, how was that not an "and 1" ? Seriously, had 'Bron shot that, they would have stopped the game to determine F1 or F2.
Did you see the mark on AR-15's arm in the interview? Bet that came from the follow through. He got somersaulted for crying out loud.
Would have loved for the official to give you one of those juggling hands move or something similar.

Austin made a move that obviously worked out very well for him. We would all be so fortunate if our decisions in our lives worked out so well.Last edited by 1972Shocker; December 16, 2021, 12:04 PM.

Let's call it like it is. There was a Divorce here when he left Wichita State of his own volition. Divorces are hard, and have mixed feelings. There are some bitter feelings mixed with good memories. At some point, people involved with Divorces, need to move on, and I think that both sides need to move on in this case. One can call him a Shocker still, but he really isn't.
I have nothing against him, but my good memories are fading away because he left us. I wish him well, but I really don't care anymore.

I will add that Austin not only isn't a Shocker anymore, he actually will be referred to as a Sooner by any NBA talking heads regarding his NBA career. As for me, my main and final memory of him will mainly consist of the disappointing loss to Marshall in the NCAA tourney, because immediately afterwards, he severed his Shocker ties.

They mentioned on SportsCenter every time I saw it that he started at Wichita State.
To each his own. I enjoyed watching him here and at OU (having nothing to do with my fondness for OU) and I cheered for our guys to light him up at IBA. Always was polite and a good kid from what I could see. Really glad he's having success now.
And completely understand if others aren't.

Steph Curry probably doesn't even get that call at the end of a tie ball game like that. Refs swallow their whistles at the end of games as they should. That's minimal to decide a game on.
