    A lot of the talking heads felt they were underseeded and should have been a 6. I think our defensive effort really made them look like garbage so give us some credit.

      4th in the Big East is pretty good. They are a solid team, WSU just played lights out defense and made enough offensive plays to get it done.

        This is the same as the "overrated" chant. It makes no sense. We just blew out a team that, if anything, got a worse seed than they should have (due to preventing Big East rematches). Let's not try to make the win less impressive than it was. Just enjoy it.

          I'm gonna throw out an idea not too many wanna hear. The Big East is "overrated" and the MVC in "underrated". No??? ;)

                I can't imagine that they played anywhere near their potential. That being said I agree with many others on the board that have said WSU's defense deserves much of the credit.

                  I don't know if the MVC is underrated, but WSU is.

                    How far could we go with last year's shooters and this year's defenders?

                      There are some who look at our losses and say TE same thing. Finally -- it is why YOU PLAY THE GAME!

                        Pitt is a good team.

                        F those who downplay how good they are. They are a well coached team, with good players.

                          Both teams looked a little slow to me. PITT for the whole game but WSU only for the first half. I don't know if PITT always plays that way but that may explain why WSU's perimeter defense looked better than usual today. But hay, I'll take it.

                            Pitt is no doubt a good team. But man the Shocks just sucked the life right out of 'em today, lead by Tekele cutting off the head of the snake.

                              Pitt is #8 in the country according to Pomeroy and their BPI is really good, we just stomped a really good team and when you say they are bad it takes away from what we did to them.
