Just saw this on twitter

"@GottliebShow Odds of Wichita St. (a .330 team during the regular season) hitting their last 7 from behind the arc? 2346-to-1"

These guys didn't just beat the odds against anyone, they did it against the #1 team in the country. Clutch.

Some of the individual players that took those threes shoot better than the rest of the team. If you calculate the odds based on who was shooting them then the odds of hitting seven in a row was only 1741 to 1. So still incredibly unlikely.

I thought Paul Suellentrop hit out of the park with this follow-up report on the Shocks win over Gonzaga:

The cold numbers show the Shockers scored on 10 of their final 12 possessions — including five straight three-pointers — to outscore one of the nation’s best scoring teams 25-12 in the final 6:05.

I think I've watched the end of this game 5 or 6 times already. It gets better each time.

Here's a replay of the entire game... :)

It may be just me, I'm getting a little fed up about reading how the Zags choked and how they lost to a team who had 6 MVC losses (twice to Evansville). Doesn't the national media understand that the MVC was the 9th ranked conference (out of 33) and that Evansville has been hovering in and out of the top 100 in the RPI most of the year? As WSU fans, it's hard to accept being swept by EU, but this year they weren't exactly Presbyterian College. It's too bad that Evansville's name just oozes 'small time' and they and we suffer for it. If we had lost two games to Boston College, Vanderbilt, Rutgers, Dayton and Texas would the national media still point this out? (Those teams all have worse RPI's than Evansville).

I digress, but it's crap like that I hope continues to leave a chip on the player's shoulders.

Not to be a total douche.. But sounds like you're reading your own posts

Excellent article in the New York Times this morning on the Shockers. Among other things it calls out the reporting KC is complaining about:

Totally agree. ESPN online did a "reseeding" for the sweet 16 and they had us at 14th (with FGCU 13 and La Salle 15). Don't have the link cause I'm on my phone, but really, who we gotta beat to get some respect?
