OFFICIAL FINAL 4 GAME THREAD-WSU VERSUS LOUISVILLE

[Rosewood]

Good season Shox. And wow, Cleanthony's only a JR?

I know rite? But we are going to miss our seniors. Carl Hall ... damn.

Conference on cox 22

[another shocker]

We gave up 47 points in the second half.

oh, how that bothers me.

best thing is, though, that wichita state will be ranked #1 next year.. at some point.

NOT the end - its the beginning !!

Surprisingly, I'm not all that bummed out. Those guys laid it all on the floor tonite. Punched the biggest of the big boys right in the nose and stood toe to toe and did it again and again. L'ville players and coaches were classy, we were gracious in defeat. WSU was represented very well on the biggest of stages. Only thing I'm mildly down about, is that next season is a LONG ways away.

Couldn't agree more, dude

There are some dumb questions.

Magic has to happen for a final 4 run. Look at Gonzaga who has never repeated their breakthrough run to elite 8. It's about putting yourself in a position to win a game or two or see what happens. We just has to enjoy the ride no matter what because we are heading into a very special time for WSU basketball.

Great game, great season. I couldn't be more proud of the guys.

What a great speech by 3G. We have only began to fight. We are soooo very proud of our Players, Coaches, and Program. We are very hungry!!! GRRRRRRR!!!!

L-Ville did an excellent job attacking Baker and FVV down the stretch. They found the match-ups they could exploit. The good news is FVV and Baker are going to get a lot better in all aspects of the game and their starting from a very high level.

I know rite? But we are going to miss our seniors. Carl Hall ... damn.

Yeah, losing him and Armstead will hurt.

[tropicalshox]

Not super depressed. We play a good game and had a great run. Disappointed its come to an end a game to early but very proud of or team and coaches.

[pogo]

It is tough to get back to the final four. Looks how many "blue blood" teams fail every year. The dynasty's that used to be will never be again ie ucla, indiana dook and there will always be teams like ours that will make it. We will be back to the dance and once your are there ANYTHING can happen.

It was a good game, and closet game Louisville will have in the tournament. We were the better team for about 30 minutes. Unfortunately, they had a player get crazy hot and got the calls they needed at the end (the no call on the flagrant, the double foul, and the very quick jump ball).

Nothing to be ashamed of. We had a chance.

[1972Shocker]

Great season, guys. Not bad for a rebuilding year after losing 4 highest scorers from last year...!

Actually we lost 4 starters and our 5 highest scorers.
