Games of interest

[RoyalShock]

I'm having fun on twitter

You're going to tempt me into following you, aren't you? ;)

[Shock Therapy]

You were saying?

Yeah, Florida just came alive. The close game was more of a testament to how bad Florida played for the first 30 minutes than how well Mizzou played. I've lost track of the number of times that Mizzou has let one of their guys get stuck in a trap because somebody was standing near the boundary dribbling the ball. It's pathetic.

So I tune in and Florida starts to pull away. I swear I'm the reason they keep winning.

Turn off your TV you son of a *****!

[Rosewood]

Oh good lord Missouri is so bad.

[RoyalShock]

Oh good lord Missouri is so bad.

Down by 24 now? Sheesh!

Never trust in misery.

I know that many people have stopped following teams like St. Louis and Tennessee now that the Shox are a lock for a #1 seed, but I think there is still significant reason to care about them. This is a historic year for WSU, and part of how it will be remembered is a look at who the best teams were that WSU beat along the way. I want SLU to get a good seed and make the Sweet 16. I want a team like Tennessee or BYU to pull off some upsets. These little things could help push this season out of "a great season" category and into "one of the best season's ever" category.

All I really remember about who we beat last year was Pitt, Gonzaga, Lasalle and OSU.

Last year was a year WSU fans will remember forever and fans around the country will vaguely remember along with George Mason, VCU, Butler, etc.

Due to 34-0, this year is going to stick in the national memory much more than last year. If WSU wins the National Championship, the regular season SOS probably won't matter, but anything less and the regular season SOS will be forever part of the debate about how good this WSU team was historically. I want this season to be remembered as one of the all-time greats. St. Louis possibily falling out of the top 25 and WSU having zero top 25 wins in the regular season is not the type of thing to help this season get remembered as an all-time great. I'm greedy and want it all... wins, recognition, a place in history, etc.

Seriously?? Now you're using hyperbole I suspect......

Maybe YOU do, but no way in hell do I need St. Louis or Tennessee or anyone else to validate the success of this season. Mid season tournament champs, regular season champs, post season conference tournament champs, first #1 seed ever, #2 ranking for over a month, ranked all season, legitimate threat to win the National Championship, 34 and freaking Oh. They could finish 34-1 and NOTHING needs to validate anything to me.

Me thinks you're losing way too much sleep on the opinions of sheep.

Yep. If you're still waiting for validation of this season, you really missed the boat on this season. Which is a shame, cause it has been a WHOLE lot of fun.

If Rutgers played Missouri, would a point be scored?

I would assume the field goal unit would have to be sent out.

You guys have gone off the deep end. Keep arguing the strawman all you want. When you want to address what I said, let me know.

I'm not losing sleep over what anyone else says. No joy is being taken from me. I will forever remember last season. I will forever remember this season. Amazing times and amazing memories.

However, none of that means that I have to have absolutely zero interest in what the national media says or does. I want the icing on the cake of having them forever talk about this team as one of the all-time greats. If I get that, great. If I don't, oh well. It won't ruin my day.

This isn't a controversial position to take. Anyone who says he takes absolutely zero, nada, zilch joy out of positive comments from the media is a liar.

In better news, Tenn has moved up to #13 in Kenpom, is up 8 already today and will likely get a chance to move up tomorrow. Cuonzo has them playing real well lately.
