Wichita State media love thread

[shocker3]

The Shocks are on the cover of espn.com again! ZERO SHOCK! http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/

[ShockerFever]

After the loss tonight, should I look for negative media articles in this thread? Or should a new thread be created titled Wichita State media hate thread? I see it as this, whether good or bad, as long as we're being discussed and commented on, it's a good thing.

After what tonight?

You should let your Dad in on that little nugget.

Sorry but you're going to have to explain that remark.

Pat Forde was in the house tonight.

Basically expect a scathing article from him.

The Shocker highlights were the first story on ESPN's College Basketball LIVE show. But then they followed that with our resume and both guys said that our resume is not good enough for a #1 seed even if we end up undefeated. They said not enough top 50 wins and not enough top 100 wins and no chance to improve our resume with our remaining games. I hope this not the spin that ESPN is going to go with on all of their shows between now and selection day.

"Don’t believe it?

Let’s see how you feel when Early & Co. end up in your favorite team’s region on Selection Sunday. Maybe you’ll change your mind."

My favorite line "Despite his name, VanVleet is not an eccentric Dutch shipping magnate, but a 5-foot-11 point guard from Rockford, Illinois, with a competitive fire that dates back to childhood."

How is a win against a top 15 (and rising) team on the road(!) not a marquee "feather in the cap" win?? I don't understand.

Given his lauding of St. Louis's undefeated stretch in the A10, I think it is clear that he thinks that it is a good win, but also knows that he is writing the article primarily to the kind of people who only look at names on the uniforms, so he knows that calling St. Louis a marquee win won't get anywhere with that crowd.
