3-0 in the Valley. A great start. 16-0--mind boggling. 17-0--another record forthcoming. Cotton moves his feet as well as any Shocker I am ever witnessed. FVV assist to turnover ratio is off the charts. Tonight, we was not shooting the throws as good as usual.

Two games in a row the Starters and main bench has held a team under 50. I'd say that's pretty good.

"Back in the Valley again..."

Illinois State is pretty bad...those were some of the ugliest shots I have ever seen. I was starting to hope WSU would just leave certain guys open because they were lucky to hit the rim from 3 point range. Their gimmick defense is actually pretty good and I can see why some Valley teams will struggle against it.

Was there a post-beating handshake?

Yes. Not a slap on the back or any discussion, but a brief handshake as they went down the line.

"Toy" may not be the right word but it sure seems like we have controlled every game and simply decide when to make the kill. Kind of like a cat with a mouse. "You can live until I say otherwise".

Ill State has a long ways to go to start competing. The current roster isn't gonna get it done.

It's been fantastic having the Shockers in the top 10. I'm getting to see a lot more of their games here in Tucson!!!!!! Being a fan of both UA and WSU, it's been a unbelievable year. Both unbeaten. It just doesn't get any better than that.

Clowned em. Plain and simple. We could've won by 50 but Marshall again called the dogs off. Wish he wouldn't have, but oh well.

Free throw shooting was atrocious. Also could have been a bigger blowout if we hit throws.

We have now won 10 out of the last 11 with the Redturds. Yeah, real competitive there Redturd fans.

This is the first game I've seen where we have actively toyed with our opponent. It doesn't sound right to say, but there was definitely a point where we got sloppy because we just knew we were a better team and could score or rebound at will (after the starters came back in during the second half). I think we all knew that if we kept our starters in and focused the entire game this could have gotten ugly.

Was there a post-beating handshake?

Just barely. Very weakass handshake by Muller.

You have to feel for Evan "This Year's Jake White" Wessel. Can't get a 3 to go down to save his soul. He has got to be so frustrated.

Ok, I lurked on the Redbird game thread for most of the game. Might as well cut and paste every other thread all season. WSU not top ten material. High NCAA seed and will lose to un named qualifier. Refs made sure the Shocks would beat the spread. My favorite: We will be better than WSU next year. FVV did make a big impression. I've told this once before, but I remember a quote from a high school football player whose team got beat 56-0 and didn't get a first down until the third quarter.."We're just as good as they are, we just didn't execute".....I think he posts on some of these boards from time to time.

There were a few realistic comments made by some level-headed posters but there were far more ignorant, butt-hurt responses and reactions.

Right now they have a couple threads going, one about our "homer" announcers and another calling Marshall a bum. They get so whiny, paranoid and butt-hurt it's almost funny. They can't stand the fact that Marshall owns their asses and destroys their bunch of wannabes. So, they go after him. Can't defend their dumpster fire of a program so they look for something to pick at.

You will never, NEVER be at a level we're at Redturd fans. You will NEVER be a Top 10 ranked team, a 25+ game winner, a conference contender. Your program is garbage. Have fun with that.

And I know you'll be counting down the days to play us in AbNormal in your Super Bowl.

Simon May be the worst player I have ever seen on a Division I basketball court. Absolutely clueless.

For your first post thats a little harsh.
