******* is an Ass

[ShockerFever]

he sure did backtrack the other day and kissed Kellen's ass though

Well that makes him a two-faced brownnoser, which makes himself out to being more douchy, if that's even possible.

I don't think there's a team in the country that wants to face KU with a healthy Embiid and Wiggins with a year of experience under his belt. The difference between KU at the beginning of the season and KU with Embiid toward the end of the season is huge.

KU, without Embiid, is very good, but definitely beatable. I'd love to have KU in our bracket as a 2 or 3 seed.

I have a feeling that the story line for a WSU/KU match would be too good for the Selection Committee to pass on. Two Wichita HS players on the KU roster. Nick and Andrew on the rosters. That matchup can be hyped beyond belief and get a HUGE national audience. The back stories are great. The biggest challenge would be to cut the content of the back stories down to the available air time.

Let's leave thread titles with the word "ass" in them for @WstateU:. :)

You're just baiting him.

Like that old Dusty Springfield song: "Baitin' and Hopin..."

[BOBB]

Go away, batin'!

He'll has (temporarily) frozen over. Is this his equivalent of saying "she has a nice personality"?

@GoodmanESPN: One thing Florida and Wichita State have in common other than being ranked at top of polls: They both play "team" basketball. No egos.

******* has said many dumb things and has generally been negative about WSU, but he has mixed in some compliments all along. I don't see why this comment would be all that surprising.

It is not surprising at all. Most all of his positive comments have had the same undertone. But it is surprising to a degree given his comments about us and KU yesterday.

So I will amend my hell freezing over comment and downgrade it to an Arctic Blast. The hot, cold, hot, cold scenario is more accurate... :-P

He just took another shot at WSU. SUCH a *****.
Oh and thanks a lot Saint Louis for sucking

Very predictable.

WSU lives in his head.

For being a stat geek, you're perplexingly not bright.

You gotta love this topic and the comments are kind of humorous. You have Fever on one hand going a little overboard on ******* (who probably wants to be a jerk), and then you have JH4P who just wants to argue with Fever and sticks up (maybe he actually rides the fence) for *******.

Please explain why my last comment was "not bright". I'm "not bright" enough to understand.

I have a friend that has an IQ that's off the charts. It just so happens his common sense is off the charts too.

From *******

ST. LOUIS -- Wichita State came into the season without cache, despite the Shockers' surprising Final Four berth a year ago. High-major programs didn’t want to face Gregg Marshall’s program since it didn’t have the same clout as, say a Gonzaga or Memphis. A loss against the Shockers just didn’t hold the same weight.

Until now.

I poked holes at Wichita’s schedule all season, debating whether this team was deserving of a No. 1 seed. There were just a few quality wins in the non-league slate, and the Missouri Valley was as bad as its been in more than a decade. I wanted to see Marshall play two-for-ones (two times at an opponent’s venue and one in Wichita State), but he felt as though the program deserved the respect to play a straight home-and-home series.

But the Shockers gained my respect. It doesn’t matter whether they were worthy of a top seed. These guys are legit, and they won’t be pulling a disappearing act from the national stage. But now -- like Gonzaga and Memphis have done -- the Shockers need to find a way to stay in the spotlight.
