"They want a piece of us. They want a piece of us. Let's give 'em the whoooole thing. Let's give them the whole enchilada."

In a season chock-full of intriguing story lines, the Shockers stand as the most compelling. Led by a candid, shoot-from-the-hip coach, they are a bunch of overlooked, under-recruited players who proudly wear a chip on their shoulder. And they recoil at the suggestion that WSU is a "mid-major" program.

In fact, when a reporter asked Marshall in a news conference about being a mid-major, the coach bristled and said, "That 'MM' term that you used has been buried. I'm sure you saw that, but they had the funeral and everything, last rites. It's over."

You are right not easy to do! I here around the leagues title circles WSU is not the cleanest program if you know what I mean! That statement came from an AD at one of the MVC schools.

Some people lol. They just try and find excuses why Wichita State could be sooooo good....ridiculous

Anyway, this team amazes me. Even when the shots weren't falling and the Sycs were trying to climb back I was never worried or stressed. That is new ground for me. I am usually close to a heart attack at times in the past with games of this magnitude. This team just finds ways. I was confident and never worried. That is a great feeling to have. Such an AMAZING team. Love it! AND THEY DO IT THE RIGHT WAY!!

I'm not going to say I was worried, but man, I was just waiting for one of our guys to hit a big shot, and they did.

I loved watching the team warm up before games. Cannot believe Ria'n Holland's dunking ability. That kid can get waaay off the floor!

What a wonderful way to cap off an undefeated season with a conference tournament title. Going to need more trophy cases at this rate yo.
