OFFICIAL: Selection Sunday Thread

All I can say is two of the three national analysts have the Shockers making the final four - and most everyone on here is crying the deck was stacked?
Let these men play - there is nothing that will frighten them. Doesn't mean that they will go all the way, but you damn sure know they will give it everything they have. I wouldn't want it any other way.

Let' go!

Exactly. We have to keep in mind Rick Patino, Mike K, and Calipari are probably saying..."oh ****, they put us in Wichita State's bracket".

Sir Charles: "What the committee has done to Wichita State is a travesty."

Don't worry Charles. And Ron Baker would say to the coach, " we got this. " :-)

Yes. We don't have stress. We give it... ;-)

Embrace the doubt.

Marshall is about to be interviewed on ESPN

Did it happen? If so, how did it go?

[wufan]

He did good.

Said all brackets are tough. Last year helped us prepare for success this year. The rest has helped the team.

Coach Marshall had his game face on. :)

[shocktown]

That's usually how it works.

I imagine we'll be an early game, because everybody just loves watching KU in primetime.

I think UK v KSU gets evening tv because it's compelling matchup plus big blue nation is about the size of China.

It's all about the ratings!

That leaves us with with an evening slot opposite.

One would hope.

But supposedly KU has played a Friday night game for 4 straight years now.

I told him he was on camera.

But have they had to share the court with Kentucky?

[KCShockerFan]

How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time and we've been at the table feasting all season. This is the ride we've all been waiting for. This is the team that can do it. There is nothing stopping us. Eye of the tiger baby, eye of the tiger. GO SHOX!

If UK gets past KState, is it possible we'll be outnumbered as fans?

If so, just another reason to like the draw. We all know the shockers play better on the road.
