**Official WSU vs. Kentucky Game Thread**

We will miss Cle. I wish he had taken the last shot.
Very proud of our toughness, they just shot out of their minds and got every whistle.

@AndyGlockner: Shockers shot 55% FG, 10-21 3s, 9 TOs and didn't get destroyed on the Off Glass by UK. That profile wins like 99.999% of the time.

[Dshocker]

For the record, starters were 9-9 from the stripe. Bench was 3-9. Ballgame.

[shockerfan]

Don't let the trolls get to you all. It took Kentucky's best overall performance to pull this off lol.

Disappointed cause WSU is the better TEAM. But the upsets is what makes the tourney what it is. Still very proud of this team.

[ShockerPrez]

This loss won't sting as much when we are hoisting the trophy next year. I promise.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Great effort by the whole team and Shocker Nation. Came up a little short to a group that played really well the 2nd half. Some say this recent success is a small window for WSU but I think its just one more pane in what promises to be a great picture window.

Tremendous effort. Came up short. Still just as proud as if we had won. Cherish the season. Still a bright future ahead.

Fouls (disparity) in the 2nd half is hard to overcome. There was a reason we were "beaten" on the boards. But, GREAT SEASON SHOCKS. SO PROUD OF A TEAM FULL OF HARDWORING AND DEDICATED YOUNG MEN.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Wow. The one cool Louisville fan called it. We lose and here come the Kentucky scum. What trash.

Don't address trolls right now and they go away. Too much to celebrate about the season we just had to focus on them for one second.

I'm renewing my ignore Fever status for the rest of the offseason, effective immediately. Trolls from other teams will get the same treatment.

It all came down to a last second shot for the win by FVV. A solid move to create space but the shot was off to the right but what a banner Season by our Shocks. In the last 8 minutes, the Wildcats got lots of throws and rebounded well. Kentucky did more damage inside the 2nd half than the first half and that hurt us. Cle and Baker played awesome and all of our beloved Shocks played their hearts out and I am proud of our 35-1 Season to the max. 31 points and 7 rebounds by Cle and Baker had 20 points. I thought Kentucky shot above their curve today to barely win. We led most of the game and gave ourself a great chance to win. Most of the "I told you so crowd" now know we are for real. Kentucky could win several more games if they play like they did today. WSU gave us a special Season that was beyond our expectations going in and I could not be more proud of our team. We left it all on the floor and the game could have went either way.

This is one of the best programs in one of the best cities in one of the best countries in the world. If you don't experience some heartbreak, the highs never feel as joyous.

On to next year. On to the next big thing.

I love you guys!!

Put the refs whistles in the trash and WSU wins by 12

[wsushox1]

Didn't control the harrison twins.

For the better part of the season they were by far UK's best player(s). They are big, physical guards. UK shot lights out in warm-up and in the game. Good for them. Monster game by CLE.

Refs missed a lot of elbow contact all game. Early missed late jump hook by getting hit on arm. baker hit on arm on bank three.

Pat Riley in attendence.

[wsushox1]

Not often I say this, but WSU got ****ed.

That is all.

Mike Stuart missed several and multiple fouls on WSU shooters. Notably on Cle's hook shot. That was un****ingbelievable that that was not called.
