I repeat... This thread is not about KU. I stole comments from KU's message board during our game with Kentucky, but this isn't about KU. This is about the respect and interest that WSU gained yesterday. Just read the following quotes taken directly from KU's board and think about how many thousands, make that millions, more were posted or talked about by fans around the country. Ignore the trolls. They are loud and try to appear to be the majority. The fact is that most of the country came away impressed with our Shox yesterday and the game was a gigantic commercial that money could not buy.
The end of the season was sad, but that feeling will slowly fade and I'll be smiling the rest of my life about this season and even this game.
Read on for just a small sample of what "that evil fanbase up North" was saying during the game yesterday.

Vanfleet can play some D!
Now that we are out, I hope WSU makes a deep run as they are one of the best teams in America, not a group of players that wear the same colors like UK.
Van Vleet... WOW!
Van vleet is an absolute stud
wow WSU looks like a well coached team the total opposite of us. Attacking UK bigs and running in transition. With no Embiid they would kick our asses.
I'll fess up, WSU would kick our ass.
WSU is really good. This game is being played at a much higher level than KU v. Stanford.
I know Marshall is the Phog's favorite whipping boy, but if our kids played with half the fire and intensity that the shockers do they would be hard to beat. Clearly Marshall is a good coach and has his kids ready to play.
WSU would destroy us. They have chemistry, energy, and everyone knows their roles.
u can hate Gregg Marshall and the WSU fanbase all you want (and I do most of the time), but you have to love the way this team plays basketball. Smart, aggressive, and abuses the other teams' weaknesses. They don't sit back and let the other team dictate tempo. If we had Van Vleet as our point guard, we'd be freaking unstoppable.
Let's count our blessings that a Tharpe vs. Van Vleet matchup never materialized.
Total opposite of how we played today. Our game was played at such a low level compared to this one. Tharpe isn't even in the same universe as Van Vleet. Damn I wish we had him on our team.
WSU not pissing down their leg against a big time program and bright lights
VAN VLEET... my goodness
Van Vleet is a fuggin animal
This team might not be overrated.
Whether they win or lose this game, I think they have proven in one half that they are legit.
I have a new man-crush.
At best, we have two players that would start for WSU.
Van vleet is just awesome.
Cleanthony knows how to finish in traffic. Wiggins should take note.
Say what you will about Ggreggg Marshallll, but the guy is a hell of a coach. When he takes about things that aren't Xs and Os he sounds pretty silly, but this team is so crisp and sound both offensively and defensively. I really like watching this team. Also, they are way closer to UK in terms of athleticism than anyone is willing to admit. I'm not convinced that they aren't the more athletic team, to be honest.
One thing about WSU, they're fluid and a FUN team to watch. A lot of times this year, even with a win, watching our games from an entertainment standpoint seemed almost equivalent to doing my taxes.
The Shockers would roll us. My goodness they can win it all.
Ron freaking Baker.
Baker = huge balls
Baker's a stud. Love watching him play.
Ron Baker has moxie. Something our guards sorely lack.
This is a tremendous game.
This IS an awesome game.
Damn this game is amazing
WSU showing some big onions
This game is a classic. By far the best basketball i have seen in the tourney this year.
This makes our game look like the junior varsity matchup
