I'm back one more time, Shox

[60Shock]

Good luck. Hope you guys win it all.

[Shock Top]

I appreciate the UK fans that have stopped by, and I enjoyed the ones around me in St. Louis.

Certainly I had no dog in the hunt today. Seeing those kids win, I don't know, just didn't seem right. I'm probably still stinging from the game knowing that my team is one of the 2 or 3 best teams in the country this year.

I will go to my grave believing in 2014 our Shockers deserved to play for the National Championship. DESERVED.

Just doesn't seem fair.

I know what you mean Doc...

I feel the exact same way.

[Shock Top]

No - Kentucky is going to take it all again. Beating a good WSU team is good mojo.
George Mason and VCU uses it to get to the F4.
Louisville used it to win a title last year.
I suspect Kentucky will do as well.

Dont forget UConn in Maui

No joke, we are seriously the luckiest opponent someone could have.

If you beat us, you are well on your way to the Final Four..

[Rosewood]

As @kcshocker11: pointed out don't forget UConn in Maui. Maybe 3G should use these "trends" as a selling point to schedule some of the bigger names.

Sometimes I forget how deep the rabbit hole goes

Another one: In November of 2008, I watched a WSU team led by freshmen and sophomores give a Michigan State team everything they wanted and more.

Later that season, I watched that same Michigan State team play in the National Championship.

That was the rain delay game wasn't it?

Yes.

Last year we couldn't play the hottest team in the country because it was us.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't think that statement is true. WSU lost 3 of its last 5 entering the NCAA tourney last year.

Kentucky lost games before their run this year... I think you like hearing yourself talk so you try to tear others opinions down... I think I'm FINALLY getting tired of it

Why so angry? I politely disagreed with you. Is that not allowed?

Do you believe a 4 game winning streak equates to the hottest team in the country. I don't. That's all.

Not taking sides here, but I don't exactly get either. Neither team entered the Dance "hot".

Entering the stretch, WSU was 19-2 and went 7-6 over the last 13 games and 2-3 over the last 5 losing to Creighton twice, but only by 3 the last time. Not a hot team.

Entering the stretch, UK was 19-5 and went 5-5 over the last 10 games and 2-2 or 3-4 to finish losing to Florida twice, but only by 1 point the last time. Not a hot team.

ShockTalk, you just made a valid point, but you do realize that it was not 100% favorable to WSU. Watch out! The trolls will now be coming for you!

You are missing the point, neither team was hot going into the dance, but both certainly had the pieces and caught fire at the right time. Both were the hottest teams in the NCAA tournament.

I'm not trolling; it just seems that whenever someone posts an opinion, everyone comes out to discredit it.... And usually you are leading the charge...

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

This is a message board. People post opinions. People disagree and post their counter opinions. A conversation is formed.

What a terrible thing!.... wait, let me correct that... what a turrible thing!
