OFFICAL: WSU vs KU

[pinstripers]

Perry jumped sideways, he was not straight up.

[1972Shocker]

Yeah, I thought Perry definitely fouled Fred after looking at the replays even though he received the worst end of it.

I think Oubre intended to foul Tekele hard enough to make sure he didn't make the basket but I don't think he intended to injure Tekele although he easily could have. I think a Flagrant 1 was probably the right call. Oubre at least made an attempt to break Tekele's fall although not very successfully.

Clearly Oubre's transgression was a totally different situation and a significantly worse offense then Fred's accidental elbow to the nose while he was fighting off a much bigger man while being in a vulnerable position and after having taken some contact from that bigger man. And they were rightfully treated differently by the officials.

I am not impressed with Crean as a head coach, but after this weekend, it seemed like he had a better game plan than Self.

I still think The Hairpiece is a great coach, but my goodness, HCGM just clowned him yesterday.

Listening to 810whb right now disucssing the game and Kevin Keitzman posed the question if Gregg Marshall is not the best coach in America right now, who is?

That's easy . . . There is no better coach than Gregg Marshall.

I don't watch a lot of KU games, but it seemed like BS kept smiling even while his team was down, like he wasn't taking WSU seriously. There was even a timeout after we took the lead where he was smiling at his team and saying, "We're alright." It wasn't until the end of the game where I saw him get upset, and by then it was too late.

Is this a case of overlooking us, or is this his usual demeanor?

I'm thinking it was just the fact that he realized he lost the game big time and was mentally preparing himself for all of the post-game questions, not just the media, but the AD, the fans and, most importantly, the boosters.

"But Bill, how could you lose for a third time to an MVC team in the tournament?"

To me, it was the look of utter disbelief, like he just couldn't comprehend that a bunch of lunch pail, blue collar, two star players just schooled his five stars. I think Fred said it best: "This is college. You ain't no draft pick yet."

Some hilarious name tossing going on here. I read all the ideas to my wife and we got a big kick out of them! That being said the name has always been Ella Mercy.

Nevertheless, go SHOX!

Love her name - Ella Mercy, Shocker at birth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If someone is technically adept and knows how to create a GIF, in the first half when the Shox hit the three to take the lead before halftime, CBS pans to the KU bench when Self calls a T.O. Self is zoomed in a bit and you can read his lips - he's saying, "they think they've won". This is classic seeing his cheesy ass grin, saying this to his players, little did he know at the time he was right.

I think Self burning his second time out with one minute to go in the first half was a bad move. They were playing with scared money, playing not to lose and Self's burning through his timeouts was one sign of it.

[HockeyShock]

Self was panicking, starting at that second timeout. I can't stop watching the clip after the inbounds timeout was called by us. Self was losing his mind and you could see Marshall thinking, "I got you, Bill."

[ShockerFever]

We need a gif of Self going batshit crazy on the sideline. It's pretty ironic given KU fan's mantra about Marshall being a whiner.

The replay of the second half beat down is just starting now on CBS Sports Network

I think Self burning his second time out with one minute to go in the first half was a bad move. They were playing with scared money, playing not to lose and Self's burning through his timeouts was one sign of it.

His use of timeouts was unholy poor. AWFUL timeout with a minute to go and change (having burned his UIOLI TO) and then honestly BOTH TOs in the 2nd half BEFORE the under 16 were poor. He was burnt toast at that point. Yesterday, more than anything, was a coaching mismatch.

[Ta Town Shocker]

Here are a select few of my notes from yesterday.

The pep rally was top notch. Coach Marshall and Dave Dahl deserve an A+ for their speeches.


The "Eat Mor Chickin-Hawk" (Chick-fil-AThemed) written on the paper plates and held up by a couple WSU fans was too freaking hilarious.


FVV made a couple of passes in the second after the use of the ball screen that were extraordinary. He still amazes me every time I see him play.


Really wish they would have allowed us to bring in our "No One Can Hustle Like Wessel" sign as it would have been fitting. The young man played his heart out. Not allowing signs bigger than a piece of paper in the arena is silly.


I had absolutely no bad experiences at any point with either the KU or Creighton fanbases. Everyone around us was fairly quiet and very polite especially considering we were clapping, standing up, and yelling throughout the entire game.


Great turnout of WSU fans. It is an amazing feeling to be a part of Shocker Nation.


I have no way of putting into words how special the experience was. Having the opportunity to watch Coach Marshall and the entire WSU squad put on that type of performance is something I'll never forget!

[ShockerPrez]

Does anyone know if there is a link to listen to a replay of the game from the KU broadcast?

[KC Shox]

You've got to read this. Either this means that KU men like spending their rich Kansas City Mommy and Daddy's money or that they have no game whatsoever.
