We only made the list once, but another team North of us, made it twice. Actually, we didn't make the list, we caused someone to make the list.

What sweet memories all...

I don't get how that's considered a "choke job". They were a good team, and we were a team loaded with talent that was as healthy as it had been since the first nine games of that year (we were still missing our best three point shooter that year), and we were playing the best basketball we had played all year.

Then again, they're probably the same people who would say Gonzaga choked against us, even though it took an incredible offensive outburst to top the Zags. If they hadn't run into us, they were a Final Four team, if not more. That team will never get the respect they deserved

There is a difference to the "Biggest Upsets" and the "Biggest Choke Jobs". WSU beating Ohio St from the beginning to the end is neither.

Perhaps they should consider this year's Virginia/Syracuse game. That was a choke job.

Yes, that list was garbage. Ohio St. was a bigger choke job than Kansas against VCU? Get real.

University of Kentucky Basketball Coach John Calipari mentions how Wichita State got screwed with their seeding this year. Begins at the two minute mark.

I think you will see a few changes to the method of team selections with at least more information being share regarding teams prior to NCAA Selection day.

Weren't we ranked in one of the polls going into the last week of the season? And very high in the other one?

I used to hate Cal.... for some reason, I really like him now. He is who he is, and I appreciate that.

Weren't we a victim of that '87 DePaul team in the 1st round? And to Mason in the Sweet 16 in 2006.

We lost to DePaul in 88.

We lost to St. Johns in 87. Oh if only Sasha's reach had been just a little longer.

That's what she said.
