MVC Tourney - WSU vs UNI Game Thread

[SHOCKvalue]

we will get in as a nine seed.

See, I'm hoping the ****-covered silver lining here is that this hopefully gets us off the 8/9.

northern iowa is trending on twitter... that tells you how bad it is for the shockers now.
That big of an upset.

These freshman/sophomores better get the feeling in their gut what losing is like and not let it happen in the future.

[Rosewood]

still lots of time

Yeah. It's called the off season.

The Valley is NOT a power conference.

Did he say that Valley was a P5 conference? I must have missed that in his post.

[SHOCKvalue]

I don't know why I come to STL every year. We all know how it's ends every time.

That's exactly why I don't go.

[Aargh]

Washpun is a lot quicker than FVV. He was beating FVV on both ends of the court.

[Rosewood]

**** I'm pissed. Bone headed play. Missed free throws when it was time to put it away. Dumb stuff.

[HenryMuto]

Man. I know many are confident we make it in anyway. I am just not sure right now. Nothing that can be done now though....disappointing

You are in your non conf SOS is going to be what puts you in. Right now I am going to spitball a 10 seed. We will see how everything shakes out from here until Selection Sunday.

The only problem could be if a ton of upsets happen for bid stealing. Root for the mid majors on the bubble to win their tournaments that have at large potential and no funny business in the A-10 and other conferences.

In past years we have had underclassmen step up and hit some big shots. These players were junior and senior season standouts. So far only Brown has shown flashes but nothing game winning and McDuffie has shown streaks of brilliance but again nothing off the top of my head when the game is/was on the line. It worries me that we haven't really had that this season. I still believe Frankamp has it in him but he hasn't either.

As it stands right now, I say at times we look like the 3rd best team next season.

Lets hope Jamar & Henry is right and Jerry Palm is eating crow.

Right now all lot of you look ridiculous with this meltdown. Coming down on Fred and Coach after the job they have done here; don't be so self-righteous.
We did NOT shoot well period; it happens. Sometimes at the worst possible times.
I think we do deserve a bid still - the Valley isn't as bad as most think. UNI, Evansville, Ill St. can compete with many, many P5 teams, especially the ones in the BIG 12 that is deemed so powerful.

We have had a rough season with injuries at what-not; the chemistry never really got going. Many key players are underclassmen.

IMO, the guys have not been having fun lately; trying to hard to win it for Ron & Fred.

Haven't seen too many smiles.

There is no need to rip on any players or coach.

Keep your heads up and Shockernetters don't be the meltdown board that you are always mocking.

Dont overreact. No one is bashing coach or players. But everyone has a right to express their concerns or frustrations. When coach and the players do well, they deserve all the praise. When they dont, they deserve the criticism. They are big boys. Relax

Tough loss that is hard to swallow. 2-24 on 3's and we lose 57-52 in OT. Thought we could keep going inside the way we started the game but our bigs kept making too many fouls as UNI made 13 more throws than we did. Washpun played well and UNI played some tough D.

[SHOCKvalue]

UNI will win tomorrow, no doubt. They're the clear next best team in the Valley when they're on.

Shaq was big time yesterday with the game on the line.

How in the hell does a team win the conference by four games while blowing out the final five opponents, and then go to the conference tournament, and look so absolutely pitiful?

[mjbaker84]

Even worse... my boss is a UNI graduate... ugh!
