NCAA Tournament - Wichita State vs. Arizona Official Game Thread

[Blackmag]

What can you say about this team that hasn't been said. Could be our best defensive team in the Marshall era. Who would have thought that we would hold a team who averages 80 plus a game to 55. These guys just refuse to quit, and with Fred and Ron leading the way it's just a joy to watch. Going to miss our fantastic duo, I just hope we can keep winning and prolong it as long as possible. Love listening to the pundits scramble as they eat crow and give some credit where it's due. Conner came in and hit some 3's giving us 10 off the bench as does Mcduffie. The future is not as bleak as the pundits will surely try to make it. Great game can't wait till Saturday.

And this is an 11 seed! This committee had no clue.

[ShockerPrez]

Exactly. Thank God we don't have to travel tonight. That's a bunch of BS scheduling first four games two days before the first round, in another state.

What's bullshit is us being an 11 seed.

BTW. We are the first team to play in the first 4 on a Tuesday to win their Thursday game.

The others have all been Wednesday/Friday winners

The second and third lowest scores of the tournament belong to Vanderbilt and Arizona. Common denominator?

Off nights?

From the reddit postgame thread

"Official proposal to nickname Wichita's defensive system "Dracula" because it is dressed in black, is scary as ****, and will suck all the goodness out of your life."

That's the danger. They were seeded to their season not their talent. Committee can't project. Maybe best 11 ever.

Coincidental off nights and bad officials probably. Same common denominator for every team we play.

Sleep well Shocker fans. Good effort tonight!!!
Give those vocal chords a rest. Get new ice on the beer. Now focus on Miami Saturday!!!

We will sleep like a baby--but right now--wound up tighter than a base drum and shant sleep yet!!!!!!!!!!! Shocks aren't bad for a 11 seed, hey?

So now, we are the first game...

That makes sense.

Talk about a stacked deck.

Yet another very nice team win and I mean TEAM. Just love to watch these guys play D.
FVV and Bake still not hitting on all cylinders but playing much better than St. Louis. They
always play great defense. I'd sure like to see us play one game with three point shooting
north of forty..........maybe Saturday. Miami is good. Hope we can get our batteries fully
charged as they sure were used up tonight on defense. Got to plug RN again. That foul on
the block was BS and so was the double dribble call. RK and ZB don't give us much on
offense but played good on the other end. BW had good minutes too.

Same here. Still running on adrenaline.

Seriously?

Yup 1210 Eastern .... Don't know how that makes sense. Both teams were the two late games.
