Sean Miller's shirt ABSOLUTELY wants nothing to do with WSU.

never gets old!:)

I have little doubt that we will be matched up wth gonzaga. The more I think about it, the more sure I get. Remember, the goal is to get mid majors out of the tournament, so...

And if Illinois State gets in, how much does anybody wanna bet me that they get St Mary's

Or by putting Mid-Major teams together, they guarantee that one advances.

Depends on your perspective.

Hey there Shox fans,

Just wanted to say congrats on another awesome season! Very glad and proud to finally join you guys at the top of the Valley. IMHO both our teams deserve it, we raced out early in the conference and held on, only beating on each other (especially that destruction you guys gave us at the Roundhouse.)

Arch Madness will be crazy competitive as usual. Head to head, beyond the W-L record, while our numbers look a little better to the naked eye, you have no bad losses and a few "name" wins where we have at least two of the former and only a couple of the latter. Plus with you guys being ranked, when it comes to at-large chances I think you guys have the in-road over us.

Therefore I am really hoping for the best case scenario for the Valley getting two teams in, which seems to be our teams squaring off on Sunday, with us winning. We get the auto, and the at-large goes to you. I think if that's the Sunday result, we both get in. Let's just do what we can to make that happen!

Great season again! Best of luck moving forward, hope we can meetup in a hell of a battle on Sunday, and best of luck to you guys in the postseason!

Thanks for dropping by, Phantom. Likewise, congrats to your Birds! I am certainly hoping to meet on Sunday. Should it happen, I hope both teams will be playing for tournament seeding rather than a berth. Best of luck the rest of the way— unless you play us, of course ;)

If WSU and Calipari are in the same regional, you may hear it from him, especially if it leads to a premature matchup. Sean Miller probably doesn't want to the see the Shocks anytime soon, either.

If he does, he'll be packing plenty of extra shirts!

Wichita State
BPI - 16
Sagarin -13
Nolan Power Index - 5
Massey Ratings - 21

Even though I'm not a fan of ISUr, ISUr fans certainly deserve a congratulations and have reason to be proud of this season. ISUr is a weird case to me because I don't think they're one of the best 36 at-large teams but I think their resume is one of the 36 best and I think they deserve to be dancing. You replay this conference season again and I think ISUr goes 17-1 maybe 1 out of 50 times but the one time happened and you can't take that away from them. I'm not gonna lose any sleep if ISUr's name isn't called on Selection Sunday but they certainly deserve it and it will be a shame if the committee does not give them the chance. I always appreciate reading Phantom's and GORL's classy posts and I commend you guys for continuing to stop by ShockerNet with all the venom being spewed. I certainly wouldn't have the patience. Good luck in St. Louis even though I will be at every game cheering against the Birds.

NFW..............Serious?

but, of course. he's such a douche, i expected him to say wichita last four in.. and you just knew he would mention wichita state.. but he said "wichita" last four out. maybe he watched the espn "highlights" of the zach brown rim rejection.
