Hahaha reading the LSU board is just great. The vast majority of their fans seem to realize WSU is a good team and they have no shot at getting Marshall. Nice to read P5 fans giving WSU props and being realistic about trying to take out coach.

Side note: I laughed out loud at the post about checking Frankcamps birth certificate. In all honestly, between Frankcamp and Shamet we may have the most unattractive backcourt lol.

Throw in AK and the three off them could be confused as HS underclassmen.

Don't tell them it's broke, they'll get rid of it entirely!

Here's Statbroadcast's "final."

This is what jumped off the stat sheet for me. We outrebounded a very tall team by 12. I like that!!!

This was one of my favorite game threads to read. Just as entertaining as the game itself. I can't help but want to predict a 20 point win against Louisville.

And remember. We have this exact same team again next year, with two fun additions.

Tigerdroppings is really funny!

We only trail by 20. How is the deficit only 20? It's a miracle.

Only chance LSU has to to get every Shocker player to foul out.

If Wichita State fouled everyone out, we'd still lose jacking up pull up 3s for no reason without moving the ball at all.

I think We look good. Just need to make more threes.

Feel bad for them. They manage to have enough interest forn20 pages of game thread. Plenty of history too. One would think that would be a successful program.

Yet we have only lost to them in 1984 in the Elite 8 game in New Orleans. We beat them in 2010 in Louisiana, and a couple of years earlier in Wichita so I think that we are 3-1.

Looking at the Louisville forum they have at least two threads on having to play us only 15 hours after their game tonight and we get 24hrs rest.

And my favorite comment:
Marshall must be holding out for a really good gig.

There are certainly many things to like about this Shocker team but there was one segment in the LSU game the really caught my eye and tells you a lot about this Shocker team.

At the 13:30 mark of the 2nd half LSU had pulled to within 22 at 51-29 and the Shockers weere scuttling a bit. I thought Markis maybe had forced a couple of Shots and LSU had finished off one of their better stretches, albeit a short one, in the game.

At the 12:20 mark the Shocks where up by 30 at 59-29. That mini-run was lead by Daishon, Rauno and Austin. Daishon drove the baseline and kicked out to Rauno on the right wing who immediatley passed to a wide open Austin at the top of the key for a 3. On the ensuing LSU possession Rauno forced a jump ball after Reath pulled down an offensive rebound by basically just engulfing the ball while in Reath's hands. Possession to the Shockers. Then Rauno knocks down a 3. LSU missed a couple of shots on their next possession and Daishon hits his great runner over the 6-10 Reath and the Shocks were up by 30. That was the put it in the deep freeze moment for me. Love the depth we are seeing this year, love the unselfishness and love the way any of the kids are willing to step up and make something happen.

LSU beat us in the E8 game in 1981. We beat them on their home court the next year on national television.

We have played them 4 times in the Marshall era. Won alk those games. We are at least 5-1

A $427,000 salary isn't paying for anything too swanky in NYC.

Ron being in the room is what makes it swanky.
