If they don't play zone I like our chances even better. Marshall's teams do well in the tournament because it is almost impossible to prepare for all the sets...Etc that Marshall's teams run. Defenses are left guessing a lot. Plus, our guards will have a heyday feeding the post."He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said.

Yeah, that sucked.Originally posted by nwflyer View Post
It was also the last time our program didn't win at least its first game in the tournament, even though we've been in the tournament every year since then. Since 2006, we're 5-1 in opening round games.
EDIT: And WSU (fans and team) were most certainly not over-looking VCU that year. Well all knew that our 5 seed was rewarded with an opponent that was actually multiple seed lines higher than where they were placed. That year WSU opened up Koch Arena for a public Selection Sunday watch party, and there was a collective cheer followed immediately by a collective groan, when they announced the 5 seed, then the 12 seed, respectively.Last edited by SHOCKvalue; March 14, 2017, 04:43 PM.Comment

They have a private (meaning non-commercial) forum too. Goes by udpride.com. If you're on mobile though you'll want to peruse it via the desktop version, because the mobile version rivals Missouri's tigerboard in terrible-ness.Originally posted by Metalkatz View PostComment

Interesting, considering all 32 predictions on your prediction thread all have Dayton prevailing, with a few of them by around 20.Originally posted by nwflyer View PostDeuces Valley.

That was a fun read. "Our warmup was terrific, we're gonna stomp them" to "we will make a run soon," to "can't get a rebound, and we suck."Originally posted by WuDrWu View PostComment
