The 2017 Shocker Melt Down Thread

[The 'hut]

I though about this after the MVC tournament. Off season for these guys. First of all, I am so freakin proud of these guys. After the game I walked into a crowd of beakers, knowing they were 1. damn glad we weren't in their region, and 2. there is NO WAY IN HELL they want a part of us next year.

1. Zach Brown- Keep up the extra shooting and have 2 managers pummel you with blocking pads as you work on your drive.
2. Conner F.- Enjoy being the man. When you were "the Man" in high school you were at your best. Keep that thought. We are better if the the opponents fear you.
3. Landry- Man Crush- I don't need to tell you, because I'm sure you know, and if not, your mom does.
4. Austin- Eat! Eat! Eat!. It's not on KR's diet, but I'm telling you Popeye's and Bud heavy will increase your girth!
5. Shaq- How about you and I run a 10K together the first of August?
6. MM- Ballet so you keep your feet and join Austin eating. I just hate to see you on the floor so much.
7. Daishon- Dude! relax! Watch some old FVV tapes focusing on getting the team into good sets, driving under control, and playing D even without your athleticism.
8. RK- You are easy. 3 step drives and shooting 10 footers. Junk yard dog BABY!
9. Darrel- Spend you summer guarding Shaq and Rauno on the block...while wearing a boxing glove on your left hand. As a matter of fact, put that glove on in June, and you can take it off in August.
10. Rauno- Dude..Just keep working. You have grown every year and just keep doing that.

Damn. Love these guys. I am just a middle aged man gets great enjoyment watching them play.

This season was pretty much playing with "House Money". Going into this season they lost 2 NBA players, plus a couple other significant contributors. If anybody was going to get to them it was this year - this would be the year. You know there was whispers, there was hope from the other MVC schools, but it didn't happen.

MVC Champions
NCAA Bid (6th in row, tied for best in the MVC history, has real shot to push this at least to 8 or 9)
NCAA win in Tournament (over higher seeded team)

How demoralizing does it have to be for the MVC teams when they see a WSU team that just took the No. 5 team down to the last minute for a chance to move to the Swee16 and realize that this TEAM will be back next year. They will be more mature, stronger and more experienced. Hell, the MVC might pay WSU to leave the conference.

I may go on a personal mission to get rid of thr pod system for the NCAA tournament. What fairness is there when higher seeds to have virtual home games? Tickets will sell dispite the location. NCAA will get their money. The higher seeds are alreadyrewarded with the higher seed...do we also need to make it eaiser for them to advance?

Now you know how KU gets to so many sweet 16s. Next week they will travel all the way to KC.

I hope Willis feels like an idiot. Shut up and play next year.

“If people aren’t going to respect us, I think — as a team — we just kind of have to take it personally, honestly,” said UK senior Derek Willis. “I definitely took it that way. It kind of sets you off.”
Our team definitely needs to shut up and play.
