Wichita State:
The Shockers stunned this field by playing with as much spirit and determination as anyone here.
Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall has the Shockers playing the way he wants, with passion on every possession. Marshall said he's starting from the ground up, but his energy is clearly rubbing off on the players.
The Shockers were shaky early but then were in step with the Hoyas for the final 30-plus minutes. Wichita State was right there to win the game, despite shooting 27.9 percent overall, 26.3 percent on 3s. The Shockers made some key buckets when needed, from players like David Kyles or Ramon Clemente, but weren't able to keep Georgetown off the free-throw line.
Marshall made an interesting move when he went from Winthrop to Wichita State. He had South Florida, once was the head coach at College of Charleston before going back, and maybe never was going to be the head coach at South Carolina. But that's OK. You could make the point that Marshall is in a much better situation with a salary that pays him over $800,000, a seven-year contract, and a chance to climb higher in the Missouri Valley than he likely would have if he had been in the SEC East. There is no guarantee that Marshall would have, could have, maybe even should have, gotten the South Carolina job after Dave Odom. That's moot. He's happy at Wichita and sees the Shockers, especially behind players like freshmen Toure' Murry and Garrett Stutz, helping him move the program up quickly.
