Hopefully we can upset the ESPN apple cart and face Texas in the final.

Good deal, Pitt lost a lot from last year's team and we have a shot at this game.

Lets get as many people in there as we can and make the Sprint Center, "Koch Arena North"

This does definitely make sense. Hopefully our beloved Shockers show up ready to shock ESPN and the rest of the viewing audience with a big win over Pitt. And a chance to play Texas is pretty exciting. I'd love to see the Shox take them on and give some of the Texas kids a chance to play against their home state Horns.

That's assuming Texas can get by Iowa.

they should, to me Iowa is clearly the weakest of the 4 teams, they had about half their team transfer

Yes, but iowa is from a bcs conference and we poor mid majors can't hope to compete with the likes of them. :cry:

Good test for the young Shockers. They should be down a bit and we look to be much improved. I think we can pull off what would be considered an upset.

There is a long standing military rule that prevails to this day, "assumption is the mother of all F-ups" I'm cautiously optimistic but once the ball is tipped, it's anyone's ballgame.

Go Valley!!

Go Shocks!!!!

Pitt will be extremely young this yr.Blair,Fields,and Sam Young all leaders in scoring,rebounding,and assist for the past 2 seasons are gone.Believe it or not WSU will have more experience.

Here's the deal. We like recruiting the Texas area. This Pitt game is one we can win with our A game. Our 1,2,3 positions can match up with most teams we will play. It could come down to the match ups at the 4,5 positions and the depth players off the bench. Thus, it would be nice to draw Texas which would be a fun game for our Texas players, potential recruits, and the rest of us Shocker fans. I always enjoy playing any Big 12 team. Hannah drains a 3 at the buzzer for the win. Toure and Blair both score 14 points.

WSU--70

Pitt---68
