Today's Games
-
@BShark Their resume was no better than Seton Hall’s imo. Got pumped up by the media. Defense was putrid all season long. Bit them in the ass today.
-
Forget about the 12-v-5 upsets…this year it’s all about the 13s.
Charleston over Auburn, anyone?
-
I used to cheer for the shocks but their fan bases arrogance rivals KSUs. Have a couple of good years and think you’re a national power. GTFO! They are finding out, when you don’t play in a typewriter maintenance league, you can rest starters for 10 minutes the last 2 months of the year.

And its harder to be the hunted than to be the underdog. Now that everyone talks about them, the pressure is on them to perform. A little dose of reality is all. This is the sort of thing the blue bloods have to deal with every game.
-
@kjayhawks I find their fan base much more obnoxious than KSU. Many KSU fans I know are quite realistic about Bruce and their program at this point.
-
@BShark speaking more towards KSU football. Claim to be a national power and have had a decade of domination, even tho you won one conference title in that decade (2012 came later), while 2 other conference foes won multiple and some NCs.
-
Gregg Marshall should’ve taken the big-money coaching offer(s) while he had the chance. That loss could cost him a million or two when he moves on to his next gig.
-
@kjayhawks Yeah they are pretty delusional about football especially their older fans.
-
@nwhawkfan He is perfect for Wichita why would he ever leave?
-
Just keep cashing them Koch checks imo.
-
@BShark Ya, my question always is who did they dominate? Being statically the 4th best team in a conference over a decade isn’t celebrated anywhere but Manhattan, KS. I’ve been giving my KSU buddies trash about after finishing 4th in B.B. this season it will be no time before they are playing on Bruce Weber “squeak court”.
-
@BShark Gregg Marshall @ WSU = Mark Few @ Gonzaga.
Given that they’re both coaches in similar situations (i.e., big fish in a small pond), wonder who leaves first?
-
Forgive me if this has already been mentioned - Does anyone else remember the last time two #13 seeds advanced in the First Round? Hmmm - believe it was 2008. Oh - the Final Four is in San Antonio this year, correct? Wasn’t it also in San Antonio in 2008? Hmmm. Seems like something else significant happened in 2008…
-
@nwhawkfan Marshall will never leave WSU. Any A.D. with basketball knowledge knows he’s all smoke and mirrors.
-
@nuleafjhawk Still, there’s gotta be a school out there with a big budget that’s willing to spend beaucoup bucks so they can make a splash with a big-name coach.
(see: Charlie Weis)
-
@nwhawkfan I’ve ALWAYS seen Marshall as a charlatan. He puts together enough wins against nobody teams in weak leagues and sprinkles in 1 or 2 upsets per year against teams that are short on depth or have injured players and the media thinks he’s the next Bill Self, John Wooden, Roy Williams, Dean Smith, Bob Knight, (Fill in the blank with your favorite Hall of Fame Coach).
He’s not.
He’s the wizard of oz. PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
-
I looked long and hard at the Marshall / WSU matchup and on my three brackets, I picked WSU all three times. I did not see it coming. Also didn’t anticipate a Buffalo win, let alone a blow-out.
-
@bskeet I didn’t pick WSU far in any bracket but yes the Arizona upset killed a few of mybrackets. The South is the weakest bracket IMO and I picked them to the FF because of their talent and how they were playing the last few weeks. An upset is one thing but that was the most lopped side I remember a 4-13 game that a 13 won.
-
Assuming WVU wins it will be an all West Virginia matchup Sunday. I always like it when that happens except the last time there was an all Kansas NCAA tournament matchup of course.
-
-
@nwhawkfan Mark Few is better than Marsha, Few has won 19 of the last 22 conference regular season titles, Marsha has 3 in 11 years at WSU, not in the same ball park IMO.
-
Wichita St. Why do I enjoy them losing? Why does a team that I used to love make me want to wish losses on them all the time? Why does the shiny dome, that grosteque, monsterous forehead that at times appears to stick out a full 8 inches, seem to visualize the Shlocker program for me. That’s the Mona Lisa for me… MASSIVE FOREHEAD = SHLOCKERS. I hate punks and coaches that are punks.
-
Looks like WV is holding against Murray St - both literally on almost every possession and being up 14 with under 4 minutes left
-
Free throws are kind of an important part of the game…
-
Great end of game gameplan…or not
-
What kind of inbound play was that Shaka?!!
-
Looks like OT, but Bamba fouled out

No one accused Shaka of being a great coach. :p
-
Boy Texas and OU gave away games at the line.
-
Wow. What a long, slow, painful journey to defeat by Texas…
-
I know I should be rooting for B12 teams, but sometimes they are just so unlikeable.
-
Also, Eric Musselman’s wife… I can see why she got so much camera time.
-
BRUUUUCE
-
Do you see any KState fans at the game? Good grief, the entire section behind the KState bench is empty. Creighton has a lot of fans.
-
I had Rhode Island over OU, Marshall over WSU and Nevada over UT. But AZ only to the Elite Eight.
-
@BShark The “play” he called at the end of regulation was just awful…
-

Bruce gonna get another tournament win tho.
-
Sometimes I forget that Bruce can coach. Especially if you give him a week to gameplan. Absolutely just outcoached McD today.
-
Charleston with key free throw misses
-
Wow Charleston really coughed up a lot of chances to win. Auburn very very fortunate to win.
-
@HawkChamp When the brackets came out I mentioned to some friends that SHU scares me way more than Auburn. Which probably means that KU beats SHU and loses to Auburn but heh…
-
And the ref misses a game changing call at the end. What’s new?
-
@HighEliteMajor I would say the refs played a major hand missing that foul on the 3 and with how many Fts auburn shot, but Charleston missed so many free ones down the stretch it killed them I think they went 3 for 9 in last 2 minutes.
-
Thanks to the Sooners and the Horns for representing the B12
If the Toads dont play they will be the next victims
-
Wow Virginia is down 7 early in the second to UMBC

Would not be disappointed to see uva go down

omgomgomgogmasogmrogmawgmo24G$@m
-
After Higgins last yr, theres gonna be a lot of lynch mobs. Refs make bad calls or miss calls, but teams cant let games come down to those calls.
-
UMBC looking good…might stun the cavs
