The Shocker radio guys were pitching a fit at the end. SWORE there was a hard foul on the WSU player's shot.

No way. Barely a brush.

BEST crowd in the history of the McLeod. They were a factor in every possesion tonight, and we would not have won without them.

That was a great great, loud crowd.

And I'd wager that the pep crew had some contribution to that.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Great game! Great crowd! And most important, GREAT WIN!!!! The house was rocking tonight and I am spent!!

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Was absolutely amazing inside the McLeod Center tonight! Also I do not think that WSU should complain about the foul situation because we were called for some really ticky tac fouls and also we got pounded a few times and nothing got called so I guess it just all evens out in the end

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Very glad to hear that the atmosphere was great at the game! Watching it online it did not appear to be as crazy as you guys are saying it was!!!! I wish I could have been there.

GO PANTHERS!

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Best atmosphere in the McLeod so far. Actually stood for more than just the opening points of each half. I think the crowd definitely had a major impact on the result as you could see WSU get flustered a few times in the game when the crowd got really loud. Of course, Murray also didn't give a sh!t a few times by firing incredible daggers from anywhere. Bottom line, we won a HUGE game.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Best crowd in the McLeod ever...

Great game, very physical game the refs let a lot go but called a lot...very one sided when they were calling the fouls though


3 game lead is huge...I can't wait for Saturday.

Dear Students, please don't let my changing opinion of the Gold out down. Your pep leaders won me over tonight...some...I don't want to be let down I think a Purple Crowd with Gold students might be kick ass.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

I don't have a problem with him shooting in general. It's just the tendancy he sometimes has to take ill-advised / low-percentage shots.

Listened to the post game and Jake calls those "clear out" plays for Kwadzo many many times during the game. Pretty much had them called for most of the game tonight by the sounds of it. They are designed to force the defense to either take Kwazo (which will allow him to dish), or fall back a bit which will allow him to drive and shoot. They decided to make Kwadzo shoot it tonight. He wasn't off by much in the first half and I thought took some good shots on good looks. The problem I had tonight from people around me was that every shot that Kwadzo took and missed was a "terrible shot" and every shot he took and made resulted in "now that was a good shot". Sometimes they go in and sometimes they don't...doesn't really affect the quality of the shot.

Now don't you feel better? Takes years off the life to . Just a little victory ribbing for ya, man.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Like Sheik said, the "terrible shots" by KA in the 1st half were all a called play by Jake. Several times in a row he tried to take advantage of the match up vs #5 Williams. Thank god he got hot!

Great night! My favorite was definitely the dive on the floor TO by Ali.

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Oh...you know what else was awesome tonight was that we didn't have to watch that steady trickle of fans head out of the arena with 75 seconds left in the game. It actually looked like people stayed to see the Panthers win!! I never understood people that will have 2 and half hours invested in a game only to leave in the final 2 minutes...and many times the outcome is still in doubt. Do these people walk out of a movie theater with 2 minutes left in the movie just to be sure to beat the crowd too?
Anyway, looked like pretty much all stayed tonight...so kudos!!

I think alot of them people just go to the top and watch the rest of the game they do not leave they just stand up top so they can beat the crowd

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

One of my favorite plays was Mark Sonnen's hustle down the floor to knock the ball out of the Wichita St. player's hand to deny the lay-up.
