It didn't look malicious, but it definitely looked like he knew what he was doing. Sort of a "I'm going to kick you but not so hard it looks on purpose."

Does someone want to give a summary of the ending of this game? (Carmichael's foul and Wichita's winning shot)

Re: MVC Conference Games

Still don't think we're going to win the league, but this is a reasonably realistic way that that could happen

We go 3-0.
Wichita goes 1-2. Loss @ InSU, Win v. UE, Loss @ CU.
Creighton goes 2-1. Win v. SIU, Loss @ BU, Win v. WSU
Indy State goes 2-1. Win v. WSU, and a loss to either Drake (home) or @ UE

-WSU was down 7 with 41 seconds left (60-67)
-JC kicked a WSU player while rebounding the ball and was called for a flagrant one.
-WSU made both free throws and hit a 3 on their next possession to cut it to one (65-67)
-ISUred turned it over while inbounding.
-WSU hit a 3 on their next possession to go up one (68-67).
-JC missed a last second shot in the lane.

After the game WSU players and an assistant coach proceeded to taunt and engage in a shouting match with ISUred fans while walking to the locker room.

Re: MVC Conference Games

the shouting was clear as day on the tv. I literally asked my roommate, wtf is that coach doing? He was in the tunnel, looking up at a fan and yelling.

Re: MVC Conference Games

I have a feeling they were instigated. As much as we would like to believe that the douchbaggery and immature antics of WSU fans extends to their players and staff (not named Gregg), I just don't see it. Given the emotion coming from that crowd after the events that transpired its not too far fetched to believe that lines were crossed. Should the Shocker personnel have responded more appropriately? Probably. But we don't know what exactly happened so I will withhold judgement.

Re: MVC Conference Games

We only know what was captured on video, which was an assistant coach engaging in a shouting match with opposing fans after the game. On national television no less.

This is wrong regardless of the circumstances and reflects negatively on the entire program.

I don't disagree that it reflects negatively on them, but most people will have forgotten about the yelling by tomorrow or the next few days. I'm not passing judgement until I hear that the WSU party was telling the crowd that they would be seeing their mom's back at the hotel and began actively instigating a confrontation. If that was the case don't you think we would have heard about this in a couple other close and highly contested games that the Shox have played in recently? You'd think a similar issue would've appeared at one point

Re: MVC Conference Games

I sit right behind the opposing teams bench. That same coach was yelling back at Jake when hie was talking to the refs. He is a classless arse. Fits with whole WSU culture.

that makes it look really bad, don't forget all that kick did was give ISU red the ball, sure, they got free throws, but so did ISU red, both made...

complete and utter meltdown of epic proportions in ISU red's part. I was kicking and screaming in my living room like a child maybe the way I would have if it was UNI that collapsed like that.

The worst part of all of it was the three pointer that put WSU within two, worst defense I have ever seen...

Re: MVC Conference Games

Hall got done shaking hands and immediately started waving his arms and egging on the crowd (who were booing the refs / situation very loudly at that point). What a db. I don't care what they call you or say, you shake hands and head to the locker room. ESPECIALLY a coach. But that's why they are WSU and no body likes or respects them in the league.

Was it Chris Jans?

Was it Chris Jans?

Yes, it was.

The entire WSU program has been an embarrassment with the way that they have acted during the Gregggg Marshall era.

Its pretty remarkable to see behavior like that from a coaching staff, but it is completely and utterly unremarkable when you see who it came from. That whole program has taken on the personality of its coach, which is to say, a giant douche.

[BCPanther]

Re: MVC Conference Games

Chris Jans has the ability to be a head coach, but his temperament will never allow it.

Plus, I am not sure his recruiting is exactly on the up and up...

Re: MVC Conference Games

FWIW, I heard a rumor that ISUred fans were throwing coins at WSU players. Who knows who started what, but it also sounds like coaches from both teams were getting into it, per the Wichita Eagle...

Temper, temper

Several witnesses said coaches from both teams exchanged words in the hallway outside the locker rooms after the game, sending security guards scurrying.

WSU coach Gregg Marshall declined to comment on the specifics. He did discuss the matter with Illinois State athletic director Gary Friedman. A security guard followed him and his players while they walked around the arena until they exited.

“I’m not going to talk about that,” Marshall said. “That was crazy. It was uncalled for, I’ll just put it that way.”
