  • NCAA Tournament - Wichita State

    I may be in the minority here, but I think this game is a real problem for WSU, and I like Indiana +6 a ton.

    I will be back to eat crow later.

    WSU will beat them going away...Shockers by 11.
    Give us a yell, HO! The purple and the gold
    Victory for U-N-I!

    Find out what the other team wants to do, then take it away from them.

          I've heard analysts describe IU as being guard heavy on talent, with one or two of them being legit NBA prospects. If so, that probably neutralizes an advantage the Shox normally possess. Sounds like the key will be which teams' somewhat weak frontline steps up. Not sure if I totally buy off on all that, since if IU had a legit NBA guy they would've been better in the B1G. We all know Baker is legit from our own experience.

          That said, IU +6 is probably a good play. Sounds like this will be a real close game. Go Shox, do the MVC proud!

                Hopefully the Shox don't look ahead to Kansas.

                    I was thinking the same thing, but they're playing a traditional power from a big time power conference. It's a little different than playing Hampton or Wofford.

                      Yeah I don't think looking ahead will be a problem for them with their first round game.

                        I always worry about the mindset of a team like Indiana that thinks so highly of itself, no matter what happened during the rest of the season. They always have the talent to pull off a first round tournament win. Hopefully, the Shockers will take care of business. I would expect them to have a great crowd in Omaha which should help them a bunch.

                          After yesterday, I don't think anyone is looking past the next game.

                          Days like yesterday is what makes March Madness great and in part why so many people who might not watch a single game all season are watching in March.

                            I hope the desire to play KU makes the Shockers beat whoever they are playing by 50. Make KU dread having to meet them . . . finally.
