Tough draw. If Kentucky doesn't beat WSU, I suspect Louisville will.

Keep doing work. That's the name of the game. Do work - one opponent at a time. GO SHOX!

WSU, KU, KSU all converge in St. Louis. Is that pretty bizarre or what?

Yes, if the Shockers make it through that bracket, there should be no detractors left. They might get another shot at Louisville, after having the lead by 9 points last year. We shall see and it will be fun.

Looks like the Shox will play Memphis in the ESPN tip off marathon next year in South Dakota of all places

+1 and +1 again for Antoine and X.

Nothing to be ashamed of, our boys played their tails off yesterday. That was honesty the best game I have ever seen in person. Unfortunately we got the play the preseason #1 Kentucky. Honestly I think Kentucky would have beat any team the country yesterday. We will have to replace Early, but we got Cotton, Baker, and FVV coming back along with a great recruiting class. I would think we will be in the preseason top 20 next season. Also watch out for my guy Shaq Morris, he gonna surprise some people next year.

Absolutely.

I watched the UK KSU game and thought WSU had it made in the shade. The UK team WSU faced was far far different than the one KSU faced. If they play like that from here on out they will be tough to beat.

Either way, great season from WSU. It's tough to end it in the round of 32, but at least least WSU lost to a good team while playing well. I'll take that over coming out cold and playing like shit and losing to a junk team in the round of 32.

Crazy to think UK had to play a near flawless game to beat WSU.

Losing Anthony will hurt a lot and hopefully Shaq Morris' red shirting will allow him to beast it up - their front court will need it.

Always disappointing to lose. Great season, great kids and wonderful coaching. Once the sting wears off I will remember this past season fondly. Go Shox!

Lots of size coming in next year. Backcourt is intact.

Yup. I was excited about the Morris signing. He's a big kid and had an entire year to learn from CJ, Coleby, and Carter.

I think his big body would have helped yesterday -- especially in the second half.

7' kid from Juco ranks as well.

Gotta admit -- Marshall has recruited some pretty solid ball players from the JUCo ranks. Maybe this kid is another diamond in the rough.
