Wichita State Shockers a virtual lock for the title game
... and it is inevitable really now that they have been blessed by a visit from Tim Tebow.

I know some will inevitably rip on him for trying to be like somebody important, but I don't think that is the case. Props to Tebow for doing that. I think he's a good guy.

I'd be okay with that since it would mean KU made it to the National Championship game.

I had heard the old KU won’t play WSU ever again thing a few times so I looked around to see what I could find. I make no claim as to the validity of this as it is just a post on another site but this is what was said.
" As I remember it there were really four issues: 1) When KU and WSU negotiated the deal KU was given a large number of tickets to the game that the they could sell. They of course sold the crap out of them to Wichita fans who normally don't get to see a KU game. Then when it came time to deliver WSU said they only had like 1/4 the tickets they'd promised available. KU had to call up a couple thousand fans last minute and tell them they did not actually have tickets they'd already purchased. 2) When KU showed up for the game they were told the visitors locker room was unavailable due to renovations. They had to change in an alcove off the hallway or something. This of course meant that after the game they did not get showers and had to ride back to Lawrence unshowered. 3) During the game the crowd got really out of control (mostly students I'm assuming). They were throwing things onto the floor and pelting the players on the bench with coins. KU called a timeout just to try and get the refs to do something about the crowd (which apparently didn't happen). I believe one of the KU bench players actually had blood drawn by something that hit him in the head. 4) Late in the game with KU up 30 there were several incidents with WSU players and hard fouls, etc that Roy didn't feel like were being addresses by the refs. Now #4 may well have just been Roy being the crybaby that Roy was (although that was mostly later) but the others really did sound out of control. #3 was the thing that made the news but I'm sure #1 was the real issue as far as the administration was concerned. #2 was just an a-hole move all around." Now Bill Self says there is nothing in it for KU to play them. They schedule non con games as often as they can at the Field house because that is where me make money. Sounds like a logical answer. |

and if WSU won they would be the lowest seed since KU to win the whole thing.

WSU actually has a decent shot at being the last Kansas team standing. lol

College basketball is so tough to predict these days. I really don't follow it very closely, but there are a ton of good players out there.

I read the thread title and figured that CoMo must've picked against them.
Same thing, really.

Yeah, how outrageous. He asked to say congrats to a team that probably was excited to hear him say it.
