Wichita-ISU

[real fan]

I said at the start of the tour. ISU has the size and talent to win, trying to figure out what Marshall was complaining about as far as yesterdays game as I thought the officials did a good job, I do agree that previously Wichita was robbed back on the Woodfox shot but not yesterday.
The first 10 minutes of todays game should indicate if ISU can stay with Creighton in todays game as offensively Creighton is tougher to defend.

As he did against Taylor Brown, Wilkins spent literally the entire game trying to bait Stutz into making mental mistakes and fighting him.

Wilkins might have gotten himself DQd with that garbage but he also did succeed in getting Stutz 4 fouls and taking him out of the guts of the game. Losing Stutz for that stretch was much worse than losing Wilkins.

He is a punk and I'm glad he's not at BU.

To be fair, the bubble was a lot stronger in the other years. 2006 was the strongest bubble ever, IMO.

As for the posts about ISU and the NIT, just no. No. That committee is crooked. Straight-up crooked. They'll believe ISU is our strongest candidate, and they will not take a team with that kind of resume. They won't. I would bet copious amounts of money on it.

That, and if ISU puts some money "under the table" for the NIT, why stop there? I would think the NCAA Tournament would be their ultimate goal.

Alright, so maybe no money under the table but I think WSU threw this game. They already have a decent seed locked up, no use in playing hard and taking the chance of player injuries for the real prize on the line. I think WSU takes this by 10+ points easily if they had played each other in the 1st game of the tourney. This happens many times in other BCS conference tourneys every season.

Wilkins is from France and French is his first language. The double T between Stutz and him got him thrown out the game. (It was Wilkins second T) People are suggesting that he trash talk in French - they can't T you up for doing that!

Yeah, but their seed might have taken a slight hit. I did not agree with someone on ESPN.com yesterday saying they will take a significant hit in their seeding based on their loss yesterday. That's just outrageous for someone to say that. If one loss in a conference tourney affects seeding that much, then the whole system needs to be torn apart and rebuilt! That said though, I hope WSU did not throw the game just to rest themselves for the tournament as they have 10 days to do so anyway. Just because Bob Knight hated these conference tourneys doesn't mean most other coaches do.

Talked with Gregg and his family last night; they were in it to win it.

They can if the ref speaks French.
