Shockers looking awful

[BradleyJD]

There is still plenty of time in the 2nd half, but Wichita looks like they are going to get run off the floor.

Awful shooting, inexcusable turnovers and decisions.

I hope they can turn this around.

WSU can't handle VCU's pressure defense.

The thing is, it's not just the full court pressure. Even on the half court, WSU continues to pick up the dribble and get trapped or doubled.

Not anymore! WSU up briefly 59-57 but VCU now up 1.

[Bravesfan]

Another missed bunny by the Shockers. Now they need a stop big time!

Stutz might as well have stayed home.

Stupid fouls and missed layups!

Oh brother.....

Down 1....time running out

Are you kidding me?! Theus with the lucky bounce!

Stutz was absolutely worthless tonight!

Shaka Smart just walked right past Marshall....not even a glance. He did shake hands but that's it....Ouch.....

Wichita simply got outplayed and out-coached tonight

Maybe Smart is not a fan of Marshall either! But I'd give anything to see Smart take over the Illini job. He may be occupied for awhile though.

wtf wsu

Shaka is a great coach, no doubt. But WSU was obviously not prepared for their constant full court press. Too little too late for them.

Absolute tragedy for the Valley.... No one will be able to whine about the MVC not getting respect or higher seeds than 8 with this bust by WSU. The talking heads on tv/radio will bring this up over and over again in future years about putting more than 1 team in the dance from 'mid majors' or that the MVC is now a low major...

Shocks have set the Valley back a ton with this loss.

Got to hope CU pulls off an upset or two, or, the Valley will look like the Pac 12 next season, but with only one team in the dance, the MVC Tourney winner.

I don't know if things will be that bad, and yes we do see some strong BCS teams that get upset in the first round every year. But of course we are talking about one out of six teams in a BCS conference versus one out of two in a mid-major conference, which agreed is not good for their perception.

Oh well, at least the Pac 12 is looking worse than we are. California absolutely got slaughtered by a South Florida team that wasn't that much better than them! Hopefully UNLV puts Colorado out of their misery tonight!

Oh, and of course I forgot about an Arizona Pac 12 team getting uspet as a #1 NIT seed for the second time in four years! Ouch! First it was Arizona St. upset by Jacksonville St. in 2009. Now here comes that Bucknell team beating Arizona last night! Sure the other 3 Pac 12 teams won last night, but at least our two MVC teams won on the road. At least the Valley has done well in the NIT the last couple of years.

UNLV getting destroyed 1st round for the 2nd year in a row.

Guess I spoke too soon!
