Nice of Anonymous posters on the BearNation message board to wish harm to WSU's players.

Real classy.

I didn't post that, but was it it classy like when wsu fans told my four year old daughter to sit down and shut the "f" up in Springfield? Or how about when you guys flash the sexual shocker sign to the TV cameras?

Just wondering since shocker fans have always been known as the most classy fans in the valley.

Nice first post. You strike me as a confrontational type.

Hi my name is chase and I'm an alcoholic. Don't want to see anyone injured. I absolutely hate WSU as a rival, That being said I want MSU to do everything it can to catch the shocks and knock them down, I don't want injuries to bring Wichita down to the league, I want to climb to them.

MSU has had a nice season. You play as tough a half court defense as anyone we've played. Yesterday our 3 ball shooting was superior enough that it didn't matter. With Marshall, you would have been a your strongest, but it most likely wouldn't have changed the outcome this year. You were better this year and good luck in future years. Nice game yesterday.

As a shock fan I'll say it is pretty silly to say MSU would have not had a different outcome to the season if they were to have Marshall. The kid is a stud and I think they were 9-2 with him in the lineup with one of those losses being to Loyola which probably should have not happened. Also played us tough and close in Springfield so I can't agree with that. Definitely looking forward to playing MSU and beating them these next few years though. Go shox!!

What happened to Gulley and Pickens yesterday? I saw Pickens go out and it looked horrible! Did not see Gulley leave. Terrible way to end their Valley career, but hope that both are able to contribute in the post season. Any word?

Obviously not a classy comment but he was chastised for it. There are those individuals in every fan base. Are you on Shockernet? If so read it for about 5 minutes with an open mind towards what is "classy" and what is not.

Gulley came back in the game later so I think he's fine. Word is Pickens has a groin pull. It's almost unbelievable the number of injuries we've had this year.

Thanks for the update. WSU was snake bitten last year with Wessell missing the last 31 games of the season, Baker missing 21, and Hall missing several. While we've been banged up this year, as all teams go through, only one game has been missed due to injury...Darius Carter in the non-con.

Once Pickins went down early in the first half ( our best defender and rebounder who never returned to the game), and Gulley went down late in the first half ( our best scorer and 2nd best rebounder who only played 3 minutes in the entire 2nd half), it was over.

WSU is awesome though, no doubt about it. They put on a clinic.

The Bears need to recover from injuries and stay healthy and I think they can make strides next year. Hopefully we can land a couple of meaningful jucos in the off season as well to help as well.

Congrats Shock fans on an unbelievable season. Hope you keep it up all the way to the National Championship!
