#10 Northern Iowa at #11 Wichita State, WINNER TAKE ALL

I don't really need to spell out that Championz isn't speaking for WSU fans, do I?

Probably do, considering how often the "WSU fans think Tuttle is dirty" line still gets used.

I think we could probably count on our hands the number of times that has been used since the initial discussion. Wufan is the only one who explicitly used "dirty" but there were plenty of people who jumped on that wagon and used it to bring up the flopping and cheating narrative, even after Wufan quickly retracted and amended his meaning. To be fair, I don't believe that many of them were Shocker fans but I just wanted to make it clear that this isn't a "Let's pile on Wufan, again".

It's not very different from when WSU fans defend Baker from ISUr fans who call him a flopper. No one is going to let anyone believe their guy does anything beneath the rules of the game to earn his "star" status...especially when it's pretty clear that he doesn't or it's so minor that it's negligible

As usual, you are the lone butthurt whiner of the thread.

I remember uniftw taking an unprovoked shot at WSU for the Showtime deal earlier this month so excuse me for asking for his commentary about this one. Let's not act like UNI fans don't bring up stuff from the past or aren't perfect angels either. Valleychamp likes to hit up 2livewu on a weekly basis. How come nobody whines about that?

Probably because most of us are adults and not middle school girls. Who cares? People can be assholes. Doesn't mean that a person should be an asshole in return, but if they are, so be it. That's their decision and it carries consequences. Let them live with it.

So...

I'm an asshole, huh?

I thought that was a great basketball game. Both teams played well. Uni made a few more mistakes than WSU.

Love to see a 3rd game in St. Louis. No offense to fans from the other 8 schools, but this is between Shocks and Panthers. Hope we get that 1 more time.

WSU's pressure got to the Panthers. I wonder if they'll have anything left in the tank if they get to them again on Sunday. Great game Uni.

I don't think Tuttle is dirty at all. I do think Washpun made a poor judgement in "unbalancing" Fred late in the game. And I don't think Gregg is particularly pleased about it and I'd bet it's not the last time we'll hear about it either. Everyone have fun in St Louis.

I thought the same thing at first, but as they showed the replayed it was pretty clear FVV was off balance already and I'm not entirely sure there was enough contact by any UNI player to cause that kind of fall.

[2livewu]

Yeah I'm up in the air on this one. Washpun clearly has his hand on Fred. Was it enough to change Fred's direction? I don't know...maybe. I don't think it was dirty, I don't think it was clean. I think it should have been a foul.

Polls: WSU leapfrogs UNI and Kansas to #8. UNI drops to 11/12.

That's some serious respect for the Valley.

Serious respect for two really good teams, at least. Both are fully deserving. What a fun league race that was.

[DUShock]

Well done Valley. Now lets (UNI & WSU) meet in the finals for the rubber match. Of course I think the Shocks will have the edge

Everyone making the trip to the Lou, travel safe.

Go Valley!

Go Shocks!!

Excuse me? You've lost me on that one
