For all the Shocker fans stating total domination, etc.... There are reasons for that which had nothing to do with the 10 athletes on the court. Too bad too, I think they robbed the viewers from what would have been a tremendous basketball game.
Regardless, congrats to the seniors from Wichita for a tremendous Vally career. Well earned ovations at the end of the game.
Hahahahaha, was waiting to see how long it would take for the refs complaint.
No kidding. The "phantom fouls" evened out because WSU let the birds off the hook by shooting 60% from the line. When you win the TO margin 17-6, the rebounding 40-33 (16-8 on the offensive boards), and have the two best players in the conference the opposition was never going to win this game. It should have been about a 25-30 point blow out if we would have made some freebies.
Now the challenge will be to stay on the past 4-game roll in STL. STA hasn't exactly been kind to us over the years. Plus, E-Ville and ISU-R will be on high alert because they want to dance as well. WSU must cover its bases, because #2 and #3 seeds have the roster to win this thing and go to the prom.
