5:15: Wichita St vs Kansas

[jncuse]

Perhaps the most interesting and most anticipated 2nd round matchup. Kansas has refused to play Wichita St, and now they are forced.

First thing to note is this is a pick em game, which is in line with KenPom. Wichita St may be as good as 3/4 seed, but as has been discussed as nauseum its hard to measure these type of teams good or bad. Heart says Wichita St, head still says Kansas.

I'm going with your heart on this one - let's go Wichita State!

 

[Ringostar57]

Is Kansas dust in the wind? Wichita State has an axe to grind.

Apparently Cliff Alexander is playing for KU in Charles Barkley's world. Another stellar effort from Chuck

Wichita State takes a lot of stupid shots.

 

[Ghost]

Jayhawks wear destiny t-shirts? Uh-oh!

 

[longislandcuse]

This Wessell guy is the best player on the floor.

 

[McNabb2Brominski]

Kansas. Heres another team that chokes early in the tourney. if it wasnt for their 08 championship..self would be canned by now.

 

[bevosu]

Love to see Wichita State bury Kansas...but I'll take any kind of WS win.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I can't believe Van Vleet and Baker are only juniors. I swear they have been there ten years. Great players though.

 

[longislandcuse]

Lol what was that pass?

 

[bevosu]

Ouch!

 

[SUMBA]

I expect a hockey game to break out soon!

 

[Toga]

Go Shockers. More cowbell.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I know a lot of people think Marshall is a self-centered , but it's fun to watch a team that can make shots.

 

[jncuse]

This is good basketball

UVA got a tough draw with Michigan State, but Wichita State was ranked 14th in the last poll and Kansas was ranked 10th. Kansas absolutely got screwed with Wichita State as a 7 seed.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Wichita playing well. Unless Kansas reverses this quickly another two seed goes down. So much for a chalk tourney.

 

[LennX6]

I really like this team. OK how many times this weekend have any of you said "Wow, how come we don't have any guys that can do that??"

 

[PauliePeppas]

Wichita as a 7 seed is comical, but Im not complaining. Cant stand Kansas

 

[HOFCeluck]

I love it. Guess this is why KU was ducking the shockers so long.

 

[Alsacs]

Louisville is going to get housed by Northern Iowa if Wichita State is this good.

 

[Oakland]

I foresee a wave of fouls being called against WS in the next 3 min.

[longislandcuse]

Really, really hate that being called a foul.

 

[longislandcuse]

Add Kansas to the list of Nova, Iowa State and Virginia. Note to self: Never pick these teams to do anything.
