I can explain it from my perspective.  I went to the final four last year.  I like Wichita State's style of play, thought they were impressive last year, and was rooting like hell for them to knock off Louisville.  They had them on the ropes, and would have beaten them if Hancock hadn't had something like 15 points in 90 seconds to cut what was something like an 18 point lead to 3 very quickly.  They came an eyelash away from making the national championship game last season.  Seeing them live and with all the players they had returning, there was no doubt that they were going to be good as hell this year.

I actually pulled for them a bit this year, too.  Until our game at Pitt, when ESPN had Marshall in the studio, with them running what amounted to a WSU infomercial as he sat there and badmouthed us.  After that, I stopped pulling for them.  Then, he had a bunch of arrogant comments at the end of the season, only to chump out in the second round.  I still like the players and the style of play, I just don't like the coach anymore, and enjoyed seeing them flame out today.
