Baker had two D1 offers, Arkansas-LR and one of the Dakotas. He didn't play AAU ball. WSU was smart and got him. He is now on the NBA radar. WSU does not have an insane amount of talent, but you watched the same game I did. Six steals and six blocks for WSU - and there were probably more...

Fair enough.

Martin was not chosen over Marshall - not sure where you got that. I think Marshall might have expressed some interest a while back while at Winthrop - or he might not have. Just curious if this same level of criticism would be happening if the loss today was on the road to a BCS team that...

Shocker fan here (I hope you don't mind) - Why do some of you think the Vols were more talented? I think McCrae was the best athlete on the court, but after him WSU was as good or better athletically. WSU was certainly quicker. WSU with six steals and six blocks and outrebounded UT by 5...

For several reasons, that exact phrase "at that level" tends to fire up Shocker players and fans. There is some history to those words that I am sure Martin was unaware of.

I saw something he said like " . . . but they haven't played Tennessee" What else has he said?

Cuonzo provide just a bit more motivation for the Shocks, as quoted in this morning's Wichita Eagle: The Shockers own an equally strong reputation for rebounding, as Martin knows from his three seasons in the Missouri Valley Conference at Missouri State. “They rebound and they have a lot of...

It was described in another thread, but yes the WuShock is a shock of wheat. The first students of Fairmount College (predecessor of WSU) worked the wheat fields of Kansas "shocking" the wheat, thus "Shockers." It has nothing to do with electricity. BTW, there is a good chance that Ron...

How do you guys have all of this info that he "begged" for interviews etc? If you know Marshall at all, there is no possible way he begs for anything. He was contacted about the USC and UCLA and declined to interview. As I stated he flatly turned down NC State. WSU is a great job...

Where do you get your info? Marshall has TURNED down many BCS jobs including NC State. He's paid like a BCS coach ($1.7 million), has private jets for recruiting, great facilities and 10,5000 fans every game. College basketball is devoid of a great team - ESPN

Actually Ron Baker was #40 on Chad Ford's NBA list, so that makes two Shockers on the NBA radar screen. If you put complete stock in the star ratings, you might be right, but not sure. Soph Fred Van Vleet was a top 100 and Jr Darius Carter was a JuCo All-American. I don't know how many...

You know this how? We (WSU fans) seem to hear this all of the time when we play BCS teams. Yet, it is rarely true.

Since WSU does not have football, we are free agents when it comes to college football. I am frequently asked who I want to win when KU and KSU play and I always replay, "I hope they both lose." I've always had a ton of respect of Tennessee football. It seems to me that along with Michigan...
