Great Win! Greg Marshall is an outstanding coach and those guys really earned their way to the Final Four.

I'm so sad my job got cancelled at the last minute and I didn't get to go to Wichita. :-[[

I'd be on campus being in those wild parties they must be having right now.

Makes me wonder why UCLA didn't hold out for him instead of taking UNM's coach.

Either way he's gonna be getting the big payday call from somebody after the F4

Doubt it, Marshall is paid good money at WSU and there are no good positions available now that are worth it since UCLA is filled.

The Big East should invite Witchita State to give Creighton a traveling partner when they invite Saint Louis. This would be a good invite not just because they are going to the final four.

Great win for the Shockers and the program, good for them. The only bad part about it is that everywhere you look you get to see a bunch of bad puns.

On a side note, my grandpa is a WSU alum from the forties. His tuition for a semester? A whopping $75, about $760 today after inflation.

But that's expected. Who can forget when "the Butler did it" in 2010 and '11?

My guess: UCLA panicked after Smart and Stevens said no, and grabbed Alford today because on Monday his New Mexico buyout would have increased from $150,000 to $1 million.

Great win for Wichita. Would be great for them if they can hold onto Marshall, but they should just forget about that this week and enjoy the ride.

Minnesota, which fired Tubby Smith, is rumored as being after him as well. Norwood Teague, formerly of VCU, began his tenure as Minnesota AD a year ago.

fify. Travel partners work so that visiting schools can bus to the next game. Wichita is 2.5 hrs from Tulsa. Wichita is 5 hrs from Omaha. IMO they make more sense with the Metro. They'd fit the institutional profile much better.

Forgot about Wake, did they fire their coach yet? Marshall is from the south so that is intriguing. Wake has a good history so if they throw a TON of money at Marshall, that could be a possibility.

RE: OT: Wichita St. Shockers to the Final 4!
Normally, I like teams who have done it during the regular season to make it, but after Ohio St. got 3 gifts in the final minute to beat Iowa St. (charge on ISU that s/h/b block-ISU would have been up 3 with a free throw; screen that was a tackle not called-OSU player knocked ISU defender about 5 ft; touch foul giving OSU a 3 pt play), I was rooting for Wichita St.

But its good for the MVC which doesn't get the national recognition for how good they are.

It definitely eliminates any nagging worries that losing Creighton might make it harder for the MVC to reload.

Our fans have been clamoring for Gregg Marshall since his days at Winthrop. But our AD has decided not to fire our current boat anchor of a head coach. Don't ask why, no one knows why Bz was hired and no one knows why he's being retained. Hopefully, Marshall is still available next season but I doubt it.

Sad, Bzdelik (sp?) has run that program to the ground and I've read articles about fans not showing up in protest. How can they still keep him around when someone like Marshall (if interested) is around...

I seem to remember reading that Bz and the AD at Wake are friends.

Hiring and retaining Bz will probably end up costing him his job unless Bz really turns things around next season.

Don't buy the friends argument. No one makes a move like that at this level for reasons like that.
