I don't get this. Wichita blew out nearly everyone they played. What else were they supposed to do against that schedule?


Anybody who shits on Wichita State for that performance in turn needs to be shitting on Florida for beating us by 1 a week ago.

Wichita State earned the #1 seed IMO. They played a great game. It's just quite possible that UK has finally found it's stride. And that's nothing to shite on Wichita State over.

You guys are acting like Kentucky blew them out the water... WS deserved to be there, and probably should have won that game.

UK was preseason #1, played their best game of the season and barely won this game.

Maybe Wichita can't win games against teams from Kentucky

WSU is a really great team; sad to see them get bounced.

And as another poster mentioned, this was a Final Four team last year.

Not really shitting on them.. just have to understand that there were incredibly unrealistic evaluations and expectations for this team.

Honestly, had they seeded UK appropriately this should've been a game out beyond the 2nd round. They have a legit argument that the committee stacked their bracket unfairly in comparison to others.

I don't think it would've been unrealistic to expect them to at least make a Sweet 16 or better if the bracket had been fairly seeded.

using a 2 point loss to a good Kentucky team to validate your wichita state was overrated idea is pretty stupid IMO. the better team doesn't always win.

wichita state played plenty of tough teams. how many teams would be favored to win at saint louis for example?

(not directed at you or anyone. saying in general)

A final 4 team that returns everyone and goes undefeated, deserves a #1 seed. It doesn't matter if they're a mid-major.

Kentucky played really well, especially down the stretch, and shot it great. They won by 2.

It's going to take Kentucky reaching the Final Four for people to see how good Wichita really was.

But that's fine, because it's going to happen.

Well the committee obviously felt that they hadn't been tested and they were going to make sure they earned it. I applaud them.
