Wichita State v Wazzu

[trueou]

Wichita State is destroying Washington State with 3 minutes to go.

 

[One More Rebound]

They look well coached, with a deep bench. They run lots of plays, and are very hard to defend.

 

[One More Rebound]

Shockers win 75-44. They achieve a school record 28th victory.

I am warming up to the idea of Marshall. Not at the top of my list. But does not look like he would be a disaster.

What is the hate around here for Greg Marshall? Just curious, as I have no idea.

 

[AdaSooner]

Marshall had his team ready to play. Very impressive performance on both ends of the court. Maybe greenbug is on to something here.

The only thing negative I've heard about Marshall from actual media types is he can be a jerk. He can be the biggest jerk in the world but if he wins games I don't care.

+1

Jerk as in jerk to the media? Or to the players? Alumni? Fans? If it's the media crying I could not care less if he wins like you said.

They didn't really specify, but I'm assuming it was the media. Heck Kelvin wasn't exactly Mr. Congeniality when it came to dealing with the media. Neither is our football coach.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I may be warming up to the idea of Marshall, not that I was ever cold on him.

 

[seniorsooner]

Some people on here act like hiring Marshall would be like hiring the town drunk. I just don't get it, particularly when you look at the guy's resume.

 

[boksooner]

The only real knock on him is that he has been at WSU for 4 years and hasn't made one NCAA Tournament.

 

[One More Rebound]

I sure hope his 31 point victory was a good enough audition to get Sid's approval...

 

[MercedeSooner]

considering the names we are in on now I wish we would just hire Marshall.

That is a legitimate concern but remember that Turgeon was there for 7 years and only went to the tournament once. Furthermore it took him 6 years to get there.

 

[coolm]

nah, his resumes' not that bad. heck...they played 2 of the teams in the final four and lost by a total of 5 pts.

unfortunately I didn't watch them play so I can't endorse him.

You couldn't watch them tonight?

The other thing I like about Marshall's tenure at Wichita is steady improvement:

2007–2008 Wichita State 11-20 4-14 9th None
2008–2009 Wichita State 17-17 8-10 T-5th CBI 2nd Round
2009–2010 Wichita State 25-10 12-6 2nd NIT 1st Round
2010–2011 Wichita State 27-8 14-4 2nd NIT, to be determined.

 

[MercedeSooner]

btw our admin doesn't like Marshall cause he doesn't play nice nice with the media but going after Rose, a mormon in Oklahoma, is a better idea.

If Colorado wins, coolm can watch Marshall against his boy Tad Boyle.
