2013 NCAA Final Four Discussion: Louisville vs Wichita State game thread
Louisville already had the bigger names, the better team and some unfinished business after coming up short in last year’s Final Four. All Wichita State had was the cute-and-cuddly underdog angle. Now the Shockers don’t even have that. Kevin Ware is everybody’s favorite player since he broke his leg in gruesome fashion last weekend yet summoned the strength to encourage his teammates, and having him at the Final Four has given the top-seeded Cardinals (33-5) added motivation to claim the title that eluded them last year.
-- AP
Wichita State has one player (Carl Hall) who salvaged his career after working in a light bulb factory and two more (Ron Baker and Malcolm Armstead) who paid their way to come to school and started on the team as walk-ons. Its coach has invited fans into the locker room after big wins. Yes, this is a school with all the makings of a team the entire country could get behind.

Hopefully Wichita St. can keep up with Louisville.
A competitive game is all I'm asking for.

Re: 2013 NCAA Final Four Discussion: Louisville vs Wichita State game thread
Both teams shooting under 40% with 8 minutes left in first half. It's 13 all. Action is a bit too fast/frantic for the shooters to handle so far

Ugly game. I'm just glad it's close.

Re: 2013 NCAA Final Four Discussion: Louisville vs Wichita State game thread
Damn these college teams are garbage, they just so scared, just playing zone and jacking up long jumpers. :oldlol:
Picture these scrubs vs a tough defensive team like the Bulls, they would be destroyed so badly, Final score 85:7.
