The Downfall of Wichita State Basketball 

I remember being on that 2013 WSU bandwagon. They really took over the state of Kansas it was a fun thing to see

Born and raised in Wichita; attended the University during the peak years with Marshall. This is really sad :(

Maybe the talent bailed him out Fred van Fleet and Landry Shamet are good nba players.

The shockers are a really good team and it’s sad to see all those kids transfer because the coach was abusive

Being a Wichita native it hurts so much knowing we got a naty stolen from us

Their downfall started when they joined the AAC thinking they would run everyone out of the gym and then lost to Cincinnati 6 straight times.

I’m a student at Wichita State. We’ll rise again. Edit: 2021 AAC conference champions baby! Fear the wheat!

That 2014 game with Kentucky was one of the best played games ever especially the second half with both teams throwing haymaker after haymaker.

What’s crazy is even after these allegations they can’t just fire him, had to buy him out. 1.5/year for next 6 years

I was going to ask for you to do a rise of Minnesota football, then this year happened...

Season ticket holder since ‘05 here. Very well done video! Was fun to relive those awesome experiences. Hope we can finish out this season strong and get a new video on former Assistant and hopefully next Head Coach Issac Brown!

​still waiting for the downfall of syracuse football and basketball

I actually went to a witchta state game back in 2013 when the were in the ncaa tournament, I fell in love with them, sad to see the downfall

Liked your channel before, but I'm loving the increase in college basketball content. I'm so ready for the season.

Ever since Wichita State made it to the Final Four, I think everyone expected them (at least in the Wichita area) to be a Top 25 team every single year.

The 7 players transferring within that two week timeframe was pretty suspicious. You could easily tell something was up. After I heard Goodman’s report about Marshall I wasn’t that surprised.

So glad I found your channel. You make great videos, keep it up!

As someone who met Greg I’m shocked to hear these allegations, he was an insanely nice man

Shocker fan here. Loved the video, it was a fun walk down memory lane. Calling it a downfall seemed click-baity, but it was a really well put together video! Seems like Shocker basketball is in fine hands under Isaac Brown. We were lucky to keep the guys that we did keep, like Dexter Dennis and Tyson Etienne.

I'm from Wichita and attended a WSU basketball camp back around 2012. It was at Koch arena and ran by Marshall, I got a really bad vibe from him from the beginning that never left me really.. It seemed like all of Wichita loved this guy but this doesn't surprise me at all. Not disappointed he's gone

You should do a rise of Oregon basketball. Dana Altman is the real deal.

Okay but whats the music you use here? Great vids!

As a Wichita State Alum, this video hit different! I was a student during that Final Four run and went to the losing game against Louisville. What a year! I was always curious why Austin Reaves transferred to Oklahoma. I wonder if it was really Greg Marshall’s abuse instead of the student newspaper being the reason. Great video as always! This was a joy to watch

Great video love your work! Could you do a rise video on UConn basketball? I feel like Hurley has this team on the right track

Can we get a video on Tulsa football? They’ve come out of nowhere to be one of the best teams in the American this year.

This videos are amazing man the blow up coming soon ❤️

Downfall of West Virginia football? They’ve had a couple chances to get to big dance but never pulled through. Ever since joining the big 12 the team has never been the same.

"Verbal abuse, racial slur, body shaming" - What a weak world this has become.

Marshall stayed in Wichita instead of going to a big name school is because he could make just as much money if not more there with a program he built to legitimacy . He had stated that he doesn't recruit one and dones because he doesn't like that aspect of college ball and that's who would want to go to bigger schools. In his words, in Wichita, "Basketball is King" since there is no football. There is nowhere else Gregg would have been as revered than Wichita. Private jets whenever he wanted, brining the team to billionaire's houses for team dinner, country club status everywhere in the city, you name it he had it. too bad about his ego.

They should of never left the Missouri Valley Conference! I remember when they use to play in the valley during my high school years and they were so good! Hey at least my school SIUC has an easier path to March Madness.

Cole on that grind 😈

I really like their logo.

It might be controversial, but what about a rise of Liberty football also called the redemption of Hugh Freeze. What do you think?

Speaking of Patrick Chambers, I'd love to see a video on Penn State, the situation around Chambers, and the future of them. I was really liking that program as a dark horse final four candidate before you know what happened last year.

Your videos are great, bro. Keep it up.

Greg’s the Bob Knight of this generation.

Did you do a Gonzaga video yet?

Witchita is one of my favorite college basketball teams and there fall of the map is just very disappointing. I'm glad you made this clear. They just never got it done great teams just no ncaa championship

I remember Carl Hall I was a huge fan of his I believe last time I checked he was playing in japan

great vid!!

I’m in my junior year at wsu and I’ll never get tired of having them break my heart

People are imperfect. Loved my Shocker teams under Gregg. Totally disapprove of the believable allegations. Prefer to remember him at a Shocker youth basketball camp. My friends son, 10 years old, was overwhelmed by the number of kids at camp and was crying... Gregg noticed him (plus 200 kids at the arena) and got Bush Waumakota (7' Center) to make him feel comfortable. Same coach different pressures. Gregg was imperfect but who among us is? Pressure to succeed often changes people from whom they really are.

Totally agree with all of this. Great take.

Lookin back on this video and seeing how they’re doing so far in the 2021 season, I’d personally hire Isaac Brown IMMEDIATELY. Not only because do the players love the guy, but they also recently beat #6 Houston.

Crazy great video

Can you do a video on what happened to the southwest conference

I'm going to be thankful for what he did. But yeah some of the stuff that was reported you can't let it slide. I also think that the past 2 years of players were a little softer/had an ego as I was told by others and players with egos don't exactly mix well. We'll see how the next few years go. I expect us to be bad the next few years but I'll still be faithful as always. Sad to see him go but kind of had to be done.

Hey, I’m a huge fan of the channel, I was wondering if you could do a downfall for the Arizona wildcats football team. I know it wasn’t a huge fall but we were in the fiesta bowl just 6 years ago and Tate looked like a heisman candidate at one point. Keep up the good work

The 2022 version of the shockers is dreadful. Looks like Y ball.

I really hope they do recover. That team has been fun to watch for years.

Do the Rise of Utah State Basketball. That is a heck of a story.

Abusive college basketball coaches. What a "no pun intended" shocker!

Now the downfall is even worse. Last year winning the American was a fluke. IB isn’t head coach material right now.

He’s a Roanoke native. Was really hoping he would coach Virginia Tech. But we weren’t a big enough basketball school at the time. However, it looks like avoided a PR disaster

You should do a video on Gus Malzahn, in my opinion, the most underrated head coach in the power 5.

im from Wichita and I say we need to get over that plane crash and start our football program back up...Go Shockers

Bro, how do you get 2 GREAT videos out just one day in a row? You gotta be a wizard.

Downfall of Gregg Marshall. Wichita State is currently atop the AAC and doing just fine. Isaac Brown overachieving already. Love to see it.

Can you please do something on Michigan state basketball Ik we really haven’t had a downfall but with our recruiting you could say we’re on the rise or you could do a video on the big ten all together

these videos are the best

I’d love to see a video about the downfall of Florida State football!

One video a day for a week? We see you 🔥

I went to 3 games last season and they won everytime and looked pretty good

Two years later & Isaac Brown is now fired from Wichita State. Yet again the shockers are going on a firing spree The only thing that's shocking about the Shockers is how bad we are (don't come here or else You won't get to keep Your job coz You'll probably be fired) This Video Aged Well

I think their old conference the Missouri Valley is underrated in basketball. Bradley, Loyola, UNI, Drake, and Valpo used to be good

in 2016 i met ron baker and i got his autograph. I met him when his brother was playing a baseball game in my town

I would like to see you cover the rise of Michigan Basketball. Prior to John Beilein the program was in shambles and couldn't even make the NCAA tournament, their best result was a NIT championship in 04. Under Beilein Mich became a contender for the tournament and made it to the championship game twice

You should do a rise of iowa basketball

The Shockers made it to the Final 4 in 1964, not the elite 8.

I think a video on how Bruce Pearl built Auburn would be a hit

I’d love to see a video on the national phenomenon know as MACtion

It's so very hard to find a coach that will keep you relevant after a really good one/Hall Of Famer retires or gets fired... -Kentucky: Pitino went to the NBA in 1997 and Tubby Smith won a title in 1998 with Pitino's players and then went to maybe 1 final four over 10 years when he was there before Calipari. That's not good enough for that place. -Indiana: Is considered one of the Blue Bloods, but since Bobby Knight got fired (for coaching HARD), they have been to 1 final four and have had a myriad of coaches. -North Carolina: After Dean Smith Retired in the mid 90s, they bounced several coaches and before getting Roy Williams to come back to Chapel Hill after 15 years at Kansas in 2003. -Kansas: After Phog Allen was forced to retire due to age (he was never able to coach Wilt Chamberlain in the late 50's)...after the 1957 3OT NCAA Title loss against UNC, Chamberlain went pro. Kansas ended up a sort-of "middling" program under Ted Owens from the 60s to the 70s until the 80s. There were a few final fours in there, but no National Titles. They have been lucky since the hiring Larry Brown in the early 80s to go from him to Roy Williams and now to Bill Self. -Connecticut: They won 4 National Titles, Jim Calhoun was that program and they were absolutely stellar, tearing up the recruiting trail...taking recruits from bluebloods UNC, Kentucky, Kansas...etc. They haven't been back to a final four since Kevin Ollie, Dan Hurley is now head coach. -Maryland: A premier program under Hall of Famer Gary Williams and won the 2002 National Title, knocking off Kansas and Indiana to do so. After his retirement, they were able to nab Kansas alum Mark Turgeon (mentioned in this video), they make the tournament but certainly aren't the powerhouse they once were under Gary There are many other examples...but you get my drift. :)

fred vanvleet is my favorite nba player and wichita state is my favorite ncaa bball team. so this is a great video

As a Kentucky fan, I remember thinking early was going to be a great pro.

As someone who goes to lots of Marshall games I must say that was not an embarrassing loss. That season Marshall was a really good team, they beat a top top 25 team on the road(Middle Tennessee). I definitely wouldn’t count that against Wichita, it was a great game.

Hey Cole, I would love a Rise of Auburn Basketball or the Downfall of PAC-12 football, a.k.a. the entire conference.

Seeing some comments that WSU couldn’t make it because they were only good cause of a shitty conference. Well not really, Creighton left the same conference and is doing just fine.

when were they ever any count?

Please do the fall and rise of UCONN basketball

My hometown team crazy I grew up watching guys on the 2013 team

woulda been nice to see them against 2018 loyola in the valley

Being from Wichita it sucks to see our only good sports team crumble. But this was the right thing and hopefully we can become what we once were

I remember seeing one of those "locker room look-ins" to the Winthrop locker room around 20 years ago. Just the way he talked and composed himself made me think "this guy is an asshole, who'd want to play for him?" I really liked his teams at Wichita St., and thought he was a top shelf coach, but seemed to be a little too self-assured. For reference, I used to think similar things about Frank Martin until I saw interviews with him and he's actually a really funny guy. Marshall seems humorless. I can't say I'm surprised by what was revealed about him, but disappointed because I did think the guy knows how to coach, but clearly not how to treat people.

DO A VIDEO ON UCONN MENS BASKETBALL !

It's sad. I was kind of rooting for them because they are an underdog type program. Hopefully, the program can clean it's self up and continue to dominate.

The contract this guy got out of leaving the program is INSANE. As a Kansas native and diehard KU fan, looking at this guy and what he got, the tens of millions of dollars after all of these allegations, and then to look at the history of Kansas coaches, Self at KU and even Snider at K State, this is a joke of a deal and I wouldn't care if WSU never gets a basketball program worth mentioning again. What a waste of student dollars. A shame.

Lol, “downfall”. They just won the AAC regular season championship.

Downfall of the WAC conference? No one really talks about it?

I feel like the rise of Villanova basketball might be a good video idk.

You should do a vid about the Badgers! football or basketball

This downfall could get ugly soon, I’m talking less than 10 win seasons!

I’m still pissed about that first loss to Kentucky

I’m 14 and when I first started watching college bball they were great. Now they are just average, maybe sub-par

I just realized that your past 2 videos have stuff to do with SW virginia

If you want to play angry.. get a coach thats angry.. seems right to me

You should do the rise of the red wings with Steve yzerman and how he has rebuilt the wings

Since Theo left today can you plzzzz do downfall of Chicago Cubs! Plz man imma big fan

Please make a video called the rise and fall and rise of Louisville Basketball

He wasn't fired. He resigned (under pressure? probably).

A fun fact Wichita ran into Notre Dame again in 2017 in the Maui championship in an amazing game
