WSU-MSU Game Thread

[tropicalshox]

Two of our best players recently are JT and Rags. We got to have them stay out of foul trouble. If they do that in St. Louis, I like our chances.

Not a big surprise to tell you the truth. Strictly looking at the NCAA Tourney birth slant, we all know, I take that back, almost everyone knows this is a one-bid conference so losing today doesn't mean a thing. The team has to win the next three or bust.

I still like our team in St. Louis. Today was a frustrating game to watch. TM the wet noodle is driving me nuts and Stutz has become a non-factor. Not sure what's happened to these guys but they better figure it out quick because we need them if we want to make a run in the Lou.

I wouldn't call them 2 of our best, I would say they are the 2 best and it's not even close. There's a big drop after those guys. We're really gonna miss JT next year.

Did anyone hear what GM had to say to Mike after the game?....I was called to the phone and missed it

The Shockers looked terrible on television once again today, just terrible. I just don't see how this team wins the conference tournament, i truly do not.

Anybody else in a terrible mood?

Coaching - at the beginning of a game, you see the team that is following the game plan of which the coach set. As you get closer to the half, you might see a little waiver from that (although a disciplined team will stay the course). At the beginning of the second half, you see the team that is following the adjustments made by the coach...and so on.

How have our first halves looked this year? Today, the first 14 minutes of the second half looked just like the first half.

When the players started doing their own thing (Kyles specifically), we score some points to get us back into it.

I know I'll be attacked for thinking that the coaching is "less than acceptable", but that's how I see it.

I almost put it that way but after thinking about what Ben Smith has done in most recent games decided against it.

Anybody else in a terrible mood?

Yes, even my cats and dogs would agree... they're all still hiding under the bed.

Here's one of them.

Maybe a good thing...no way can the Shocks lose 3 to MSU in a season, is there?

Do you think the Shockers can beat CU, DU, ISU, ISU, EU, BU three times?

Good question...probably not, but then that is to give up hope for the rest of the season. I think WSU has a better chance of three wins against anyone they have beaten twice than MSU has of beating WSU three times. I just have to think that from one of these games, the coaches and players will make adjustments based on what they learned in their previous game. Doesn't seem like that has happened yet, so now would be a good time to start.

But, who knows?

LOL -- well I am in a better mood after reading one of FSF's posts at least. :)

Please sit Murry down!

You don't sit a player just because they missed a shot.

No, but you sit him for constantly turning the ball over, muffing up shots, being out-of-control, and taking STUPID shots.

There are 9 guys that should be getting more minutes than Murry. Until Marshall understands this, we will continue to throw the season away.

Unfortunately, I don't see this changing in St. Louis. And low and behold, it'll be NITfest again. And NITfest is not what I'll be watching.
