#3 Indiana State vs #2 Wichita State

[Aargh]

Add Lansing to the growing list of coaches who can devise a defense to ABSOLUTELY stop WSU's offensive strategies.

The entire second half, the offense produced almost nothing. Unless ugly 3's is the intended result of most possessions.

I guess it's not that hard to stop an inside game if you can just ignore shots of more than 12'.

Selfish Jump Shots!!!!!

Heads it's Boulder.

Tails it's Lincoln.

Sides it's home game vs. OkieState.

We are being outcoached again. Are you sure we even get to the NIT?

We've only been outcoached 8 times this season. We've outcoached our opponents 24 times.

3-7 in close games this year.

That's coaching.

Sorry for JT, Hatch, Blair and Ellis that this will end in the NIT.... again.

[forevershockerfan]

It appeared from the get-go that we might even blow this team out. Wrong!!! 18-1 runs are killers. Odom may be a Frosh., but he cleaned our clock. Live by the 3, and we exit the Lew by the 3. We are just not a Team that was ready to Dance as we all wished so intensly. 24-8 is not chopped liver but who among us did not feel we would be better?

[kstarheel]

Hope Gregg can handle all the BCS offers.

Embarrassed

Absolutely ridiculous!

I may change my mind by the time a game rolls around, but as of right now, I amy boycotting an NIT game. This team and coaching staff frankly doesn't deserve it and I couldn't care less about watching them in the NIT. It's an embarrassment. Either the basketball IQ of this team is incredibly low or the coaching sucks (or both). How can we continue to do the same stupid things game after game? We just continue to completely ignore what has given us any amount of success and instead fire up guarded three pointers and otherwise just make boneheaded play after boneheaded play.

This season has been the biggest waste of talent ever at WSU. There is no reason why this team shouldn't be an lock for an automatic bid to the tournament and instead we're looking at the very real possibility of a first-round loss in the NIT.

[KC Shox]

Really, should we be surprised by this performance? Playing .500 ball in the past 8 games, this team was not peaking at season's end and was ever so slowly sliding down the hill of obscurity.

Who gives a flying F**K about the NIT. If these guys get a NIT home game, they'll blow that one too. Just put a fork in this team instead of prolonging this disaster.

[WSUShokker]

maturity in our players is so lacking.....no leadership...ever time up the court in the last 6 min.....is like ....ok what are we doing? ..Ok ill pas it this way then get trapped...get out of it and find the first guy I can to jack up a three. Garrett was totally nuetralized in the 2nd half....and we had like 4 shots blocked in the last 4 minutes..

Coach Marshall this is all on you....every bit of it

[SekShocker]

Pregame show all you hear is we have the advantage inside and how do we score must of our points, by going inside. How do we lose by taking freaking jump shot after jumpsuit with no drives to the hoop. Sickening.

game

marshall just can't make adjustments. we had no answer in the second half.

ISU killed us on game plan, execution and adjustments. their defense was excellent and had great rebounding. offensive spacing and ball rotation was solid.

WSU just clutched...you could feel it in the first half. hard to win when two of three starters don't score. are you serious...don't score.

another NIT banner and likely one and done with that ..

[another shocker]

Well, you can't say that the Shockers are inconsistent. The same crap WSU team from the last five games (Bradley last night included) showed up, sure enough.

Horrible move by Marshall last night when he when into "feel good" mode and inserted the far end of the bench against Bradley much too soon (he shouldn't have played them at all). I bring that up because the season is over now and for me that kind of epitomised the whole season.

[Rosewood]

Hip Hip had 0 points. 0. Zero.

jesus

[1972Shocker]

Very dissappointing. I wish I could say surprising but this team has given us no reason believe that they could take advantage of another opportunity.

Give Indiana State credit. They were the better basketball game in just about every way today. They deserved to win. The Shocks deserved to lose.

I will say I thought Gabe played his ass off. Thanks for the effort big guy.

A very, very mid-majorish performance by the Shocks. Perhaps even a low mid-majorish effort.
