CofC Vs. Shockers

[KC Shox]

KC can't even spin these last two days negatively.

Sure I could, there are always things the Shox can improve upon. But I ain't gonna do it. Just got back from the game, I would like to add that Goldilocks, heck CofC period, were unconscious from the field the second half. Two things, damn glad we played B+ to A- b-ball tonight, glad we built up a 20 plus lead and real glad we hit our free throws. We needed all three of these to win tonight.

Tried to get Picketted again, but not this time.

Great game, atmosphere, and sendoff to our seniors.



Why stop now?

Very proud of this team in this "second season".

:posterwu:

And they needed their team to play unconscious and hit everything they jacked up from all four corners of the court for them to get the final under double digits.

Ever think of it that way?

1. The Shockers had 9 fouls in the first half, but only 5 in the second half. For awhile, I thought the Shocks might foul their way out of the game.

2. Shocks only had 12 turnovers. F+TO = 26. Pretty darn good.

3. I noticed that Coach Marshall did not send the walk-ons into the game with 3 minutes to go.

4. We are gonna miss Gabe. I liked him for the first moment I laid eyes on him in summer ball of '08.

5. I liked the double teaming or gimmicking on Goudelock. It made me wonder, if the tactic would have been useful against some of the one man teams in the Valley. Specifically, I was thinking of Ali Baba with UNI. While Mo State was not a one man team, it might have been useful against their guard. I cannot remember his name.

6. I did not attend the game. The crowd was loud. How did it compare to the Florida State v. WSU crowd?

I bet the team will probably fly out on Sunday to get ready for next Tuesday's game. Does anyone know who we will play?

Watch the late game tonight between the other WSU (Washington State) and Northwestern; we play the winner.

No comparison. It was "great regular season game loud" overall. There were some thunderous moments, but some slow stretches and the herky-jerky start kept it from being thunder buzzer to buzzer.

Normally, I watch the game from the student section, but this time I got some SASO-type seats. Not too bad, I must say. Granted, I miss the student energy, but the people in the paid seats really seem to know the game. Definitely more passion when it comes to the bad calls. Heck of a game to be at.

LET'S HEAR IT FOR NEW YOOOOOOORRRK!!!

Sure I did, but I knew Goldilocks was going to get his, it was just a question as to how much. He single handedly got that team back in the game. He was unstoppable for the most part so I'm real glad the Shox did things that enabled them to withstand his run.

[ShockerFever]

Agreed.

It's nice to see you less gloomy than usual. :good:

It was great National Pub. for our Program tonight and something for us to be proud of.

Despite what the announcers were saying, C of C was gassed at the 7 minute mark of the second half. When a time out was called at 7:02, most all of the Cougars had their hands on their hips, particularly the big men.

The Cougar starters played 38, 38, 37, 34, and 27 minutes.

Thanks to the Shockers tactic of running clock, the Cougars were able to gut it out.

The Shocker starters played more minutes than usual and I kinda liked it. The minutes were Joe - 30, Gabe - 29, Hatch - 29, Murry - 27 and Durley - 27.

The bench minutes were Kyles - 13, Stutz - 13, Ellis - 11, Smith - 11 and Williams - 10.

[WstateU]

Agreed.

KC needs his temperature checked... :D
