How can we let a guy that can't lift 50 pounds take it to us like thatComment

Fortunately for Austin and the Shocks he can handle 1 lb. and 6 ounces quite nicely.Originally posted by Topshock View Post
I have to admit though that Austin reminds of of the skinny guy (in before mode) in the old Charles Atlas ads.
Except Austin doesn't seem to have any problem standing up to the guys trying to bully him. Although I do hold my breath every time he takes the brunt of one of those charging bulls.

Late posting about the game. I expected a dog fight, like much of the rest of our road games this season, but was really impressed with the way this team found a way to stick together, play good defense when it really needed to, and found the three point wizards in perfect position for some serious daggers. The beauty of this team is the unselfish play of all and the fact that it seems that every single game there is a different "hero" who steps up and positions himself as "the guy" who had the best contribution. And it seems that Marshall has built a team that has different pieces that can offset any matchups that might prove difficult against different teams. I think the UConn Bigs' length and size and decision to zone us dictated a different game plan for Marshall and company. I think we can credit Coach Linstead for the scouting report on this one. All in all, a great road win against a new conference foe and is no cupcake.Comment

Landry gave credit to Coach Kyle's scout on the postgame and I think it should have been reassuring to some here who were worried about how much help GGG was getting from his assistants this year. I also noticed in the game that Coach Jones was pretty active on the sideline too.Comment

Well there are times that every coach, no matter how good, and how experienced, is a little baffled on what to do during a game. It's not like you can load up a film, watch, analyze, and put heads together to find out the best solution to defend Young differently. That's one reason that the best coaches, and players often show up in March (but not every March). They thought they were prepared, but as it goes, the other team is trying too and Lon Krueger is very good, and Young is a "special" player.
Landry went so far to say that everything that UCONN threw at them, Coach Linsted had showed them in the scouting report prior to the game. The interesting tidbit about this statement is that the television "experts" said that UCONN had rarely played any zone and that is all they threw at the Shockers. Kyle L. must have anticipated that they would play the zone a great amount of the time and spent significant time on it. I would have expected that he briefed them (maybe a little more) on the zone but he must have gone into it deeply.Comment

Finally got a chance to see the game. Surprised to see UCONN's lack of depth and scoring options.
AR is really settling in nicely and taking care of the ball. He is picking his spots on offense, and I am curious how many charging calls he will take by season's end.
Happy to see Markis running around out there. He is certainly shaking the rust off - can't wait to see him in a couple of weeks.
Good to see us play well against a zone again. I was hoping for a bigger margin, but I have to remind myself how difficult it is to win on the road.
