Wichita State @ Houston Game Thread

[BOBB]

Maybe some bus trips to away games would be a nice mind focuser, for staff and coaches alike. Look pampered and play soft and slow.

We aren't in the Valley anymore.

It's going to be a long 5 days. We know we weren't going to steamroll this conference like the Valley and more losses would occur, but the way in which we lost this one is deflating. Points off of turnovers had to be at an absurd amount today. It's one thing to get your tail kicked, but when you are your worst enemy and manbun dunks on you, it's exponentially worse.

[ShockAzs]

What a rough performance. Has coach lost the team? Is there something else going on that we're not aware of? I certainly hope not.

That said, it's hard to win on the road, and we're definitely seeing better competition. This is what we wanted, yes? Hopefully it's a learning moment and better prepares us for March. Everybody should remember the Final Four team had a few rough stretches as well.

it’s not alway fair for a fan to grade the coaching staff as we don’t know what goes on behind the scenes but it really bothers me to see all of the assistants sitting on the bench as if they’re watching a movie. motion creates emotion... there is no motion. definitely not getting good vibes.

#4 OU down 15 af cowpoker State early

[BOBB]

I know the "af" was a typo but I read it that way and laughed

[InWuWeTrust]

trae young has been solved. they have peaked unless he can up/change his game. the film from the game at iba has been posted on every future okla opponent’s pages.

If I hear one more time about how much better Shamet is than Baker and Van vleet were I am going to lose it.

[Shock Top]

I terms of ability (especially offensively), it’s true.

In terms of on the court and in things that don’t show up on the stat sheet, Ron and Fred would be tough for anyone to beat.

[Royalno5]

You say that, but this guy was preseason all everything and I see him getting out played in almost every game, In the big games when we need him to step up it is not happening. That is what All-Americans do. That is what Jace, Shake etc. has done to the Shockers, That is what X, Antoine, etc did in the past.

[LoneStar48]

Seems like something is off with LS; shooting, passing, I don't know, but I do think that as he goes, the team goes.

[BOBB]

He had numerous opportunities to get to the rim but steps back instead of splitting defenders

Manbun looks and plays a lot like a couple former guards we used to have here in Doo-dah.

Agree otherwise with your post.

[Walker]

The fact I'm in a pretty shitty mood like everyone else coupled with him having a manbun, it just kind of came out but yeah he's definitely a great player, he has a lot of Fred's game in him.

I was in a state of disbelief after he did that on Landry lol

[Eric]

So did coach do the postgame?

[shocker43]

We just aren't very good right now.

[SB Shock]

So did coach do the postgame?

Yes he did. He didn’t say much. Just gave props to Houston and said WSU didn’t match Houston toughness.

[kcshocker11]
