Official #17 Wichita State vs Tulsa Game Thread

If Henderson is in the habit of trash talking opposing team benches, there was more than PT working against his having a successful career at WSU.

The ball also stops when it makes it to him. He only has 23 assists all year in 551 min played. By comparison: Shaq has 27 in 450 min. Landry has 109 in 636. Willis has 20 in 406 min.

If you're a starting guard and you're getting out-assisted by Machine Gun Willis, you might want to reassess.

I'd go so far and say Austin is better at playing the passing lanes than just about anyone on our team. I'd put AR, MM and Rashard as top 3.

In conference games, here are steals per 100 possessions.

	Stl/100 poss
Keyser	3.6
Kelly	2.2
McDuffie	2.1
Frankamp	1.9
Reaves	1.9
Nurger	1.4
Brown	1.4
Shamet	1
Morris	0.9
Haynes-Jones	0.7
Barney	0
Willis	0

Let's take this a little further. Corey had only 6 assists in 191 minutes in his year with the Shocks. CJ, as a 2/3, has 9 assists this year in 85 minutes.

I recall GGG mentioning in a coach's show that Henderson was going to have to learn more than "dribble between your legs, step back and shoot a three" to play Shocker basketball. He didn't and he isn't. No hard feelings, but also giving him no quarter. Ty Taylor, who I did feel got a raw deal, also has not mastered the art of not shooting every time he touches the ball at his next stop.

And both are putting up large PPG numbers now .... on teams at or below .500.

Don't forget Ria'n Holland, averaging 19 ppg at Mercer. Who are 3 guys that would thrive at Evansville?

Ria’n Holland actually turned out to be a solid player. His assist rate is 21 vs 11 and 8 for Taylor and Henderson. Holland’s steal % is 3.4. Highest on our team this year is CJ Keyser at 2.6.

Some one asked me if there was anything on SN about anyone being upset that GM did not insert Conner more often to give him more chances to keep his streak alive. I told him I had seen nothing on here but I told him "He had many opportunities when he was in and couldn't do it then"

I thought CF looked pale as hell. He had the flu, didn't he? May not be back to 100%

[pinstripers]

Agree with the post earlier saying the 'You Still Suck' chant needs to go away-- ESPECIALLY when directed at a former Shocker.

Come on students,: you guys are great but that needs to stop.

I like it............big surprise

Agree. Holland is legit. It may not have worked out here, or it may have. But he is having a great career at Mercer, and good for him.

I will say, perhaps if Mr. Henderson had shown as much interest in sticking it to his old coach back when he was his coach, Mr. Henderson might still be playing for a Top 20 team. I get the impression Marshall loves nothing more than to have one of his players use their on-court performance to tell him to shove it. Hence the button-pushing.

Wichita State is ranked # 16 this week. Not # 17 .That was last week. The Shockers moved up 1 spot.

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Dude. The thread was started--and the game was played--when we were still #17.

[Shocker-maniac]

True, but I took the post to be like a PSA to make sure we were all up to date on recent events :)

Hell of a fourth post, friend.

I wasn't aware that correcting a mistake was wrong
