Those stats don't seem to add up. 7 more assists, 7 more rebounds, 2 more steals, 1 more block, 2 fewer turnovers. 47 to 41% overall. (Yeah 3% FT% and total but still). Seems to point to a bigger margin.

[Rosewood]

That FT disparity explains how this game was close.

[GreatWhiteBuffalo]

Signing off for the night. I sure hope this team can figure out how to not allow huge runs with such frequency...preferably before Sunday.

[Kung Wu]

Road games are hard. Well done Shox!

[shoxlax]

Was Bob Hull watching the same game?

[bunck]

Only 7 turnovers in 45 minutes.

[Stickboy46]

Only because our poor shot selection doesn't officially count as a turnover

[kcshocker11]

Great road win Go Shockers! Go Tulane!

[shoxlax]

I’m starting to think Don Hall and Bob Hull should room at Catholic Care Center together

[ShockTalk]

Had to leave the TV before I broke it. Started following the game here and the box score off and on. Didn't want to have to ban myself, too.

[DUShock]

I am afraid to say that I was cursing a time or three tonight. I do better listening rather than watching.

[ShockTalk]

You, me, and Fev would be a trio to be around during a game.

Nurger only 4 minutes, Shaq 39..........Kelly & Shaq 9 boards.......FT 7-12 & 15-23

[Dan]

Nurger’s been aweful winding down his senior campaign

[Hurley]

I'm not sure I've been that pissed or frustrated in a game. Refs were frigging terrible. We won 5 vs 8.

[wusphlash]

Goal tending, double dribbles, banked in threes, what the hell, we won. Come on Tulane.

[asiseeit]

I was screaming to foul with 12 seconds left in regulation at half court up three. Don't understand
why they didn't. Great game by CONNER ! Was yelling no no no on DW's fade away and then YES !
He was big down the stretch. Another very good game by SM and LS also. MM/ZB good D. Lots
of contributors on BOTH ends of the court.

[AndShock]

Fouling with 10+ seconds left is the worst possible decision you could make. When you foul up 3 it’s supposed to be on their last possession of the game.

[DUShock]

I even posted (twice actually) to "Foul under 30" and then to "Foul". UCF is the worst FT shooting team in the conference. I say do it under 30 ideally with 20 or so remaining.

[pinstripers]

What's with Thompson blatantly cheering for UCF?

[AndShock]

He cheers against WSU every game for some unknown reason.

[ShockerDropOut]

Even my wife commented on this and she has never read a word on this board to be biased one way or the other. She asked me, "Why does John Thompson hate WSU?"

Where would we be without Shaq over the last 5 games. 4 30+ minute games during those 5, 20 ppg, and just under 9 rebounds pg.

He's become who we thought he was.
