WSU vs. Houston in the AAC Tournament Game Thread

[Shox The Revenant]

Well, we can clearly see a step up in leagues is going to require us recruiting more athletic players. Austin, gosh bless him, simply isn't quick enough. I'm glad we're still within shouting distance after that fiasco of a first half but credit Houston's defense, they're pretty freakin' good at it.

4 turnovers in the first 8 minutes, 2 in the last 12.

I believe Haynes-Jones has moved behind Midtgaard in the rotation.

In the pregame, the guys said he doesn't know the plays

Indeed, Houston’s defense has been very good...but, we are making it look a LOT better than it is. And our defense has been awful. We are just too slow.

[SHOXAAC]

Listening to Marshall always makes me feel better.

BS...Marshall talking about if Nurger makes one or both of his 3-pointers...please! Even Gregg is having an off game.

I wish I knew what was going on with Nurger's shot. 1st half of the year he would've made at least one of those.

Shocks are within striking distance after a poor 1st half as 3G just described it. We shot 27 percent from the field and could be down double digits right now. We have been talking until we are red in the face about our quality depth and we hope to play on selection Sunday for the gold. To do so, the Shocks need Shaq back who got splinters with foul issues in the 1st half. These teams are pretty evenly matched but the Shocks are who I picked to win and I still believe they will.

At least when AR gets beat, he recovers half the time without fouling

[ShockerFever]

**** you Nurger

How do people get banned around here?

That’s not quite what they said. They said that HCGM has a complicated system and that SHJ’s is a different kind of style.

[pinstripers]

I beg to differ

[asiseeit]

Why put it all on one guy? Tell me WHO had a decent first half?

[60Shock]

Another game in which we go 5 minutes without making a FG. Thankfully, we have a high percentage of our FT's.

[shoxlax]

Not that I am hoping for a loss but:

1. Gives us another day of rest;
2. One less game to get injured in
3. Sounds like we won’t be anywhere near Wichita regardless
4. Gives me a free Sunday

I agree. That was weak.

If Nurger is a 40% 3 pt shooter than let him fire 5 or 6 3's a game.

He he knows the plays for #4

[proshox]

Last possession we finally play three guards and Nurger shoots! You have to be kidding
