Wichita State vs Jacksonville State Game Thread

[SHOCKvalue]

Did anyone see that it took them like four times last night to get the Houston-LSU score formatted and updated correctly, when they were putting up games of interest scores on the board? I openly laughed at the incompetence.

Another moment had Don Hall on PA, unrelated commercial on the board, and a recorded song going... all at the same time.

Core competencies, as the private sector might say. LolzwtfutalkinboutWillis, as the WSU AD might say.

It’s just everything about their ability to manage an event properly. Pure clown show.

Or he's losing his self control which is not good for the players and assistants to see.

DB should be JB.

I've said it on here before and I will say it again. We have not been the same program since Cle left. We are having different level problems this year but we desperately need a "dude" in this program to rally around.

And this is a high major Division I basketball program.

Please nobody take this the wrong way, but Wichita State is not a high major D1 basketball program right now. I would probably say last season we were a high top-tier mid-major program. We had personnel, but we lacked some game execution, we lacked strong defense. There are other things the program lacked which you only see if you attend a home game that knock us down a notch from being high-major. The in-game production from the non-basketball side, is one of the worst things I've ever seen, especially if you've ever watched a home game on TV. It's borderline sleepy-time "everyone go to your phone now, because nothing is happening for the next 3 minutes during this time-out."

I really miss the way things used to be. Koch arena was a place to be feared, nobody would play us here. It was loud, deafening loud, and nearly all of it has been lost on the "commercialization" of the program. The band is so poorly utilized, they might as well stay home. Empty seats you say? Well, going to Shocker games used to be an experience. It was fun and exciting, but so much of it has disappeared. Now teams come in here and there's nothing to be afraid of. We're at the point where we have difficulty winning home games now.

Make no mistake about it, WSU has lost something - its not the same program it was 3-10 years ago. Our fan base (myself included) now questions whether or not we can even beat a Jacksonville State in our home arena, which was completely unheard of a few years ago. All of these are wins - they're after-thoughts. And no, we aren't spoiled, and it's not right for a coach to say that, even if he's destined for HOF status. But as fans and students of the game we expect and are used to seeing more than what we're getting. Anybody here remember a game we played against Iowa many, many many years ago? THAT was a loud game, especially from the upper tiers. Were we spoiled that night? Or, was I spoiled when I sat center court 15 rows up to watch AC get the single game scoring record on senior night? It was loud then, too. The players and atmosphere played a significant role in making the players feel special, and right now, I think in-game policy is just not giving the program the boost it desperately needs. Believe it or not, it's not always about the money.

… and it was checked out by a doctor and he's as healthy as a horse...

The entire team needs to get physically stronger and go on the Rashard Kelly diet.

I haven't heard Marshall this downbeat in a post-game interview in a while. He mentioned JE not being able to play for any long stretches because he gets tired. GM seemed perplexed by JE's stamina. I am surprised no one else mentioned this yet.

Yeah, he said(which surprised me)that JE complains about his heart hurting....

On TV, he sounded a bit exasperated and pissed. Sounded like he tossed the headphones on the table after the postgame interview. The fires burn slow and hot. Good to see!

I can understand why this is so hard
