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.Comment

Made this same comment last night to people around me. Shaq was never in this bad a "shape". All our post guys can go for about 2 minutes hard (and I'm not picking on them, Mo asked to come out once after a couple of minutes and still busted his ass to sprint as hard as he could up and down one more time before a whistle allowed the substitution). Our bigs are a long way from being ready to go "at this level". And no, it's not our only problem right now.

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!Originally posted by ABC View PostComment

He didn't say it was "hurting" he said he was complaining about it. It could very well be psychosomatic. Heart "issues" can be funny that way.
A good stress test and echo, blood panel, a few rare congenital conditions to test for, no signs of fainting or exertion-induced chest pain and he's 99.99% good to go.
But once you get in your head that there's something wrong with your heart, it can be tricky to convince someone otherwise. The heart can be a weird and spooky little muscle when it starts skipping and jumping. The more anxiety you have just makes the symptoms worse. You've just gotta try and ignore it after receiving the all clear.

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

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."Originally posted by ShockerFever View Post
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.Comment

Are you really trying to compare Jacksonville State at home during finals before Christmas on a Wednesday night to a round of 32 HOME game in the NCAA tournament against a B1G program and SENIOR night for one of the hometown hero types who has his picture in the rafters? -
Wichita State is and always will be a major program. What you are referring to is our quality of play which you'd be correct in saying, kinda sucks. But we were a major program in the Valley and we're a major program in the AAC.
Part of what you see missing is the same thing I see missing at times, Play Angry (the other is execution). The separation between winning and losing college basketball teams is usually effort. Yes talent makes a big difference at the polar extremes, but effort bridges the talent gap amongst the top 75 every single night.

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.Last edited by SHOCKvalue; December 13, 2018, 12:16 PM.Comment

SHJ played more minutes than anyone. I wonder what 3g seesComment
-
WuDrWu there is good logic in that. It just seems to be there is a cap on this team with SHJ running the point. He is not a player who will make others around him better or set up the team to play good team ball. I would think getting Torres or Burton to the point where they can run the show would be a priority. Then SHJ could be shifted to more of an iso 2 guard, which would maximize his contributions.

It is past time for a change in the AD. Unfortunately, barring a major scandal this is unlikely. We need someone that can handle the "blocking and tackling" of running a department. There are plenty of funds development people that a competent manager could hire to raise money, shake hands and kiss babies.Wichita State, home of the All-Americans.Comment
