We played bad but the officiating completely took us out of the game. I know that is a bad take but college bb has rules against the hand checking/body checking that was occurring with havoc d. Burton grew up a bit today. Growing pains! Go shocks!

Wouldn’t win the mvc but would be top half. We are only gonna beat Tulane. Maybe.
Still though it’s way better to be in the number 7 conference and having a tough time than being in the number 13 conference and being left behind by college basketball someday.
it’s been 10 years since we had a down year. It’s fine. That’s why all along, the long time shocker fans kept saying enjoy the ride. It’s never permanent. Neither is losing.

A series of unfortunate events. Dexter Dennis being out. Losing Echenique. Then you have the refs allowing one side to play stingy defense and then call tacky fouls on the other. This caused our guys to sit for long stretches, then play timid on D and play erratically on offense. hopefully Jaimie heals up fast. Boy do we need him.
Shake it off Shocker fanatics. Have a merry Christmas and then let’s stick it to Memphis.

People are seriously overreacting though. We had 3 unexpected player losses in the offseason. We lost a HUGE senior class. We have near double-digit players on our team that was playing high school basketball 9 months ago.
We've had an amazing run with Marshall at the helm. You can't expect to win 25+ games EVERY year. Hiccups happen. And considering the roster turnover, this was to be expected. Anybody thinking there's major problems right now are just spoiled and not realistic.
Gonzaga was a 12 seed and needed to win their conference tourney a few years ago just to make it to the tournament. UK missed the tournament after a freaking National Championship. Indiana and UCLA have been irrelevant on the national landscape for a while now.
Just chill the hell out.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

I honestly would not care if we recruited another couple players if we can find some guys that are well rounded basketball players.

Originally posted by Shox The Revenant View Post3 hours ago, we had folks saying VCU can't shoot and this team has turned the corner. Like I said, J-Ville, ORU and So Miss was fools gold and some of you got suckered hook line and sinker. We're the 5th most inexperienced/youngest team in the NCAA. We are going to struggle with the occasional glimpse of good basketball. We'll be luck if we finish .500
