Wichita State at Memphis Game Thread

[ShockerFever]

The seniors play in this game is just effing horrible. WTF I knew this was going to be bad when McDuffie open the game with a dumb off balance shot. Every game there is 5 minutes of dumb play by the shockers. It is that 5 minutes where they fall apart.

That's the thing. The seniors continually have worse stretches and decision-making than any freshmen out there. But yet there they are gobbling up all the minutes. Loyalty is a nice asset to have but it is also one of Marshall's worst flaws. They literally have free reign to do whatever the **** they want out there because they know Marshall won't pull them.

And you see the results.

We have a much better chance to win games like this without our seniors. MM is honestly reaching an SHJ level of play and basketball IQ.

Oh and Memphis isn’t good, we just suck and by the way we are trying to break a press, I question our coaching.

[Blackmag]

We have zero leadership on this team, the seniors we have are really nothing more than complimentary players. Nobody you can depend on. We have no point guard and little inside game. All we do is foul and miss 3 pointers.

'time for marshall to rally the troops to show some pride. **** the scoreboard, **** the hicks, just show some pride.

I hope 3.5M ggg can get the train back on the rails in the second half.

Ya'll are crazy. You do realize that not only is Markis our leading scorer, he's our most efficient player this season? Or how about the fact he also has the lowest t/o rate? Stop focusing on the bad with certain players cause you don't like them, it leads to confirmation bias. But yes let's bench our best player who has a chance to make the league(yes he's on the boards) that should really resonate well with recruits.

And he’s a SENIOR who isn’t leading or playing like a SENIOR (yes, he was overhyped as well). I don’t think there is anyone here who “doesn’t like” MM...that’s ridiculous. We’d all like to Love him if he would realize his potential and be the senior leader that he is supposed to be.

[ShockCrazy]

And yet he still is more efficient on offense than everyone else which covers that... Weird.

[ShockerFever]

I don’t know how far back in time you have to find a Shocker team this poor. Maybe pre-MT...


I think our Kenpom efficiency metrics are about to crash to the bottom half of the NCAA’s.

When was the last time a Shocker team had 11 newcomers and 8 freshmen in a season?

So is this just youth? Talent? Coaching? All the above?

You comment has some merit, but regarding turnovers - how many fade away twisting pansy shots have been put up by him this year? Those are essentially turnovers.

He's having a great game, Mike K.

And yes, I have noticed MK’s “tone” before as well...and not liked it. I admit that there is probably nobody on earth who knows more about Shocker basketball and its history than MK. But sometimes I really wish we had an alternative voice.
