Exactly!!!!! We started to bring a screener and i yelled “no” loud enough to wake up my wife at home. Thank god the coaches realized SHJ had the perfect scenario there.

Happy to take advantage of tickets by someone who thought 9:00 was too late tonight.

The crowd was excellent.

The team brought it. Every one of them. It was a great, great win. Lots of smiley faces exiting. People were screaming Go Shox in the parking lot like we won the National Championship tonight.

God, we needed that. It felt great. Glad for the team.

Let's make it two on Saturday.

We can beat anyone in the league if we play like that.

Dude, on point one i have been with you.

3G with some moves

Remember this time last year SHJ was having trouble just playing due to an anxiety disorder. You have to be happy for him because tonight he was feeling good and having fun. Admittedly at times he was out of control...but it is what it is. Don't worry, Marshall will still be on him to fix it.

[proshox]

Exactly. That worked.

[WuDrWu]

Can't "and one" this enough. Just fantastic.

Great game, most complete game in a long time. So proud of the players the way they fought through the whole game. Now let’s make it two in a row

While we also beat UCF last Season twice with our 6 Seniors and NBA LS, they had no Tacko or Dawkins playing but still played tough D. in those games as I recall.. UCF is one of the best Defending teams in this AAC this Season for sure and BJ Taylor and Dawkins are for real. Thus, the Shocks defeating them tonight I hope is a for-taste of a ray of hope within reason of a young Shocker team that can keep improving. It's not always how you start, as strong finishes are a breath of fresh air in the game of Hoops.

First time all season my ears are ringing. The crowd brought it tonight!

[Shocktoberfest]

Hope to hear from those there...but that crowd was really, really loud - at least through my flat screen speakers. Damn loud!

MM hit some big time shots. Major league big time...the 4 point play was crucial.

SHJ with a clutch - sit down, shut up - shot to seal it.

Do not forget DD with a major league offensive rebound off SHJ's miss in crunch time. He just flat went up and snared it. Then hits two pressure FT's at the end too.

I thought JB looked very in control at the point. After tonight, RT will get some minutes, but the torch has been passed.

Could not be happier for AM. Amazing what persistence and a positive attitude can accomplish. Hope MK has him on for star of the game.

That is all.

Tacko Fall is a novelty and not much more. One of the most overhyped players nationwide currently. Dude does what you’d expect his circus sideshow frame to do, and nothing else. Other than being a human wall and ball rejector, he’s barely a basketball player otherwise. A basketball version of GoT’s Hodor.

Meh...

Pretty much agree with you...but, I still wouldn't mind having him on our team.

[1972Shocker]

I really hope that AM turns a corner with this and it's not just a case of it being a perfect matchup for him.

Hopefully, it proves to be an inflection point for the entire team. Now that they have show they can do it once can they show they wash, rinse and repeat consistently?

[Shocktoberfest]

Laying in bed typing now with the first ringing in my ears this season. The crowd brought it tonight!
