Wichita State vs Cincinnati Game Thread

[Dan]

They are all learning on the fly. I just wish he would be able to do more in the time he’s in there. Some games he’s just not a threat at all offensively. We need more guys stepping g up and trying to make things happen rather than just looking for someone else on the wing to pass the ball to.

I'm not sure I believe that one. These refs were clowns but I'd find it hard to believe he got T'ed up just for that.

ES probably deserved the T. The Cincy player that shoved him deserved one also. You break that up by grabbing your own man, not shoving the other team

[proshox]

First, he wasn’t terrible. Second, the evaluation of a young big isn’t necessarily based on early returns.

Frankly, if the Bearcats were OUR team, I'd love them...they are tenacious on
defense...

[molly jabali]

Cumberland HAD to have baited Stevenson, and Eric took the bait...saw the whole thing in front of me...

The BIGGER issue I had was the SAME ref jawing at Markis on the free throw line earlier...

Whew!! Now that was ugly as most Bearcats games go. Did not think the bearcats needed all the help they got on calls on our own home court, but I digress. Our rebounding was subpar and I agree at least part of the reason was DD and JE foul issues. Cinn. played a nasty zone that bugged us at times. Have not seen the rebound totals yet, but with that and all of the ongoing fouls called on us was to much to overcome. Too bad we got t'd up twice, and I was concerned 3G was going to get another one. Back to the drawing board. The Shocks played hard but the execution we had last game was just not as consistent.

Too many youthful mistakes to win a game like this but I don't think we ever backed down, not once.

I don't care if the numbers were reversed, 35-7 doesn't work in any game.

Finally, there's no I in team but there is an AM.

It didn't motivate the team. They still lost by the same amount of points (I think) that they were behind after the technicals. And they continued to make mistakes.

[TheShocktocles]

We just dont make enough plays on offense.

I am so happy that my shocker brothers and sister see the same thing I see. It's let's me know that I am seeing the game correctly. First half shocks had a lead and came down and comitted 5 consecutive turnovers.

[1979Shocker]

He didn't say much. He said the players stood around too much on offense.

[TheShocktocles]

A team led by seniors and juniors. I don't think any of their freshmen play meaningful minutes.

Ding ding ding ding. We have a winner.

[another shocker]

marshall was totally right to get a technical. i expected it to happen. i don't always agree with that "get a tech to motivate" story, but here i do.

gotta' show that you fight for your guys over the little napoleans.

[TheShocktocles]

May be the worst free throw disparity I’ve ever heard of. They are either that much better than us, that much smarter or that much quicker—-or the refereeing is revolting.

Well the worst free throw disparity I know of for the shockers is Kemba Walker and UCONN 35 free throws to our 7. I might have the exact numbers wrong. But that's a game where we clearly cheated.

[ShockerFever]

Did coach talk after the game? I missed it if so

I know he’s only missed one.

He made it to the radio within 2 minutes of the final horn.

Guys, thanks for the updates. Really appreciate it. Just wish there was better news—-there will be soon.
