Tulsa @ WSU Game Thread

[wusphlash]

Jaime threw up some ugly ones but I'll take 50% shooting most any night. Especially when he makes his free throws.
Eric really likes physical play. One day he'll learn to do it without fouling. That type of hustle is contagious.
Another good game by Jamarius (with the exception of the atomic bomb inbounds pass). Eric said he had been in the gym shooting. Maybe Jamarius has joined him. Just the threat of a 3 point shot will help his dribble drive game.
Didn't Dexter dunk the last game as well. I was beginning to think his dunk game was an urban legend. Still gets silly fouls.
Who hit Asbjorn? Tulsa or was it friendly fire.

I sure hope we can take some of this momentum on the road.

tulsa hit him.

[Jeffrey Korchek]

I haven’t seen anyone else say (maybe someone did), but it seemed really apparent that Samajae’s leg was really hurting him. *Most* of his shots were decent looks, but he couldn’t get lift from his legs, he seemed a bit slow on defense (but still did pretty good!), and he just wasn’t as quick with his juke moves. Yeah, sometimes he just had bad games, but I think he was hurting today. Was really working his left shoulder toward the end of the game too, although maybe that was just for show since he’d been missing all his shots.

[WstateU]

He did the shoulder thing after making a couple of free throws; was thinking the same thing... he was doing it for “show”. Still thought he played hard today with a bum leg. Marshall trusts him, so I’ll just shut my trap. :)

[wusphlash]

He had a wrap on one calf. It seemed to be bothering him during pre-game warmups. That time of year when guys are dinged up.

[1979Shocker]

I thought they said in the last game that it was just a leg cramp.

[shock-it-to-me]

MM can be spastic, but holy poo can you imagine where we’d be this year without his offensive production?

”Hide yo wife... hide yo keedz...”

Can you Imagine where we would be without Landry, Reeves, Keyser, Lomax, and Nurger? Uh, yes.

Kennedy said Frank Haith was livid with DD's breakaway dunk at the end lol. Have a tissue

We did it for the NET.

But seriously, cry me a freaking river. His momentum carried him all the way to the basket. There was little bush in that at all. STFU Franky.

I don't get the big deal. I don't care if other teams do it to us. Don't like it? Defend better

One of the great mysteries of life is Hauth having coached st THREE pretty good basketball schools, when one would have been too many....

The only other team in the AAC that would even come close to averaging 10k in a .500 or worse season would be Cincinnati. And none of them are as boisterous even with a capacity crowd.

[TheShocktocles]

Does anyone know why both coaching staffs and the cheerleaders were all wearing green today? All coaches that wore suits had green ties. The cheerleaders had green ribbons.

[DUShock]

I asked the same thing early on page 1 of this thread. I saw a blurb on the jumbotron but was tuned out talking the usual pregame chatter with my seat mates.

[wufan]

It’s for literacy

Let’s me lick his tears. Poor Tulsa, your tears are delicious.

100% of college players are dunking that ball. Haith can SMD.

[WeWillShockU]

Frank was probably livid at his own players for that atomic bomb!

[BOBB]

Big maturity play for me: Burton grabs the offensive rebound under 2 minutes left and instead of going back up with it kicks it out for a fresh shot clock. That is how you close out games.
