  • I would like to point out the situations when one our big guys set picks for SHJ. Does he not know what to do when this happens? I watch him over and over again totally ignore the fact that someone is setting a pick for him. He moves back and forth about 4 feet behind the screener, easily allowing his defender to stay with him. Then when he finally decides to go one way or the other, he doesn’t even come close to using the screener to rub off the defender. It’s head scratching at this point with his basketball experience.

    • Seriously. We played awful. And were about 5 or 6 plays away from winning a game against a team that doesn't lose at home.

      If we shoot.... 35%?? We win?

      Our defense is fine.

        There are just too many second shot opportunities and too many wide open looks for opponents to say that the defense is "fine." They are sure better, but they are not fine.

      JUCO.

      Again, I'm not sure what's going on at practice.

      • I keep thinking Erick is a shooter, and he keeps showing me that he is not.

          He’s been watching Jones too much... king of the air-ball.

          Shooter, yes. Maker, not so much.

        that was really strange, wasn't it?

          Coach Marshall would disagree. He just said this week that the defense is not very good, and it not going to get fixed this year. There are weaknesses That cannot be his and they are are getting exploited by WSU opponents.

            It's flawed, but was and has been good enough to win.

            • Cincy is talented, but more than that, they are very experienced. Someone mentioned that they only lose Jenifer, but Broome is a senior as well as the possibility of losing Cumberland, too.

              Freshmen on Cincy makes up 5.9% of their total minutes this year. Freshmen on WSU make up 45.9%.

              Cincy's upperclassmen make up 69.2% of their total minutes and WSU's make up 50.5%. However, Cincy's upperclassmen came into this season with 12 years of D-I experience. WSU's had only 4 years of D-I experience.

              Overall, Cincy had 15 years and WSU 5 years of D-I experience.....and you all know how many previous minutes SHJ and AM had last year. The rest is all MM.

              Cincy has been ranked this year and our Shocks took them to two 10 point difference games. The one at home had some real questionable calls (at best) that kept that game from being closer and possibly a win for WSU.

                Cincinnati is good... But we beat ourselves both games this year... You could say last year as well...

                I hear what you’re saying, but we did beat them in Cincinnati last year. The home loss giving them the championship was a killer... not sure we fully recovered from that loss.

              WSU is a flawed team. They sometime have enough offense to win, sometime they have enough defense to win. But they do not have enough O or D to win against Quadrant 1 teams (0-7).

              • My goals for this season:

                1. finish above .500 in conference and overall
                2. See mcduffie make it into the nba

                if we do those two things I’ll be alright.

                • There were some good things that happened today, like AM playing a solid game. Unfortunately, there were far too many bad things that continue to happen.

                    I want a CollegeInsider.com postseason invite so we can pay 50K to enter the tournament. You have to bloom where you're planted, right?

                      NCAA, NIT or nothing.

                  • The wonderful run we just went on started by getting to tournaments less than the NIT/NCAA. I see nothing wrong with this team getting more experience in a lesser tournament, likely against teams of a similar caliber.

                      We’re in a different place now. A home game against Wofford is not going to get us worthwhile experience when we’ve just gone through a slate of @ Cincy, @ Houston, @ UConn, etc. If the games are really going to be that worthwhile then we can just buy those same opponents next year and actually have the games contribute to a resume.

                      Yeah, we don't want to have to play a team like Marshall.

                  • My goals: 17 W's and win the post season tournament. We just have to find a way to give our
                    centers some support. NIT would be nice if we can't do that. If we can't do that I am fully behind
                    one of the lesser tournaments for a couple more home games and much needed experience.

                    • Do the CBI and College Insider even exist anymore? I'm pretty sure major schools don't participate in those things if they are still around. We won't be either.

                        They may not exist. I doubt they were making any money.
