Wichita State at Cincinnati Game Thread

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

My observations:

-One bad stretch to end the half did the team in. Other than that it was a decent effort on the road against a very good team.

-Seth Greenberg is obviously friends with Cronin. Get a room, jeez.

-Cumberland is a punk.

-SHJ does nothing to get the ball in to the post. It’s so frustrating.

-Awesome game from Dennis.

I thought we played a pretty good game defensively.

Our offense became a mess when we couldn't take advantage of mismatches by passing it into the post. When we couldn't crack their switching defense, we were anemic on offense.

[kcshocker11]

Passing is what beat us in this game. I liked how we never gave up though.

[MadDog]

Not having AAC level guard talent is what lost the game. I’m thinking Cumberland scored twice as many points as our four guards (SHJ, RT, JB, and ES) combined. He scored at will on our guards.

Experience and talent are not the same thing

[ShockTalk]

You mean like "Cumberland has 2 times the D-I experience of all 4 of our guards combined" not the same thing?

[1972Shocker]

Perhaps both experience and talent are involved. There can be a mix of both. Cumbrland's natural size and strength certainly come into play and no doubt have been enhanced by experience. Perhaps simply part of his talent.

Stat of the Day:
Wichita State's Dexter Dennis (14 pts, 13 reb at Cincy) posted the first double-double by a Shocker freshman in 11 years. J.T. Durley was the last to do it. Dennis' 13 boards were the most for a rookie since Jamar Howard (Dec. 2001). #watchus | @wsu_aftershocks

Cumberland is a punk I'd like to have 5 of.....

[WuShock16]

Yeah, he's pretty much a grown-@$$ man. I too would take multiple hims on our squad.

Coach Marshall mentioned on the coaches show that Cincinnati plays 'nasty' and he wants us to play the same. Not play dirty, but 'nasty'. He kept walking by JE on the bench and threw in a few comments about how nasty Cincinnati was playing. JE went back in and started rebounding like a madman... coach Marshall pushed the right buttons.

Play Nasty = Play Angry

[shockrah]

I'll take 5 McDuffies, If just to watch Mick's anti-duff defense implode!

Cumberland is a great college basketball player. Every Shocker fan would love him if he were here.

[molly jabali]

Meh...

I understand 'meh', but I ALSO think, his 'scowls' for THEM we would see as 'intensity' for US
