WSU vs Cincinnati Pregame and Game Thread (conf. tourn.)

[RoyalShock]

Cinci also won't go 0-fer from the FT line in the 2nd half.

[Aargh]

I was going to put up a pic of a marshmallow and claim it was Echenique, but the guys got a bum wheel, so I'm going to back off of piling on just a bit.

So this is what it feels like to play a game where you’re on the receiving end of a massive free throw discrepancy. I only recall being on the nutkick side.

[Ashockalypse]

Cumberland is due to go off so we have to stop him again or he could deny us

[ShockerFever]

We've got them where we want them. Now all we have to do is play some good fundamental basketball and we should win easy.

lol

[Shocktoberfest]

Just need them to suck a little more than we do. We got this!!!!

[JVShocker]

You should give the locker room halftime speech...priceless!

[ShockerFever]

Cinci also won't go 0-fer from the FT line in the 2nd half.

If we keep fouling the same big maybe.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

Im not really one to make excuses for people but I’m pretty sure playing on Plantar Fascitis at the highest level (Amateur wise) with little no rest is probably pretty tough.

[Shocktoberfest]

I agree. And if that’s the case he should sit.

[ShockerFever]

I expect that gap to magically close in the 2nd.

[choida]

Maybe we will play better.. Cuz so far we have played average at best.. Let's see which team wants this more...

[wichshock65]

Still, so far, so good! (Just looking at the score, Royal)

[shoxilla]

SHOX in Memphis with all the BBQ playin #HANGRY !!!

[Shocktoberfest]

Free throw defense cannot let down. Gotta have this boys. 20 minutes!!!!

[shockerfan]

I expect that gap to magically close in the 2nd.

Probably. But the fouls were 7 vs 5. They just fouled shooters more. 2 times they fouled McDuffie on a 3. That is 6 freethrows on 2 fouls right there.

Add to it they are just flat out playing harder on defense then we are and it explains a lot.

Cincy is getting good looks, just not making them. Hopefully that continues.

What can Cronin possibly tell his team at half. MAKE YOUR D*MN FREE THROWS.

Sounds like a coach’ show question
