Wichita State vs Lipscomb (NIT Semifinal)

[shockerfan]

Not happy with the play down the stretch. But all things considered it was a good run.

Looking forward to taking another step forward with these young guys next year!

[Stickboy46]

Well that happens when your young. Hope they learn from this

It wasn't the youth that lost the lead

[pie n eye]

Never thought I’d see a Shocker team close the season so poorly. Sad.

??? We ended by going 14-4 (?) and making the semis of the NIT. If you’re talking about the game itself did you not watch the Miami, Notre Dame, Marshall NCAA tourney games?

[JVShocker]

Maybe they meant selfish play. 9-31.

[Shock Top]

In the last game, I meant. They grew beautifully in that stretch of games, but looked like the team before that run tonight.

[ShockerFever]

Well that happens when your young. Hope they learn from this

The youth did not cost us this game.

[IndianaShocker]

They sure didn't win it....And none of them could really check Matthews

[SHOCKvalue]

Like someone said, the 5 second possessions capped by a stupid prayer shot when we were up 11 and just a few minutes left in the game is what nuked this. So, so stupid. No idea WTF they were thinking.

[ShockerFever]

Nope

Yep.

[Maizerunner08]

Thanks for the memories Shox! Thank you MM and SHJ. It was a roller coaster season, fun none-the-less. Is it October yet?

5-23 from 3 and we had a size advantage

[proshox]

In heigh only. Our bigs were pushed around throughout, outran down the court, and when they had an advantage the help defense scrapped it away.

[Aargh]

Inexperience really hurt us tonight. Can't wait for next October.

The experienced guys are the ones who choked away the lead.

[IndianaShocker]

Yea they were terrible, but the young babies put their diapers back on the last 6 minutes. Burton wide open layup, terrible in bounds pass; DD missed a couple open looks, looked JE off, then had his little showdown with JE, & threw a **** pass to ES causing him to step out; JE got in DD's grill then had the worst post iso possession I've seen in ages

[proshox]

IndianaShocker - those facts do not fit the shockernet narrative. The biggest problem in this game versus the overall finish to the season was that out bigs were clearly outplayed.

[Kung Wu]

Yep.

Nope

[ShockerFever]

Nope

lol. Ok, how did we lose the game then? Because Dexter Dennis didn't give JE the basketball?

[WichitaStateGuy]

Dude is an idiot. Troll.

[N Crestway]

Yep.

Nope.

[60Shock]

Honest to God a better team without SHJ.

If it wasn't for SHJ, we would have lost this game by another 10-15 points and would never have been in it.

[JVShocker]

I don't know if that's a fair statement. An opinion, yes, but not exactly true unless you could go back in time.

[WichitaStateGuy]

Wtf are you talking about. Do you even basketball? You fan very poorly.

[60Shock]

JVS1, Perhaps, you hadn't noticed, but there is one hell of a lot more unsubstantiated opinions on this board, than there are facts presented, especially after a loss, and posters are desperate to place the blame on one or more players.

[TheShocktocles]

After going up by 11 we were outscored 21-3. We choked.

Totally agree. Got the lead and come down and take stupid shots. Not once did we go to the cup. And when they gave it to JE he played with his head up his butt. Overall a good season but this is no way to lose. I knew MM was not going to have a good game close to home. He never does.

[Topshock]

Providence game in Maryland.

[wichshock65]

It was a great run.

NEXT. YEAR. WILL. BE. KICKASS.

Proud of our boys!
