Wichita State vs. Omaha (Nebraska) Game Thread

Stevenson will be more like Baker when/if he starts playing with a Baker-like attitude.

I almost never post during games. I get amused by some of you who are so spontaneously critical during the games and even
shortly after. And some are very quick to suggest a couple players will be gone to the draft after couple years. Our center
position was a team strength last season and will be again. AM didn't have a good game on offense but was one of three who
kept Pike in check and his screens were being used constantly. ES does most everything pretty well and I'll buy his
unwanted shares also. He will have nights where his shot will be on and lead the team in scoring to go along with his complete
floor game. What I like most so far about this team is defense and taking care of the ball. I don't believe we will be a team of
just a couple stars. We are pretty solid eight deep and maybe ten when a couple more are healthy.

Taylor Eldridge: How Trey Wade, an undersized juco transfer, has become the Shockers’ ‘savior’

Marshall has stressed to his inexperienced team that the route to more victories isn’t by making more spectacular plays, rather it’s by making fewer mistakes. No player better personifies what Marshall is looking for right now better than Wade, the 6-foot-6, 219-pound junior-college transfer WSU assistant coach Lou Gudino helped snag to replace Markis McDuffie at power forward.

In short, Wade’s game does not have a shortcoming.

Wade is no more "undersized" than Colson was for the Irish 2 years ago. So glad he is a Shocker.

Who was the double/double debut guy for the Shocks 2 decades ago (98?)?

Shout out to the students... thought they were solid last night. There appears to be some organization and new chants...

Totally agree. It was refreshing to see.

The last player to post a double-double in his first game as a Shocker was also a JUCO transfer. O.J. Robinson put up 13 and 11 in his debut against McNeese State on Nov. 19, 1999.

What are the chances anyone could pull that one out their memory banks? I certainly could not. It was in the goShockers.com game write-up.

With all due respect to O.J. my guess is that Trey will have a much bigger impact on WSU basketball in his time as a Shocker.

For reference, I believe this was the same timeframe that many were awed by Duke Tshomba.

Pretty close. Duke played in the 2000-01 and the 2001-02 seasons. Duke did play 4 seasons overseas. 3 in Belgium and 1 in Germany.

What was Duke's most productive season with the Shocks (pts/rbs)?

Here is Duke's WSU stats: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/duke-tshomba-1.html

Note that Duke only played 11 games as a senior. I'm trying to remember what happened to him. Maybe it was a knee injury but I do not recall for sure. Maybe wufan or someone else remembers.

BTW, here are O.J. Robinson's WSU stats: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb...obinson-1.html

Wow, most names at least trigger an "oh yeah" memory, but OJ Robinson had me going blank like I was on the witness stand.
