Now THAT was a nice pass by GS #S2!

This game has become ugly, ugly, ugly.

[Mr. Pickle]

Upper half of the student section should permanently become GA.

GW shooting 53% from 3.

Trailing by 23.

I'm going to bore many on this fine forum throughout the year, but I really, really like the way this team plays.

Together, hustle, effort, passion. This is a really fun team to watch and support.

[Dan]

We’re so much better than last year.

[NCAABound]

Lol students doing "nuts and bolts" chant. We did that in high school 25 years ago and the entire section got booted from game.

[Shocker_Power]

GW shooting 53% from 3.

Isn't that kind of the story of our lives?

[Mr. Pickle]

I love this team's unselfishness. The guys seem to genuinely enjoy playing with each other. Our defense is fantastic also.

[Kung Wu]

Butt whoopin!

GW was a lot better team than what the Shocks let them show tonight. Dennis didn’t stuff the stat sheet tonight, but he still looked good and helped us win.

Burton, Stevenson, and Udeze looked great!

Walk-ons played like walk-ons. Shocks ended up with 11 turnovers thanks to the 2 late by Tate. 3-point shooting wasn't great at 9-29 (31%). 16 assists on 27 shots was solid.

Generally thought the defense was generally very good although gave up a lot of wide open looks from behind the arc.

Overall a good solid effort but enough there that 3G can get their attention when the study the game film.

Really looking forward to how the team shapes up once Jaime is available.

giving guys breathers

Or setting knockout screens.

[1972Shocker]

4 guys in double figures and Etienne with 8.

[TheShocktocles]

will Dex go off in 2nd half...?
Yes, if he wants to...

I think Dex is pressing a little bit with rushing his 3 point shooting. Why?. Because he has established himself as an excellent 3 point shooter and the other teams are concetrating on stopping that. No way if I am the other team if I am going to let DD shoot 3 pointers. I was glad to see him take it to the cup and shoot his midrange shot. Once he does this more often he will get better 3 point shots. Overall nice win for the shocks. Keep grinding.

Will get an update on Jaime tomorrow. Might be available Saturday but coach doesn't want to rush him. Said he has stayed well conditioned.
