The Official Shocks vs. Colorado Game Thread - Puerto Rican Style

Thanks everybody for keeping me updated.

It's the least we can do for our recruiting guru.

Also, what happened to the BEAST? Hope he has a better game tomorrow

Drives me nuts that we let a team with mediocre guards even get comfortable in the half court. We did the same thing last year when SIU beat us.

I love HCGM but why do we do this? You saw what happened the one play we turned up the intensity full court. Saving our legs or what?

I don't claim to know Marshall's philosophies, but I think he wanted to 1. keep players fresh and 2. keep some secrets for Alabama.

Game time tomororw is 9 p.m. Central on ESPN II.

Is the ESPN2 game confirmed? I didn't think the 2nd game was going to be on tv at all..

Not all that surprising he struggled a bit considering its his first game against a legit D-1 team

See coach HC3GM is like 20 steps ahead of you. He intentionally lost to SIU so that we could win the NIT and get all of that extra TV exposure instead of going out like Indiana State in the first round. He needed that exposure to seal the deal on the best recruiting class since 1895.

All is not what it would seem. But all is according to the plan, man.

Big kudos to Toure. Played much better than I would have expected tonight considering he is not 100% yet and no doubt is still knocking off some rust and working on regaining his conditioning.

Again, 8:00 gametime and that was true if we would have lost the game. The Colorado-Maryland game tomorrow is on ESPN3. We're on the Deuce.

ESPN planned this for the winners, regardless WSU is in it or not

That's some funny shat. Who was our big man we signed in 1895? I think he may have been better than Early.

I think the line on WSU/Bama just changed by 5 points - and not towards WSU.

I thought CU was better than most people thought, and part of the Shox looking bad was CU's D. 'Bama will be a new game and a different game, but they looked better than the Shox today.

No way ESPN passes on televising a NIT Championship rematch.

Well we want a marquee game and we got it tomorrow! Go Shoxs!:pirate:

What's the over/under on how many more free throws Bama shoots than us?
