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

Is toure injured again? Haven't seen him in a while

Pretty sure he reinjured his rib injury last night running into the scorers table.

2 fouls. Can't have him pick up a 3rd.

Ah wow, missed that he got his second.

[wsushox1]

Almost all the UA production (27 points) from Mitchell, Green and Releford.

Poorly? I don't think that's fair. These guys are REALLY good. We've done a lot right. Yes, there's a lot to improve upon, but the guys are playing very hard right now. This is a winnable game.

We did play poorly mentally. There were quite a few bad mistakes that a veteran team like ours shouldn't be making if we want to compete against top 15 teams.

[1979Shocker]

Well, we were only 1-4 at the line, but if we make those 3, then it's tied at half.

Imagine the intensity of this halftime speech. I would hate to be a fly on the wall because I think the ferocity would melt me off it.

On this garbage floor, I've reevaluated my goals for the team. If we can get out of this tournament with two wins and no injuries I will be happy.

How does that ref miss the three ball?

We need to wear Releford down. He is their only ball handler.

Foul situation is a little scary though. Not terminal but fouls in a game like this can be a killer.

[1979Shocker]

I was listening to the halftime show with Mike Kennedy and it cut out for about a minute. I guess that phone line from Wichita is messing up again.

[wusphlash]

Mediocre half and down 3. Cut down on the stupid mistakes, hit the open shots, the ball game is ours. Keep it close and all the pressure falls to the ranked team.

If it hadn't been for the fans, they might have ignored the 3-pt shot. You could hear them shouting "3, 3, 3".

Shocker bench outscored Alabama's 12-0 in the first half. So we have that going for us, which is nice.

[fairbanksfan]

Looking for Stutz and Kyles to have better halves, we need to take better care of the ball and continue to work it into Stutz if these idiots will allow him to play. That 2nd foul call was horseshit.

Goes back to DSB's comment. Pick up the intensity and wear down their starters?
