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

[DUShock]

I guess I'm just not going to say the season is basically finished 3 games into it. I'm not that much of a pessimist.

The margin of error is less with this loss. We can only afford one "bad" loss and must win the bracket buster to be in a position to pass "the eye test" for the Dance if we don't win the Valley.

Go Shocks!!!!

Get Joe out of the game. 14 blocks. Not sure what record that is....but is some kind of a record.

This tournament is not over. We have another opportunity for a nice win on Sunday against Temple.

Temple is a very good team as well. That'll be a nice win on the resume at the end of the season if we can pull it out.

Alabama looks so relieved to have beaten the little itty bitty Valley team.

Ok they can have the f'ing Puerto Rico trophy. I'll take the NIT champ-yun-sheep one!

Toure left his heart out there tonight. Great game Toure.

Joe has had a real tough game. Hope he bounces back Sunday.

He gave up 6 mins ago. When Coach watches the tape, it will not be pretty for Joe and his effort in the 2nd half.

Temple is a must win.

Yep. Win that one and the trip will be a success. A loss would really, really sting. Gotta bring our A-game Sunday.

True, but this isn't going to go down as a bad loss. Plus, it'll probably help our RPI anyway provided Alabama doesn't fall flat on their faces.

Your not calling this a "bad" loss are you?

There should be no lack of motivation when we take the floor against Temple on Sunday. I expect the Shockers to perform well.

A couple quick thoughts: I didn't expect a win but Hall played like the player I thought he could be and EO provided some good mins off the bench (he didn't hurt). This loss is not the end of the world. Good things happened tonight too.
