Wichita State (#16) vs Houston Game Thread

Keeping Echenique on the floor would be nice

If we hit a decent % on FTs we’re down 4-5pts. I’ve been saying all year our free throw shooting is going to cost us. Our guards aren’t handling the pressure out front and our bigs are one dimensional. Without Echenigue in the post we’re ordinary against a team like Houston...

We’re winning the turnover battle6-7 but 6-9 on lints off turnovers

Seems we need a miracle to pull out of this game.

This is another no good very bad half. We can't to be such inconsistent free throw shooters when every person on the team in an offensive slump. Houston was the bigger, stronger, meaner team this half and that is no bueno. I'd complain about calls, but you earn the ability to complain by keeping the game close. With this type of half, we can lose to anyone in the conference. Of course, we already saw that.

I'm not sure what hit us, but these last 5 halves have just been brutal. Every time we actually manage to score in the half court, I feel a distinct mixture of surprise and relief. Definitely more Play Scared than Play Angry. I like this Houston team though, it is playing way more like the team we want to be. Lot of Play Angry in the way they gobbled up those rebounds and blocked everything we threw up.

I watched K State dismantle WVU today; wish we had some of that

Hack-a-shock

41% free throw shooting in half. I’m actually surprised when the free throw goes in.

brutal

Not a first half to be proud of. Can’t handle the zone, not physical enough, and can’t hit free throws.

Needs to learn how to not foul every 90 seconds

I know Houston is good but I hope this isn’t a ominous sign of things to come.

[LoneStar48]

It seemed like ES had stepped up and become the leader, but he's missing today in that role today. And against Temple.

[Singeril]

Oh, and turned off the sound (couldn’t take it after 2 minutes) and then synced the tv broadcast (thank goodness for Cox DVR box) and the radio broadcast. Easy to do. Just couldn’t take the color announcer anymore.

We have sucked on offense for a while. We don't use screens well.

Yes, 100%. We go through the motion and set a screen on a location and not on the defender.

[Blackmag]

We look like a frustrated team

Awful start to the 2H.
