Wichita State vs Cincinnati Pre-Game Discussion

[Kung Wu]

Wait this is on the ESPN flagship? Now I'm REALLY nervous.

if this statistic is true, we have more problems than I thought. As much as I like our guys, we need players that can score the ball.

We have decent scorers/shooters... when they run the offense and don't take dumb shots.

I like your optimism and tend to agree with it. However, at Tulsa, we were taking open shots and not making them (a few of them were bad but not most). They sagged down to take away JE who was our inside scorer. Fred, as a Junior and Senior was so good at usually getting a decent shot at the end of the shot clock by driving and dishing. Our young guards (especially Grant who has the most potential in this area) hopefully improve in this area.

I think because we've taken so many bad shots the last few games and have thus not made many, our confidence is shaken and it's basically mental at this point.

This is hard to say, but I am just having a hard time rooting for these guys. Are there good dudes on this team? Do they like each other? Do they like playing basketball for Coach Marshall? I just find myself caring less. Maybe it's my age.

Man you got off that bandwagon fast! Almost as quick as a Memphis fan!

Lol, riding that 30 year bandwagon.

I actually am the opposite. I love these guys and they love each other. 17-4 and having a rough patch on offense. They will get through it! Go Shox!

Bingo. We have a SERIOUS case of the "yips" right now.

That is the worst four letter word for a golfer...yikes!!!

What concerns me the most is the end of game scenarios, especially against a team like Cincinnati. They can just hand it to Cumberland and good things happen most of the time.

Vogt's going to be a problem too inside.

That being said, this is why we joined the American. I'll take this over drubbing the Geese, every day and twice on Sunday. I'm stoked to support these guys and looking forward to the game.
