Next Game

[pinstripers]

Coach Jans kept repeating (as idiots hammered him with stupid questions) that PT is earned in practice. I understand that, but you surely have to adjust. I like Toure, but most everybody on here is a bigger Toure fan than I am. I would have sat him the last 3 minutes for that lunatic shot from the corner, and I would have made him sit with Armstead and Mitchell.

I know of a lot of very good coaches in a lot of sports that will say that you stay loyal with what brung you (unless you're 15-20 down, no experimenting) there and whatever you say about Murry (I like him when he rebounds, passes, and drives to the basket because he is very good), he's been there for us for three years. In fact almost all coaches will do it this way.

I'm going to say something about the continuing negativity. At some time, we have to move on. Ok, the game was disappointing. We didn't play our best. It was another home game that we lost and we don't think we should lose those. We have a senior laden team and a couple of them were very disappointing and a couple of them did not play good games.

Now, let's use logic. If one really knows sports, you have to admit that we lost to a very good team (for sure a top 30-50 team). Creighton in addition to having good players was trying to win too and they played very physical defense (probably their best defensive game). Teams lose games that they should win all the time. Were the Chiefs better than the Packers? Was Davidson better than KU? To sum up, we lost to a good team that we probably should have won (although not easily) and we'll probably win a couple of games that we shouldn't win in the future. I don't think that I'm pumping sunshine but we need to move on now after a couple of days of venting.

It's time to regroup and take our anger out on Evansville. That's the best remedy.

It is finer than a frog hair to discuss the next game. After a big loss, it is human nature to take what happened in one game and not see the big picture. We have a very good team. Yes, we have lost 3 games and could have won them all on other days? Players have bad games, Coaches do too, and 1 of 3 refs had a bad game? The obstacles can all have a ripple effect.

In the scheme of things, the learning curve of a big loss could have a wake up call for the contenders and just repeat too often for the pretenders? Which are we? N. Carolina was Number 1 and was beaten by UNLV. UNLV came knocking at 21st and Hillside and was ranked and we beat them. Mo State went to Omaha and beat the ranked jays. K-who smeared Number 2 Ohio State team(without their awesome star playing) and followed that up with a loss to Davidson? Who? What does it all mean? Dunno, but it is a long Season and the reality of it all will soon unfold. The consistent teams will keep these setbacks to a mild roar and the others will go down with the count. Stay tuned.

After virtually any loss there is nothing better than cussing, bitching, cussing, screaming, cussing, and blaming everyone, including the water boy(s) to get rid of the frustration. But by now it's time to get over the hurt and to start looking forward to crushing the **** out of our next unfortunate oppononet. And just like us, after CU lost just prior to playing us, they know the Shocks are going to be looking for some sweet revenge.

[forevershockerfan]

Yes, they will be jays sleeping with one eye open, looking back to see what we are up to on a regular basis.

It was another home game that we lost and we don't think we should lose those.

I heard on Sports Daily that the Shox have a better road winning percentage in the Valley over the last year and a half then their home winning percentage. Go figure.

Counting last year and the two games this year, we're 6-4 at home and 9-1 on the road.
