I admit that #10 got away with two arm bars, but it does not excuse Kyles.
Now that I think about it, the Shockers should have lost by 15-20 points because they played so poorly."Prediction is very difficult, especially if it is about the future."

Watching Wisconsin vs. Michigan St...4 minutes into a game of the #11 vs. #19 teams. Quiet as a mouse. Do you think Wisconsin gives a rats a$$ about the crowd, and will anyone there use the crowd as an excuse if they lose? I don't think so.

It seems like maybe they are trying to phase Dudley out.
I think maybe the people in our area think you quit clapping when they stop Dudley early, I don't know.

I was always told that one team scoring less than the other team was to blame for a loss......
DIE THREAD DIE!!!!!!"Ralph Miller was one of the finest coaches in the history of intercollegiate basketball. His teams were always fundamentally sound, team oriented, well conditioned, and ran both their offense and defense with great patience. I know of no coach whose teams competed against his, whether it be at Wichita State, Iowa, or Oregon State, who did not have great respect for him."—John Wooden

If you wonder why the crowd was quiet in the second half it could have something to do with sucky half-time shows and watching a guy shoot rubber bands at red plastic cups as our entertainment when the game isn't going on. Between the red cups, rubber bands and ping pong balls, Athletics probably spent six dollars for those particular activities. It's one thing to cut budgets, it's another not to have one at all. If you want to keep the crowd going don't say "let's get the loudest 'Go Shockers' we can" before the cheerleaders are in position to hold up the signs. Oh, and not having our seniors (Ben Smith excluded) play like freshmen, like this senior class has every year, wouldn't hurt either. Can you tell I'm bitter?
