Thank you refs for being dirty muddyfroggers

This game was over once GS fouled out.

Shox fans need to get over this top 25 ****. The rankings are a joke. We just need to take care of business. The only good ranking is at the end of the year AFTER you have won a couple of games in the big dance.

Seriously? I spell Cr#p, and it get censored???

Here is our shot sheet for the 3rd OT:

David Kyles: Missed 3
Ben Smith: Missed 3
David Kyles: Missed Jumper
Joe Ragland: Made Layup
David Kyles: Missed 3
David Kyles: Missed 3

That seems like a good gameplan. Oh well, kyles makes one or two, then who knows. But then again, it is damn near february so we are about 2 months late for that to happen.

Welp, there's our bad loss for the year, in a game, we started out strong in the 1st, went up by a good amount midway through the 2nd, and then crapped it to bed in the OT's. It's predictable. Again, jack up 3's as an offense, instead of getting it your guy that has scored nearly 30 points again and it's an easy loss. If it was anybody but Drake, this would have been a double-digit loss. We actually still had multiple chances to pull away but didn't.

Again, typical.

This will lock up a great BB matchup with Iona.

If everything goes according to normal late January and early February games, we'll lose again to Missouri State and the trek downward will begin.



Storming the court? Over an unranked team? That was about as lame as you can get. D+ effort.

While I agree, I wasn't convinced they'd get ranked after winning at Drake anyway. I just hope we still get Murray State for BB. I don't think tonight's loss changes that very much, but we'll see.

[shox1989]

i blame our fans, where were they? Huh? We were on the road? Oh, never mind...

Hey the Drake fans were great. That was a great atmosphere. Too bad they don't have very many.

Well.... on to the next game. Gotta keep winning. NCAA is just dying to eliminate as many Valley teams as possible.

[The 'hut]

Hahahaha

Check your pm s.....Didn't want to say check your pms!

[ShockerPrez]

Lay off the drake fans, I stormed the liquor cabinet.

[SB Shock]

What worries me is this now become a 2 game losing streak. MSU and weems will be up for WSU. Then we start seeing the NIT rearing it head again.

[Capitol Shock II]

It looks like we rode Kyles to defeat. 1-12, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and a turnover in 32 minutes. I wish we would have gone to somebody else down the stretch but I can see how we would hope Kyles would get hot if he kept shooting.

Also, I love Carl Hall but 6 points and 8 rebounds, four turnovers and four personal fouls in 41 minutes. I wish that we would have put Jake White in second half to add another outside threat. It just wasn't Carl or Davids night tonight.

I hope we rebound but Missouri State is going to be a tough place to do it especially if they smell blood in the water.

The Valley is simply fine with being a one bid league. They are content and in fact happy when teams that lose to Boise by forty beats the league leader.

[ShockerPrez]

I think we will destroy msu.

agreed.... and once Kyles went all baseline, off balanced I just giggled and said 'that'll do it'
