Wichita State vs. Tulsa Pregame Discussion 1-13-21

[TheShocktocles]

It seems the shocks always have a tough beginning schedule in this league. Not sure why that is. But I hope the players remain focused on the keys of the game to win as stated by our coach. All this noise this week about starting lineup changes, recruiting questions, and what IB thinks of the interim coach label is just a useless distraction. And frankly I am also tired of hearing from the national media that say our program is down. I am tired of their disrespect. I am tired of reading smack from Tulsa fans saying we didn't beat them but that we got lucky playing them when we did and that they just missed free throws. Yada yada yada that they are the better team. The shocks just need to go win the game. Go shocks.

Yikes! That was terrible. Nowadays you can take like 6 steps and not get called.

Times have changed, I guess.

[Shockm]

It must make one feel like Superman when they can start their layup from 27' from the basket. That player at the top needs to become a Triple Jumper.

The SMU game on Sunday is now postponed.

Are any of those besides the Lebron carry a travel?

Every single one

Count the steps. Are 4 steps a travel?

[ShockingButTrue]

Holy cow that travelling call on X at 3:30 was colossally bad.

It. Wasn't. Even. Close. To. Traveling.

Back to Tulsa, one thing that will be key in evaluating IB is how we face teams the second time around. That is when it turns into a chess match.

Even a 10 year old with a cell phone could post these all day long.

Those are never getting called and I'm totally fine with that. NBA games are as exciting as ever...don't start nitpicking over these.

NBA is not real basketball imo. Can’t watch it. Great athletes but the rules don’t matter.

Would totally agree with this. It is exciting to watch. Probably the best professional sports league of them all, IMO.

[Kel Varnsen]

I can't think of another league where fans would say, "You know what, the rules of the game are either inconsistent or aren't being enforced at all! But it's fun!!!"
