Originally posted by TheShocktocles View PostI am surprised that TE and DD are not shooting a higher percentage from the free throw line. I thought last year both were close to 80%. And agree some fine tuning on what is a good shot for TE will probably make his percentage of 3 point shooting rise. Go Shocks.

Still time, though, and he has started to get to the line more now, which has to help. First 8 games: 5 FTA; Last 2 games: 12 FTA.“The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'”

Not Dex, though. He's 20% lower this year. 84.6% to 64.7%.

Excellent analysis! He probes with the dribble drive and does occasionally turn it over but we need him to do this to create spacing. He has been a terrific addition to the team.

I had a lot of fun at last night’s game. First bit of normalcy I have experienced in quite some time.
There remains a lot to like about this team and the coaches. We seem to be able to find a way to unlock just about every opponent before it is all said and done. In fact, WSU might have been better off playing from behind against Houston.
Random - At the end of the first half WSU had four fouls to give with two minutes remaining. I wish the shockers would have tried to completely body up and disrupt Tulsa until it created a turnover or a foul. In my opinion - Tulsa should not have had the opportunity to begin a shooting motion never mind a wide-open three (missed) and a lay-up attempt (made). I know it was only two points, but it seemed like such an easy strategy to implement.

The dribble drive of our players this year is a big reason the offense looks so much better. Hate to keep saying it but last years guards spent all of their time going east and west. One other thing...I have never seen a Shocker team so effective against a match up zone as they were last night. Also kudos to IB for throwing a little zone at the opponents as well.
Players do get pulled if they're having an off night and their replacement is having a better game (Gilbert/Porter vs. Cincy). That's probably more easily accepted by players than getting pulled for a single mistake. Gilbert had a great game, with 8 assists, on his nest outing.
The Shox pretty much shredded Tulsa's match-up zone like I've never seen a Shocker team shred a zone in recent memory. Tulsa switched to a man defense, because the D they used to be a highly respected defensive team wasn't working against the Shox.
There was a game earlier in the season where the Shox were having problems on D and switched into a zone and stayed in it, which totally disrupted the opponent in that game. I can't remember which game that was, was it Tulsa?The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.
