Wichita State vs. Memphis Game Thread 1-21-21

[ShockRef]

Since NMSU isn't getting to play many games, just wonder if a certain coach is watching this Sheet Show.

That is all.

[Shock Top]

Hate to say it but Dennis and Gilbert are gonna have to win it for us. Tyson is too short to get shots off against his defender and they will blanket him all 2nd half. Udeze can’t hang underneath and Wade is irrelevant. Dennis and Gilbert HAVE to make baskets.

DD and AG have been even worse with their shots than TE, so I don’t know if that’s the recipe to bank on.

Memphis looks like a poorly coached AAU team and we are losing by six at the half - what does that tell
you? TE, Porter, CJ, TW, DD,AG etc are all stinking it up. Poor Bear played okay and that's it. No
ball movement and no player movement without the ball. MU only scored because of a couple good
passes. We look downright intimidated. Tell you the truth, I'd start little Wade with AG. and RC for DD.
I'd also start Poor Bear.

That was the worst half of basketball we have seen this year. Hope they come out the 2nd half and play smarter and hit shots. Yet we're only down by 6.

wish this was on ESPN+

It is on plus. Also

We're colder than a five day old polar bear turd.

Like a bear patty in the cold Arctic sun?

That half was there for the taking and instead we took it, took a giant crap on it and then lit a fuse to it and watched it blow up in our face.

Memphis may be a bottom 3 team and we were never really in it.

Then we're ****ed

Perhaps being off 8 days has something to with it, but Memphis has players. And athletes. But the truth is the Tigers are a very good defensive team, especially in the half court.

We need to get out and run, take it HARD to the basket and live with the results or shoot the first good look we get, even if it's an open 25 footer. We're just not going to get better looks in the half court.

We should be down 30 the way we're playing. Fortunately Memphis is so poorly coached we're still in it. IHCIB has made some good adjustments at half this season, let's see how he does tonight.

Udeze has 2 dribbles at his disposal. A 3rd dribble almost always results in a turnover.

[ShockerFever]

I sure hope IB doesn’t get outcoached by Penny effing Hardaway in the second half or that doesn’t bode well for the future.

This....a million times

afraid so. I subscribe to Doc’s theory. We gotta push tempo and take the first open look. Gilbert is being left wide open. Him not being able to make a basket is killing us.

[proshox]

This is a bad match up for our offense. The starting line-up is too short all over the court and our guys with “average length” for their position have little to no-experience.

I think the second half will be better, but I doubt it will ever look pretty against Memphis
