Wichita State vs. USF Game Thread 3-12-21

Never an easy go with this team. To be fair though, USF probably played their best half of the season. Amazing what happens when it might be your last game of the season.

Horrible shot selection...and, today's performance is not surprising me. Really didn't want to play these guys again today, just 6 days after last playing them...and having not played well against them earlier in the year. Hope things turn around quick. Get ahead again...and don't let them stay close. Otherwise, you end up with what happened the last 3 minutes of the half.

Why do we seem to almost always seem like we've never seen a zone?

We're way too content to jack up threes. Many of them poor shots.

Going zone on D destroyed the momentum we'd built by playing a more aggressive D.

Rebounding is apparently only good against Houston and really bad rebounding teams.

We have to right this ship. Absolutely cannot afford a loss here.

[Maizerunner08]

We are probably first four at best if we lose this. And better hope for chalk for the rest of the tournaments.

If USF doesn't cool off, then it could be a long day. Otherwise, we'll need to heat up more.

Gotta think USF cools down from 3 in the second half. But we have got to execute at a much higher level to have a chance.

I’m not sure how we’re in March and we still have a senior in Trey Wade watch a shot go up, turn and look at his guy and decide not to box him out, then watch said player sky in front of him for a put back dunk. It’s nitpicky but you can’t do it. Little things add up.

This. We are chucking junk up. I’m sure if there were advanced analytics, over half of those threes would be considered very bad shots by the metrics. Not that you need metrics to know that...

Um.....It could be our last game of the season if we don't pull our heads out of our collective asses and start playing smart.

Need DD to show up on offense. Mo needs to rebound and pass back out. Monzy needs to stay out of foul trouble and contribute like he can.

[ShockRef]

Mo is Mo.
The funniest comment in the last month was a poster on here complain about Udeze being left off the the All-Conference teams.
Yea, right.

They better start using a true zone offense or the second half could become painful to witness.

USF is playing with house money. Nothing to lose and letting it fly. Teams like this are always dangerous, especially when you don't think you have to work hard.
WSU is getting out worked and out hustled. Recipe for a first round exit if things don't change quickly.

That is all.

Just need to hit shots....period. Sounds obvious but they are just flat out hitting shots.

Get more aggressive on defense, let it lead to good offense and we are right back in this.

[Husker4Shockers]

Why does EVERY team and/or player shoot the ball better against us than they have all year??!! And when did they change the rules to allow a player to walk around with the ball? The USF guard has done it twice so far.

[Shock Top]

Horrible.

WSU, that has everything to play for, is being outplayed and outclassed by USF, a team that has nothing to play for.

Oh I don’t disagree. Very unfocused.

Mo has basically canceled out Durr.

He does need to hit shots,, but USF probably saying the same about Durr.

Their guards are outplaying ours. Period

***edit*** other than Etienne although he needs to get better looks. But he played good
