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

Whoever had Porter and Monzy in the X-Factor Pool is the big winner.

[shockersx]

Hopefully he washes before he touches his face.

Or his teammates

[ShockRef]

Mo has found something he can do and contribute. Wasn't sure if it was really an offensive foul (Mo moved to his left at the last second). Olandis Poole made the call and sold the hell out of it.
Could not understand the substitution of Wade for Jackson for the last 4 minutes?? Wade was an absolute zero the entire game.
Gilbert took one of the worst shots since the game was invented. This was after dribbling around for 20 seconds doing absolutely nothing. Porter played a much more composed game today.
Survive and advance - and maybe saved the entire season.

That is all.

This team loves close games. Give them credit for never quitting and finishing. Loved some of the minutes from the guys off the bench. Lets hope we have some kinks worked out for tomorrow.

Would this win validates our chance in the NCAA?

[apkbaum]

I have no words for this game.

My co-players of the game are Udeze, Jackson and Porter. Big plays at important times.

Udeze player of the game. Porter, Jackson and Gilbert runner ups. Yes, I said Gilbert. He wasn’t the best today BUT he did hit two big threes that put us back into it late in the game. That was the game changer in my opinion for our run to win.

And THAT is why our kenpom luck factor kisses the stratosphere.

Is this team blessed?

Wow! I was not able to watch the game the live or follow the comments on ShockerNet and could only check in on the live stats periodically. That last time I checked on the live stats the Shocks trailed 53-41 with 15 minutes to play. I thought Oh Boy! this isn't going well. Just checked in again and saw the Shocks somehow pulled it out 68-67. I am going to really enjoy watching the replay of this game this evening.

Just something about this team that they generally don't dominate most of their opponents but somehow when the dust clears the Shocks are standing victorious. Amazing. You do that a couple of times maybe it luck. You do that time after time after time and it is something else. Could this be the Isaac Brown effect? Maybe partially but they just win too many close games for this to just be luck or happenstance.

Now I hoping for a good 8 seconds or less for our young Shocker hurdler, Joseph Holthuzen, this afternoon at the NCAA Indoor Championship. That would be a nice cherry on top of what already is a good day to be a Shocker.

Would the call have been any different if USF had been the 1-seed?

[ShockerPrez]

Would this win validates our chance in the NCAA?

Doubtful, but a loss would have destroyed it.

[champions5]

Not much more needs to be said about Monzy, but the moment never seems too big for him and he is into the game just as much when he in on the bench.

[asiseeit]

never a doubt

[ShockerPrez]

Thank God Im working from home.

Who wants a beer!??

[Shockm]

Udeze won this game on the boards. Earlier in the year, I didn’t think I’d ever say that.
