Wichita State vs. JSU Pregame Discussion 11-9-21

[Kel Varnsen]

Let's look at this matchup practically:

Last matchup: Very close, Shocks won.

Last time JSU played Florida State.....Florida State won 77-53 (12-8-13)

Last time WSU played Florida State.....Florida State won 91-84 2OT (3-19-04)

Last time JSU played Florida State (baseball) Florida State won 13-5 (1973)

Last time WSU played Florida State (baseball) Florida State won 11-4 (6-8-2008)

Last time JSU played Florida State (football)......JSU won 20-17 (9-11-21)

Last time WSU played Florida State (football).....Florida State won 24-0 (9-20-69)


Recent success vs FSU gives a slight edge to JSU, but the game is here:


Can't beat Florida State 68
Can beat Florida State 64

Not going to lie, I have nightmares about Buster Posey and hearing an announcer saying, "Houston, we have a problem...the best baseball player in America."

Drives me nuts.

But we are missing the almighty leader!!!!! ... No not Marshall... STEVENSON!!!

You TOTALLY got me...best laugh of the day!

[TheShocktocles]

Prediction: Craig Porter will have less than two turnovers and will have more assists than turnovers.

Hope: Craig Porter attempts at least four shots.

Well every player needs to improve. And I am sure CP knows he needs to improve. But can we start a game out this season without passing the ball into MU just so that he can turn it over. Just once can we start the first offensive possession different.. I know Coach wants to establish the inside game, but Mo seems to have not learned a thing about double teams. They are going to double team him. What the heck is he thinking? I know I would not let him go one on one against a defender.. He needs to stop dribbling and pass the freeking ball back out to an open shooter. RC4 simply tries to do to much and turns it over. Sigh! Don't get me wrong I love his passion but there has got to be some balance on when to go to the cup or pass the ball. I still like this team very much. Go Shocks.

You must be bored.

You must be bored.

I've had better weeks.

[shock-it-to-me]

Many games on ESPN+ this year. My big gripe is that there is no way to hide scores or select “start from the beginning” like on the MLB app for example. Super annoying if you’d like to start viewing a little late in the broadcast, which for me, is almost always. When my wife is around, I have her start it up and rewind it to the beginning for me. So stupid they can’t figure that out.

I've always recorded games if I had a conflict. Evidently to do that now, I'd need a video capture program on my computer and a way to set the start and stop times for it. Or are the games archived by ESPN so I can watch them after they've been played?

ESPN+ has on demand replay of past events.

[WuTheOne]

ESPN+ has on demand replay of past events.

Thanks. I've never found that, but I will look for it. I believe I have enough searching skills to find it.

[SubGod22]

I could have sworn you can set it up to not show scores of games on the menu. I've never had the issue of knowing before watching anything in the past and have watched a number of SKC games that way over the past couple of years. Maybe I'm just not observant and missed the scores somehow.

[MikeKennedyRulZ]

I've personally never understood the gripe about ESPN+. It is relatively affordable and has a ton of content. Hell, it's worth it just for the Shocker content and the ability to stream games on demand after the fact if you can't watch live.

[ShoxRoxMySox]

I'll take ESPN+ over the time I had to pay a streaming service to get CBS sports or w/e the heck that was. I mean, I'll do it to watch the shocks, but I'm gonna ***** about it.

[SubGod22]

My only complaint with ESPN+ is the user interface. It could be made much more user friendly and be setup to better show you what you're interested in when logging in instead of trying to force feed me crap I couldn't care less about.

But the service as a whole is great. Relatively cheap and almost always something on there I can check out. It comes in handy during football season since I don't really care about college football but now have a ton of games I can choose from that I might find interesting. I don't really care to watch the same SEC teams play every week. Then there's the UFC content, a lot of MLS and plenty of college non revenue options.

Agreed. Takes a while to dig and find Shocker games. And events never start on time. I always have to wait 5-10 minutes after the start of the even tune in. Doesn't matter what it is.

[pinstripers]

It is better than nothing.
