Wichita State vs. JSU Game Thread 11-9-21

[ShockerFever]

I get we can’t, and shouldn’t, throw out the first half.

However the 2nd half was considerably better than the first. Shot 43%. Lots of better looks.

That indicates adjustments made, no?

“But I just don’t see NCAA caliber here” - Houston just had to get to OT to beat a significantly worse team. Didn’t ranked Virginia lose to Navy tonight ?

I know you hate IB for some reason, whatever, I think that’s dumb, but to each their own.

However, again these posts with opinions like that 40-minutes into the season are just stupid. Sorry.

And utterly predictable from your grousy negative attitude the past like 13 months.

Hate? Where did I say I hated him or anybody?

As far as opinions regarding a college basketball game, well I’m not sure why you’re here or why the thread went to 18 pages then. Just because you don’t agree with it, doesn’t mean it shouldn’t not exist. Snowflake.

Seven blocks, ten steals. Both of those are around twice what we averaged last year and would have been top of the NCAA for the season.

That’s something I’ll keep an eye on throughout the season.

The band also needs more practice. That was one of the most painful Star Spangled Banner's I've ever heard. And it wasn't just that one song. They need to tighten things up.

Pohto is a stud.

Dex has to knock down those wide open looks.

Mo needs to never dribble more than once max. He also needs to learn how to put a body on someone and not to throw himself into a defender and flail like some 5'6", 102lb weakling.

Ty is Ty

Ricky has a huge ceiling. If he keeps things under control he's going to be a major baller.

Joe was steady.

I liked what I saw from Porter. He does a lot of little things that make us better.

Qua has to learn this isn't DII.

I like Monzy and felt he played much more under control that what I recall from much of last year.

When they do the dance cam, it would help if the crowd can actually hear the music.

Props to dude for hitting the half court shot during some timeout promo

Attendance wasn't great but the crowd was good.

Pohto was sick? Can't wait to see him healthy.

Lots of potential, lots to work on.

No comment about the NCAA banner nearly falling off after being unveiled?

Oh I know, just a meaningless basketball-less observation. I’ll wait for pie to call me out on that one.

Excellent question!!

A few more:

How can you have a Dance Cam with music played so softly that many can't even hear it?

How can the pneumatic shirt launcher only propel shirts 3-4 feet?

How can you not even bother to put half time stats on the scoreboard?

Why would scores from other games not be put on the scoreboard at halftime?

We laughed at the t-shirt gun. My husband said, “What happened to that Gatling gun they had two years ago? The one that was so scary they could only fire it at one side of the arena.”

More impressively to me .. Pohto was credited with 2 steals .. but it feels like he was involved in more than that.

My son is a Engineer for NIAR. I will get him working on this ASAP!

Didn't say it shouldn't exist. Said it was stupid.

offense - horrible
defense - fairly good
rebounding - very good 90% of game
shooting - good FT, horrible 3's, (great mid-court game-winning shooting)
porter - potg - nice rebounding
pohto - nice player, good defensively, (definitely a 70's throwback)
udeze - no more 3's please - no more turnovers while trying to pass like a PG please
dex - fairly decent game overall
qua - good ball handler
rc4 - ???? what was that
tyson - good shooting, not enough looks
others - meh
last possession - very bad
win - good

I thought Joe P was solid. An upgrade over Trey Wade for sure, who was just ok in my mind.

When are we allowed to comment on the play of the basketball team? January? February? Just let me know.

In your case, May would be nice.

Is that the time of year when your 800 friends can come over with their vaccination cards and have a pool party?

You're welcome to come over any time and take a dip in the pond (some call it a lake) in my back yard. Don't even need a vac card if you're not coming in the house.
