We didn't look great. We didn't look bad. Qua did a decent job running the point.

[ShockerFever]

Isaac Brown with the best 25 game start for a MBB coach in WSU history (19-6). Pretty good for a guy who just "rolls the balls out" and "let's the dawgs be dawgs" lmao

Congrats to him but I wonder if that would’ve happened if we play a full schedule last year..

[SubGod22]

We'll learn more on Friday. I'm still not overly optimistic.

[ShockerFever]

Good win…this is not a pushover team we played.

Is anybody we play this year a pushover? I feel like we like saying that so it makes us feel better about our tough ugly games.

[ShockerFever]

Thought they were gonna win by 30, right? Or maybe you don’t know ****.

I think they’re gonna win 30 games. Hows bout them apples?

Didn’t get to watch the first half but I thought the second half was pretty solid. Got to clean up the silly turnovers and shoot better. Shot the 3 ball better. Grant looked pretty good along with Monzy. Dennis hit some 3s and playing without Etienne forced a everybody to step up. Council is good and has the ability to be great.

We’re all shocker fans so it seems silly to think anyone is actively hoping Brown or the team sucks. I also think if you feel confident from this 3 game sample size, you’re wearing yellow-tinted glasses. It’s a long season so hopefully things continue to get better.

Mo w 6 boards........5 TO's for Dex, 4 for RC4............

Still don't think we look like a dance team. I remember not developing AM. He transferred
and became a beast at Grand Canyon. Pohto has that kind of potential. Develop him
before you lose him!!!!!!!!! He makes one mistake on defense and gets jerked. That is
not the way to develop and instill confidence. MU makes lots of mistakes but doesn't get
the hook. I don't think this team reaches it's ceiling without developing him. Do it quick or
who knows? More TO's than assists tonight. Bad recipe. Grant played well........like him.

There are definitely one or two actively hoping to be proved right that firing marshall was the worst thing to ever be done at WSU and is gonna drive us into oblivion.

I agree, no one should feel confident at this point. There are things to like but a lot to not like.

Grant is showing me something tonight, he looks like a pretty solid point guard

When he is not throwing it away with stupid one handed passes. RC4 was terrible tonight. Played like a spoiled little baby. Crying for fouls, hero ball, and doing his spin move for several turnovers. All the confidence in the world but little basketball IQ. If he doesn't change his ATTITUDE he will not reach the potential of all that skill.

+/- goes to Grant with a +18. Followed by Dennis with a +15

On the other end, it was Pleasant -1, and Porter 0.

So. Alabama just lost by 5 points to Alabama. I don't think that fits the definition of a /pushover/.

Shane HAS to be wrong in his mentioning IB the winningest coach after 25 games in WSU history. That CAN NOT be correct. That HAD to be our last coach, didn’t it?

You have to be a clone of 1976. You’re hate for GM clouds your judgement on true accomplishments, and shows ignorance from both of you. I’m glad for IB, and am hopeful of a long, successful Shocker career. He’s doing fine so far, even though inexperienced, but he is learning everyday. He has strengths too, but experience (especially game time experience) isn’t one of them, and to coaches like Billy Kennedy, who he has a long relationship with, he maybe asks for advice and perhaps, he admits it.

Udeze led the team in scoring tonight after not playing well the last 2 games. Why would they pull him? Finally got something going. This was a favorable matchup for him. He could out muscle anyone on the opposing team. Very high on pohto, but that isn't his game... at least yet. Either way, we only have two centers, so he will get plenty of time on the court.
