Wichita State Shockers vs. Arizona Wildcats Game Thread 11-19-21

I really ****ing hate moral victories though!!

I get that. I think this game showed me enough though that I feel like we SHOULD be in every game this season. After the first 3 I had no idea what the potential was.

The iso ball almost killed us this game.

Be good at the little things, and we win....

Just learn. Frustrating team to watch, because you know they can be good. Watching teams in the 90s was frustrating because they didn't have the talent. This team is obviously talented. They just need to play to it. Defense played pretty good, the heart seems to be there, we just get a little ahead of ourselves. Having the basketball needs to be valued.

Shocks shot 79.2% from the line in their first 3 games. Tonight in regulation 42.9%.

Hopefully, Kennedy gives the player of the game to Craig Porter. He played his butt off.

The lack of BBIQ still shows through and they tend to rush things. But still they got the game against a good Arizona team to OT and they deserve credit for making that happen even though they certainly did not play their best. Just play a little smarter, a little more under control and make their free throws like they are capable of doing they win this game.

I think Kenny Pohto may have done a little growing up in this game tonight considering what he was up against.

As the “Big Boys” say —quality loss right there

[Ashockalypse]

I think Craig, Kenny, Qua, Dex, Tyson, Ricky and Monzy showed competence tonight. Mo and Pleasant need to start adding and Coach forgot Chauncey.

Getting away from that is when things improved. Drive and dish and work as a team and things get so much better. It's not rocket surgery

[ShockerPrez]

We just would not go away. A VERY good sign.

Right. We need to at least put it on notice that we are still ferocious MFers. Looking at you Porter! Top notch effort there.

[Maizerunner08]

IB needs to coach up Mo on situational awareness. His size alone would have helped in OT.

Proud of the fight from our team and how much noise our fans made in this arena. Arizona fans are obnoxious and is suddenly one of my most despised fan bases out these

[BAShocker]

I honestly thought we would get blown out. Agree, don’t like moral victories, I hope we have enough gas in the tank for Sunday’s game. All in all, I don’t think it was a bad loss at all. Arizona will be top 20 very soon, if not top 10.

God they are the KU of the south. The U of A chant? More like D-bag U

[shockerfan]

I will just remind myself it is November. Only our first loss against a good team. Nothing is gained or loss off of this one game. It's all about where they continue to go from here.

I thought we would lose worse than we did.

So all in all I can't be too irate. I will just be happy with the grit and comeback for tonight. I felt we would go 1-1 in Vegas, if we do I will be ok with it.

[WuTheOne]

I have a feeling this game is showing us the roller coaster ride of a season we can expect.

Udezes +/- is -20

Pohto's +/- is + 17

I'm less enthusiastic about IB than I was when he was hired, but IB inherited a really weak front court. When a Fr can outplay a 4-year guy, that says something about the 4-year guy.

our opponents don't really have a track record as such though. We shall see!
