Pohto has been a difference maker tonight

[Arizona Shocker]

Ugh, where did that hot Alcorn shooting go? Don’t fail me now! (Kidding)

[shock-it-to-me]

20 assists!

Kenny Pohto on his way to his first Player of the Game post game interview?

What are your expectations?

Mostly just want to see incremental improvements. I have given up on leap and bounds type of improvements. At some point you are who you are.

While the ceiling is extremely high for this team. I don't EXPECT to reach it.

I expect to be a bubble team. Top 3-4 finish in the league (which even with this teams limitations I think is reasonable).

But I think we might be sweating selection Sunday again. And NIT wouldn't surprise me.

All that said.....right now that is my expectations. I certainly HOPE for another AAC title, a top 5 seed and a shot at the 2nd weekend in the NCAA tourney........but I certainly don't expect it.

Ted’s an amateur PA. He should do Vegas weddings or drop the long drawn out last names. RIP Don Hall.

I've always liked Ted on PA over Don

Close says from what he sees of Alcorn he thinks they will finish higher than 7th in the SWAC. Just world class incisive analysis.

Fair expectations and those expectations fit the mold of a team that should blow away a bottom level SWAC team at home.

19

[ShockerFever]

Another failed cover lol.

[Kung Wu]

I hope we win by 19…asking for a friend in Vegas.

Meh. I suppose. But it's probably because I have come to EXPECT close games with this team no matter who they play.

I still expect to win....I just never expect blow outs.

But I do agree that we SHOULD be able to blow out these teams with ease. But I just have come to not expect it.

Not for me! I got them at 20 earlier today! Woot woot, more Shocker gear Christmas presents + Shox win!!

Udeze was ok tonight, but I thought Pohto had a better overall game. Hit a couple threes, more rebounds and some steals.
