Shockers-Redbirds Gamethread

[jocoshock]

First half seemed like it was played in slow motion... Second half is going to be rough.... GO SHOX!!!!

[JaminShock]

GS, DW, and Hall were pretty much non-factors, Kyles and Smith combined to shoot 1-14... and we're up 8. Gotta love the quality depth.

[jocoshock]

Shooting just 35% from the field. 33% from three.. ISU is worse though...

At least today it is 7 v. 6 instead of 8 vs. 5 against the Shockers.

Toure getting hammered everytime he goes to the hole. Not one foul call. He reaches around and barely makes contact and gets foul called on him.

[jocoshock]

12 fouls on WSU vs. 9 on the Redbirds....

Rough first half. Kyles is just killing us on 1-8 shooting. He has to stop settling for mediocre shots and move it inside. Especially while Carmichael is on the bench. We don't need to be launching threes every possession. Just move it around and take better shots.

Between him and all of the off balance shots and running floaters, I'm not surprised the percentage is low. We had bad shot selection that half.

I wish these silly refs would quit calling so many damn fouls. Just because our opponents aren't as athletic as us doesn't mean you have to call every aggressive block attempt, etc an automatic foul. This is why I enjoy playing the so-called big name schools, they seem to let them play more.

White with 7 points. 35-27

7 pts. 6 rebounds. 5 offensive rebounds. He IS the difference in the game right now...

Stutz and Hall need to start asserting themselves more, we are going to need them down the stretch.

[Rlh04d]

ISU had a twelve minute streak without a FG. I think they scored nine on FTs during that. Less fouls and a normal FG percentage from us, and we'd be running them off the court right now.

Almost half of their points are from FTs. That's insane.

Got top of 104 in the club seats for today and tomorrow for face price. Loving the legroom. Illinois State dance team, nice. Shocks need to kick it back into high gear second half. Toure' is getting mayors and nary a call. Stutz and Hall need to step up with a better second half.

[jocoshock]

Need a second half burst to start the second half. Leave Garrett out. Don't give ISU a target..

TSU up 1 on Murray State with 7 minutes to go on ESPN2.

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Can someone with DVR go back and watch the Nic Moore pick on Murry. I got a message saying Moore left his feet leading with his shoulder toward Murry.

His opinion was the ref looked back at it then laughed and ran up the court. I missed the play.

Jake white has been huge.
