Wichita State at Tulane Game Thread 1-29-22

[shoxlax]

Performance reflects leadership.

Of which, this program has none.

Not arguing. All I said was he didn’t sound like a canned recording for once.

Good win followed by a terrible loss. Can’t get any worse.. 1-5 uhh

[Maizerunner08]

Apparently enthusiadams still believes that.

I like Adams but he could spin some positives from a dead deer on the road.

Adams: you know that deer, it really left a legacy with how fast it was. It was even almost as fast as a car. We all know cars are the fastest. That deer left a legacy for all other deers to follow.

Have the ball at half court with 3 seconds ... And only thing we can get is tossing the ball 15 feet into the backcourt...

Still in love with IB? Recognize the obvious.
He needs more seasoning at a lower level school.

Wichita State is a destination school - not an on the job learning stop. That's what is happening now. Courtesy of your good friend DB!

That is all.

I promised myself I was not going to get involved in discussions here the rest of the season. I am taking a 1 post sabbatical,.


1. I applaud the kids AND coaches for fighting and coming back. Down 15 on the road, lead by 13 in the 2nd half, showed a ton of heart and effort.
2. Jalen Cross is a ****ing dick, and anyone with a sac would have made sure he suffered the entire 2nd half after his mouthy first half and elbow leaving the court. My comment to him starting the 2nd half would have gone something like this: "Hey Cross, before I make plans to visit you in prison, just know the first time you and I get close in the 2nd half, your cage is getting rattled, and if I can bring you to the floor, it's happening buddy, so be careful if you leave the ground, cuz Imma commin' Dawg'" Step on his foot, call his mother a dirty whore, nothing out of bounds imho.
3. We're the lowest IQ team in the history of the game. Breaking down the last 4 minutes, and the last effort at a shot is just not worth it.
4. I can't believe Dex's quick 3, RC4 stepping out of bounds (JUST HOLD THE ****ING BALL) ....the entire last 4 minutes. Stupid is as stupid does.


The officials should NEVER work a D1 game again. There were at least 4 BRUTAL nearly game changing calls, including the TE challenge on the 3 that decided the game. The non call on Porter was as bad a call as I've seen. Gregg would have been kicked out, and rightfully so, with that debacle. Unreal bad officiating, almost as bad as our decision making at the end.


That's a team full of dicks, and other than Memphis, they cannot have enough awful things happen to them.

Side Note:

I like Mark Adams personally, he's a good guy, but he was a complete tool today.


It's extra frustrating when you lose to sack of dicks. Today, it is super extra frustrating. Even with how poorly we've played and shot and lost players etc etc, we're 1-5 and we should be 4-2. Still most of the problems are personnel problems, but you don't have to lose to shithole programs and teams like Tulane, and sure as **** don't have to lose twice to a group of ****tards that won't win **** in their lifetimes, except their first 2 wins over us ever.

That's all. On to baseball and softball.

Okay, that was hilarious. I needed a good laugh.

[Blackmag]

Dexter took 3 wide open 3s and couldn’t come close… kinda like our season

[shoxlax]

The problem for me... Yes they might have been "open" but they were mostly long shots, early in the clock, by players that hadn't been hitting anything.

We drag each of those possessions out even 5 seconds each... The game is over...even missing a crap shot at the end

Fair enough. But if you ain’t playing smart, you better have talent to overcome it and we don’t as evidenced by those missed shots.

I miss Trey Wade. He at least understands situational basketball.

THIS times a million. This IS NOT ON IB. He was put in a terrible spot by a spineless AD. Kung Wu you can close down the men's basketball forum with ShockRef comment above.


That IS in fact ALL.

[Shock Top]

I’d take Cross and Cook on this team in a second

[shoxlax]

We did lose twice to Evansville in our FF season but at least they were nice guys…bahaha.

I probably would have been spineless too with the hire but with a four year $500k deal instead of the Brinks truck he gave him.

[ShockerFever]

We can still beat Tulsa, maybe

3-15 in the conference is gonna look real sexy in the record books.

I have never been in love with IB.. too many people (unfortunately including you) are just too stupid to understand that me understanding WHY we ended with him... And WHY we are stuck with him doesn't mean I love the hire. I've never said I did and never will. My only comments have been to give him time instead of calling for his head because we can't fire him even if it's the right thing to do. That time is quickly running out (frankly I'm of the opinion now that its not going to turn around, but for the sake of the program I'm going to try to not make it toxic by screaming it from the rooftops until we can reasonably afford to buy him out AND hire a better coach)

I do agree with your second part. We should have hired an established coach.. but hand was forced due to last year's results (along with a mountain of other things) . Let's start by firing DB for the way the contract was written

[Husker4Shockers]

That pretty much does it for me. After going through my Huskers football season I don't think I can live through another debacle.
