lol no comment on the inadequate PG today eh?

Other than some typical lazy passes he played decent in the later stages. How's that? Too bad he didn't ice it when he had the chance. The difference in the game was their point guard really. You saw it. And, oh yeah, Udeze fouling out hurt the interior D.

I'll cut the kid some slack. He's better than TE playing the point. There's no need to be petulant about it. But...

First and foremost we miss size, especially length and bulk. Then basketball IQ. Finally, outside shooting. Despite a lack of any of that, we have pretty much fought toe to toe with every team we have played. I’m not as despondent as some of you.

You must have watched a different game than I did.

lol decent? So what constitutes a “good” performance or stat line?

He usually does

Really liked the lineup change and distribution of minutes. Wish it had started much earlier but at least it is a step forward.

Tyson played 47 minutes and took 11 shots. Who would have believed that in December. Haven’t checked the stats for recent games but seems he is making better decisions there.

The more CPis aggressive on O the better we are. Had a couple of sloppy TO’s early but is continuing to get more aggressive which will help the offense tremendously.

Ricky is so talented and also seems to be making strides on valuing the ball and dialing it in on D better for
most of the game.

Pohto seemed to take a step forward in aggressiveness on O which we need. Made a nice move that I haven’t seen before backing a guy down - the shot was blocked but his move was effective and under control. He is still a FR and like virtually every other FR big gets pushed around by older guys, but I REALLY hope he stays.

I have never really doubted the teams effort, but their focus and decision making comes and goes. Hope the staff can figure out how to get them to bring the same focus to every game - if they do maybe they can play their best ball in the conf tournament.

If we can somehow play at the level seen today, we have a punchers chance in the conference tournament

First of all … incredible atmosphere… fans into it all the way… loved it
things that I felt were positive :
- lineup change ….. and late in the game … THATS tge lineup for the future
- I still would not call CP “ elite” but he was mostly great today… had the two plays of the game
- KP is going to be great… just feel it… needs to play
-23/26 at the line… really???
- biggest thing… answered EVERY Houston run

Things that need work still need work:
- I hope our guys saw how Houston was on the floor for every loose ball… and won most of them
- we NEVER crash offensive boards.. so what if we get beat on some run outs????
- if we had a timeout after CP’s last 3 and didn’t call it… terrible judgement

great game…

[top20shock]

Yea moral victory.

[Shock Top]

- I still would not call CP “ elite” but he was mostly great today… had the two plays of the game

Three biggest:

- Block
- Dunk
- 3 Pointer

He was more aggressive today and it played off.

[Regul8te]

CPJ scored his fifth and sixth points with less than two mins left in regulation. He went on to score eleven more over the remainder of the game.

[Husker4Shockers]

Heartbroken for the kids. They deserved that one.

[wichshock65]

So proud of our guys today. Fight till the end, that's all any of us can ask.

Loved the change where everyone spread the floor and let Ricky drive and dish.
