Wichita State: vs. UCF (02/08/23)

[Shocktheheck]

During the scoring drought and the UCF run, did the ball ever go inside? I don't think so. The offense looked like the early season offense. Dribble out top looking for a way to penetrate that wasn't there and then either jack a desperation 3 or turn it over.

Rarely went inside at all tonight. Completely took KP out of game with double and triple teams and we had no counter.

I'd call that a coaching flaw....

[shock-it-to-me]

I feel like this is the loss that truly broke Shocker nation.

There literally might be a Covid season-sized crowd on Sunday

To be fair, the timing of that game is awful with the super bowl and would be heavily affected no matter how good the team was

F IB and the horse he rode in

That would be FADDB.

[shocktown]

I sense a little tension, anxiety, feelings of desperation and betrayal on this board. Am I reading the room correctly?

[pinstripers]

Who gives a crap? Might as well ask how many people were in the dining room of the titanic

It's probably more important than the loss

If Saal needs butts in the seats to tell him it's time to get rid of IB, we've got a problem.

We are not a deep team. Our starting 5 plays well but there's a steep dropoff from there. They get gassed by the end of the game.

When they said IB was a players coach and a nice guy last year I asked if anyone knows where nice guys finish. I think I have my answer.

I’ll always be a Shocker fan for life but it is getting hard to get up for these games. The team seemed to be playing better and not relying on just Porter. But this game was a big step backwards. Chance to get to .500 in the league with SMU coming to town. I don’t know if they recover from this and I see a sub .500 season. My how far this program has fallen in such a short time. I see a revolving door as far as retaining any sort of talent we have with the current leadership…

At this point, Abidde is a decent backup at the 4, Poor bear is ok for a couple minutes and that’s about it. We need a PG next year in a bad way.

Only 2 of the remaining 6 games seem like even remotely winnable at this point. Sub. 500 is virtually guaranteed at this point

[Woodrow]

Oh. How many butts in the seats?

I would guess between 4 and 5 thousand, closer to 5. People were literally yelling out that Isaac is done. Loud enough for the bench to hear it. This whole thing is just a mess.

[shockrah]

If we don't stop peeing down our legs at the end, we're going to warp the court!

[mattdalt]

Yet, Porter had 7 assists and 2 TOs.

Bad score keeping, a review of the tape will show more than 2 turnovers. My unofficial count was at least 4.
