Shocks vs Western Kentucky (11-9-23)

[SubGod22]

11 first half TOs.

7 by our primary ballhandlers.

0 by PGs.

Now that we’ve seen the ball handling ability of our guards I’m starting to wonder what the hell Paul Mills has been observing in practice?

[Stickboy46]

Is Beverly this years James Rojas? Turnover machine?

Ridgnal is the only newcomer that has been even close to acceptable so far

[WuDrWu]

Guys played hard, I can’t complain about that.

The rest is what it is.

I should go back and find the thread on Beverly. Can;t remember the poster that got all fired up when I said he didn’t look very athletic and played below the rim.

-8 does seem high but I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

Things I'd like to see:
Germany to start to get his footing on the team and show he can contribute in times other than Junk time. I think he's going to be key to this year not going off the rails as I'm not confident that Ballard can stay healthy.
Limited TO from our guards
>30% from 3.

Not looking like any of those are going to happen

[Ashockalypse]

Early on I don’t see what Beverly adds. Pohto should dominate but he is a Fifi. We will need to recruit a full team next year including 2-3 point guards.

I got tore apart for doubting Germany.

I sure wish I was wrong

[forevershockerfan]

Evenly matched teams. Colby will start getting more makes and WKU will quit missing every 3. Shockers better slow down the turnovers because WKU is rebounding right along with us.
This game going down to the wire .

[Blackmag]

The last 7-8 minutes were hard to watch. Lots of turnovers and a little too much of Bell trying to take over. KP had a rough half but we did have a few positives. Abbide looks really athletic and we do have some size, but our point guard play needs some work…

[Ashockalypse]

Our tv guys…so boring. Hull needs to retire, go home and stare at his wife.

[TrackSuitAndTie]

I'd like to see Joy get some run, if only because every other guard seems to want to giftwrap the ball to WKU tonight.

[Kung Wu]

Cut out the dumb mistakes and we'd be waaay ahead.

Crowd looks like ... maybe .. 6500? Not bad.

[Dan]

Hope they start Abbide 2nd half in place of Beverly

[Ashockalypse]

They got 11 more shots off than we did. Game.
