WICHITA STATE (7-1) at MISSOURI (6-2) Game Thread

I would like to see Mills start working the refs to start getting some calls. Don't know if he has it in him.

I think he does. We were just used to Marshall for so long who wouldn't stop yelling at the refs lol.

But Mills started getting a little upset at the last game. We will see if he shows it in this one.

If you want your guys to fight for you, you might want to fight for them.

I'm not sure how much "undisciplined" has to do with it (it has some, no doubt) but we all knew this was inevitable again an up tempo team with good ball handlers....and again, made so much worse by the physicality.

Yea the grabbing and hand checking isn't helping.

I don't disagree. But you pick your time and places. Something to be said about keeping a calm demeanor also so the team doesn't get too hectic or more out of control. It's a balance he will have to figure out.

MU is getting loose balls, and 2 chance shots. Their D is stingy and so aggressive that the Shocks go in panic mode and miss easy shots. Last Season, Shocks also were down at half, had a nice 10 pt. lead, but lost In ot after wholesale misses on throws. Shocks could be down 20 but must settle down to beat this very deep MU TEAM. Work the ball to KP and Ballard more please.

Everything considered, I’m surprised we’re not down 20, at least we’re hitting some big shots and holding our own on the boards

It feels like we're playing Southern Illinois in 2001. Grab grab push and never a foul is called.

Yeah it’s a bad matchup for sure. Was certainly hoping for better than we’ve seen.

And as previously mentioned, the way it’s being officiated hasn’t helped either. Pretty wild it’s a 7-point game.

Felt like giving up that O board that led to a Tiger 3 when we were within 2 or 3 right at the end was a big deal.

That was the play that triggered my undisciplined comment. We had two players just stare and make no effort to try to grab it or close out

Mizzou .. pushing and shoving.. our lack of Point Guard depth is a real problem.. come Shoxs! You can do this!

[Shocker Mama]

Can't imagine what Bell's +/- is at the moment.

0 at the half. Beverly has the worst at -13.

Yeah I was pretty frustrated with that play as well. It was a big swing.

Yeah, in this kind of a game the Shocks can't have any lapses unfortunately. Their B or C game won't cut it in this one. Our margin of error is as rasor thin as we already knew it was.

Yeah Bell seemed to get it together a bit more there when he came back in.
