NORTH TEXAS (7-5, 0-0) at WICHITA STATE (8-5, 0-0) Game Thread

I have no idea what “embrace our identity” means.

[Stickboy46]

Well then....I will take whatever NIL UNT has right now I guess.....lol

I still don't think that is a good enough excuse.

None of the normal excuses thrown around here explain this game because UNT is in the same or worse situation than us for all of them

[Singeril]

Psychobabble

My point is with no NIL this is the caliber of players we will always have.

North Texas has a comparable, if not worse, NIL setup to WSU.

Yeah and that is what actually has me down pretty bad for the first time this season.

Absolutely NO excuse for this one. Ugh......hate it

False. As has been said already we have better NIL than a lot of teams that still have better players.

Hell, wasn't it this past spring that it was said our NIL for basketball was much better than what KSU had available?

NIL may keep us from getting top 50 talent, but it's a weak excuse as a whole. Let's not pretend that every decent player is pulling in six figures. Those players are the anomalies and not the standard.

Rogers, Ballard, and DR were the Shocker bright spots tonight

I would like to hear Mills' explanation for tonight's loss.

Bell is just hurting this team, IMO. He doesn’t pass the ball and when he does he throws it to the ankles. He forces way too many shots. I’m just over watching him run this team into the ground so he can get his points.

Good observation. Too many players playing to get their own points. Too much dribbling, poor spacing and not enough quick passing. KP needs to touch the ball on most possessions and not stand in the corner. That's coaching.

I have no idea what “embrace our identity” means.

What is our identity?

[shockerfan]

What is our identity?

Well....since we just past the holidays I am going to say our identity is:

Cousin Eddie....and the shitter is FULL

Edited...I am so pissed at the game that I promoted Cousin Eddie to Uncle....lol

Cousin Eddie at least provided entertainment

Not repeat myself, but I'd feel a lot better if I heard something like this from HCPM tonight. Did tonight's effort, at any level, meet the standard of the program? Do players who turn the ball over repeatedly, don't box out, take poor shots, etc. meet the standard? What is HCPM's standard for this program?

Asking for a friend, why does Beverly shoot every layup left handed using one hand, even when he is on the right side of the basket. The friend says Beverly is right handed. Inquiring minds want to know…

If Coach says our “identity” is defense, well our defense better be creating some offense.

Actually our identity is a poor high school girls offense. We might as well jack up 3’s from half court.
