WICHITA STATE (8-6, 0-1) at TEMPLE (7-7, 0-1) Game Thread

Seriously Mills, can we change the effing offensive game plan. This **** clearly doesn't work.

pretty obvious he's not going to change anything

[ShockerFever]

Nope, all the players fault, gotta wait 3-5 years for Mills to get the right players and turn this around.

He definitely gets longer than a 1/2 year recruiting cycle.

I do not think Cortes adds much of anything. Especially with 0 assists and all turnovers. Not supporting Bell, but Cortes is not good

It isn't either or .. they both need to be on the court. Pay attention to our defensive energy with Cortes off the court vs on the court. Also pay attention to Bell's production when Cortes is on the court vs off the court.

It's also comical how every other team seems to have guys that can shoot or scheme to get guys open for 3s except us.

Rogers and others have had several open 3's. They just missed them.

[BAShocker]

Nothing new. Temple being more physical. We are weak, again.

[Mr. Pickle]

Rogers and others have had several open 3's. They just missed them.

Hence the first part of my statement. Tons of recruiting misses and poor coaching/scheming.

Can’t believe we’re getting run out of the gym against a 200+ team in front of 400 fans.

Also letting a guy who looks like he should be playing pickup ball at the Y shoot us out of the gym.

[wichshock65]

Looks like it will be the typical DOWN by 10 at half....

Nailed it!

[pinstripers]

Rawhide is on. Roots also.

[NCAABound]

I feel like I am watching WSU/Drake in 1994 from the Knapp Center

[Woodrow]

We need to pound it inside to Ballard. They can't guard him.

[pinstripers]

We don't have anybody who can stay with that fat, slow, white guy

[jcdshocker]

Ridgnal responds with 10 first half rebounds

[Aargh]

And what exactly is his offensive game plan? Honest question.

Space the floor for drives into the lane and then kick out to an open 3-point shooter if the drive gets stopped. That's what he did at ORU and ORU was one of the most proficient 3-point shooting teams in the nation last year. Of course they did have an AA PG and 3-4 guys who could hit from 3.

[forevershockerfan]

Ground Hog day with the same O same O. We get a nice lead, get complacent and early on in the shot clock, our weak 3 point shooters start clanking up bricks. Next thing you know, same-o same-o deficit at the half. Still a winnable game
but can we quit not defending and not playing smart please?
