SMU (13-6, 4-2) at WSU (8-11, 0-6) GAME THREAD

[pogo]

I felt the biggest difference today over the most recent losses was defense. SMU couldn't get their baseline players an open/uncontested shot. The Shocks closed down on the outside shooters better than they have all year in my estimation. Better execution on switches and less distance to close on the shooter. SMU hit a couple of fade away jumpers as it seems every team the Shocks play has several of and we missed some bunnies a the rim or the game might not of been as close. All in all driving home my wife looked at me and said "I'm exhausted" but you know so was I but it sure felt great. Go Shocks

That play reminded me of a scrum from 2018 against Temple where (of all people) Shaq got in the floor and ripped it away from the opposition. The arena went absolutely ape **** crazy on that play and Shaq’s subsequent block on the other end.

Gosh, I miss that raucous CKA crowd.

I too miss those crowds but those of us that were there made it known that we can still make noise. Go Shocks

[pogo]

So does that count as TWO offensive rebounds?

Oh, I agree. Those who were in the building today brought it strong.

It's so nice to look at the box score and see more assists than turnovers!

whew...

I am beginning to change my mind on wanting the crowds to return. It was so nice today.

It was very easy driving into campus. It was very easy to find a parking place. There were no lines thru security, at the concessions or bathrooms or anywhere. It was nice spreading out with plenty of room. We didn't have to worry about the people next to us crowding us out or the people behind us yelling at us to sit down or the people in front of us telling us to stop yelling in their ears, because there was absolutely nobody around us. It was complete bliss. We could spread out and easily eat and enjoy our food and drink. It was also very easy leaving after the game. It was actually a lot more enjoyable than normal. It didn't even hurt that we only had about 12 students in the entire student section.

My wife said after the game that it was the best game she had ever been to. So please keep staying away. The 2500 of us or so can make enough noise to help the team to victory and have a lot more enjoyable time in the process.

I love DR's energy. He cracks me up. Looks like he is trying to hurt RD after the timeout in this clip.

Great balanced scoring yesterday. 29 bench points.

The highlights of that game reminded me of how every team somehow shot lights out from 3 against us that year

Maybe it was just a KU loss (again) that made yesterday so nice. And the Memphis loss? Boy that was icing on the cake.

this game was a coming out party for Degray. Between he and Ridgnal, they provided the X factor at the 4 position. Gonna be hard for Abbide to get minutes if they keep playing like that.

It was the upside down backward 2s holding us back all along!

Then Bijan Cortes should be having an exponential breakout.
