    If VCU fans understood the Carl Hall situation I don't think they would be booing every time he touched the ball. He only came to WSU because of the $50,000. Except the $50,000 didn't go to Carl it went to the NCAA for them to grant his 6th year of eligibility. If he would've gone to VCU he'd be in Europe right now because they wouldn't have been able to afford the payoff.

      He's pretty good bringing it up against the press as well. And manufacturing a play with the clock running down.

        Seems like we have a slugfest between two pretty evenly matched teams who are both willing and able to make a max effort on defense.

          Our defense at this stage is much better than I expected. We can hope the offense picks up as well.

            NOPE!!! We are NOT intimidated one iota. Our beloved Shocks are fighting fire with fire. They are missing throws and that is awesome. The fact that we are on the road is not bothering us. Keep up the hard work Shocks. So far, so good. We could really use this win but will have to earn every solitary point and break we get.
            Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

                This game may come down to which team is mentally tougher. That would normally favor the more experienced team (VCU), but the Shocks seem to have some pretty tough minded individuals on up and down their roster as well.

                Who will be able to fight through the fatigue late in the game and be able to make plays?

                  The first half played out like I feared it would on the offensive side. Our defense has been pretty dang good, preventing VCU from taking advantage of our mistakes. I have a feeling they will start getting some points off of TOs. If we settle down just a little bit and choose our shots more carefully I like our chances to get the W.

                    How deep is VCU? How deep has their bench gone so far in the first half?

                      Too Early for that. This game won't break us, but it could go a long way towards making us what we want to be.

                      Go Shocks!

                          We need to get Hall the ball inside. And do it a lot.

                            I'm hoping for a close game. It'll be fun to see if this team has a clutch gene that I thought the last group was lacking.

                              They've got good depth. Could be wrong, but I think they played 9 in the first half. Both teams have horses for the second half.

                              I wanna see Carl get more looks down low this half.

                                Not too early if we win. :)
