What was their home game win streak???

Dunno, but they are like 110% at home since, like, forever.

Well I hope this an indication of what kind of a road team we will be. I think it was @SubGod22: who asked what if we play poorly and won. Well I guess that question deserves an answer.

I guess it proves we have some toughness on this team that you just have to have.

Depends on what you feel is playing poorly. Defensively that was an OUTSTANDING effort. They cut down on turnovers in the 2nd half. Really the only thing they did extremely poorly was shooting the ball. Luckily for us there is more to the game than just shooting %'s :)

Couldn't be more excited for this team!

For those with ESPNU, how was the VCU gym? Was it sold out and did it live up to THEIR hype?

[ShockerPrez]

We shot good in the last 2 minutes. Good enough.

Watched the game at Larry Buds where WSU game got sound and KU did not.....very happy right now!

This deserves a bump. They've been good to Shocker fans for years and always get my patronage when I come back to town.

Not many places in town will mute a KU game against a ranked team.

Absolutely. You will have nights you can't hit the ocean (i.e. Drake last year). To be able to pull out a win against a good team on the road on one those nights is a huge positive.

Seemed loud, but no character.

Gregg Marshall is an offensive mastermind. Come winter, Shockers should start clicking on offense (D is always there, of course).

[Capitol Shock II]

Wow....I feel like going over to their board and talking trash. I won't stoop....

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

Didnt see the last 5 minutes. Pissed off. Oh well just glad we won.

[Rixtoy1]

Didn't see the game.
So how about the post game coaches hand shake?

It was OK - Greg put his hand on Shaka's shoulder and spoke to him for a second - I think he said "Now, go out and win your F'ing conference" . . .
Seriously - it looked fine.
