Saint Louis (1-1) vs Wichita State (4-0) Game Discussion: Nov 22 (Fri)

[wichshock65]

Our free throw defense has been outstanding the past 2 games.

[AZ Shocker]

We pretty good!!! Nice win and impressed with the "taking it to the rim" style. Way less turnovers this year! We bring that defensive energy every night with this type of forcing the refs to make a call offensive philosophy...one can ask...how do you stop us? Oh Shockers...you got my heart again!!! Bring "that" EVERY NIGHT!!!

GO SHOCKS!!!

[shock]

Doesn’t include the countless throw-it-up-at-the-rim shots that have zero chance of going in that are essentially turnovers.

Probably 1/4-1/3 of his misses. What’s his fg?

[proshox]

Great performance. Gotta love a game like that.

I waited till 5:30 to get ticket from StubHub. Ticket in section107 was $20 plus $14,50 fees. Ended up paying more for parking and refreshment at arena.

Got to arena by 7:00 in time to see all of Iowa / Utah State game. Iowa probably had the largest crowd from any school. UTS the smallest, so it was great to see the Iowa fans all upset.

Really glad to see that WSU brought the pep band and spirt squads. The only school to do that. Other schools only had local high school pep bands.

pretty impressive clip

He's shooting 38% on two pointers. 18 misses total on two pointers. So add 5-6 turnovers? So still just one a game at that rate I guess

Nice win for the Shocks. I think I was one of the few to pick against them, but I didn't have any idea who would even be playing. Clearly they are a different team when Ballard is playing. Can't wait for the next one. And go Shocks!

That’s better than what I assumed. His bone head decisions might bring him more disdain than what is actually deserved. I’m definitely one of those that defaults to assuming the worst from him.

Ballard didn’t play much in the second half. Maybe 4-5 minutes. Maybe.

Anyone on here who saw a 25 point curb stomping coming Friday night after the dreadful Monday game sees nothing but Black and Gold through their glasses.
They were focused, physical and played together.

Just wondering if HCPM maybe made his thoughts clear to the team after Monday and it had the desired effect.

This team is not glamorous to watch, very workman like and effective when they play together.
They have a couple who can bomb away from trey land (McGinness sure had nice stroke Friday night), but will win mostly with defense and attacking the rim.
Having a stud PG sure makes things look better too.

Just win baby!

That is all.

Joy IGotVodka --- what a great nickname.

You know, there was quite a few open 3s and fts missed this last game, and I wonder if it had to do with the pace of the game. We’re playing at a much higher, aggressive pace and you have to think that it’s taking the energy from their legs. So much hard to make shots then than normal, even if we don’t get a hand in their face.
