Minnesota (4-1) vs Wichita State (5-0) Game Discussion: Nov 28 (Thu)

[shockerofandover0943]

Offense has to be better in the second half.

Bell can’t commit turnovers when every time he touches the ball, it is just a forced shot on a drive.

Defense struggled covering 2-man game that half. Resulted in a bunch of easy layups. That’s why the Minnesota 2pt% is so high.

[ShockRef]

We are not a highly intelligent basketball team.

Beverly has made at least 3 bone head decisions.

This is kind of game where someone, (I'm thinking McGinness) is going to have to make a difference.
When you play these in season tournaments at places neither team is familiar with, shooting percentages typically are not that good.

WSU defense has been good (I'll take giving up 24 at the break every time) but they had multiple chances to break away and get separation.
Shots just didn't fall.

Minnesota watched the STL game tape very closely and has made decision to stop WSU from attacking rim.
Someone, anyone is going to have to hit some perimeter shots to open up driving lanes in 2nd half.

That is all.

Mainly just ESPN and only talking about the SEC

At least with ESPN+ we get a halftime discussion on the game being shown.

[forevershockerfan]

A very winnable game.

“We understand this is a halftime show for basketball, but did you know the new college football playoffs bracket was just released? Oh you do and don’t care? Too bad. Let’s talk about Georgia and Miami for the entire halftime”

Out of one of the timeouts they couldn't help themselves from showing the Chickenhawk logo and mentioning them too.

Not surprising. I just turn it off during halftime and ignore thinks until I hear the buzzer.

[Ta Town Shocker]

Cannot believe we doubled again and gave up another layup to Mitchell.

[Stickboy46]

Ugh hill. No need to shove off

[Stickboy46]

And rebounding is killing us

[Stickboy46]

JFC. Just lay it in

Instead of going up 6, it's down to 1

[TrackSuitAndTie]

Ballard keeps getting lost around the rim

[Stickboy46]

Let me guess they are going call that a flagrant 17 and kick Washington out for the year

[Ta Town Shocker]

Based on other games I've watched, guessing this will be a flagrant due to contact in the head area

[shocks02]

Defensive boards are a problem because Corey is focused on Garcia. If we can get some baskets on the break I think we can open up a lead.

[Aargh]

Minnesota has their game plan down. Every time Ballard doubles a driver in the lane they pass to the wide open guy coming down the baseline. It's lather, rinse, repeat on that play.
