[Stickboy46]

LOL

We are now ranked ~20 spots ahead of KSU in the NET. Playing k State doesn't help us much

Just returned a couple days ago from a vacation where I couldn't even watch the last two games. That was some great timing!!!

At least we aren't the only team that quits when they get behind.

I have done my share of criticizing Bell, but he was good last night. Just once or twice that he forced.

Apparently Mills has had enough of Hill going one on five at the end of games and sent him a strong message last night that we will play as a team or sit down. That is a coach trying to build a team and a program that does that.

What a fun atmosphere. So unfortunate this game hasn't been played every year for the last 25 as it should be played for the next 50 years. But we all know KSU only like's to play when they think our program will be down.
Somebody please take this decision away from the coaches and just tell them it will happen every year.

[Topshock]

On another note, Shocker fans showed up. While there were quite a few KSU fans, the only thing they painted purple were the isles the last five minutes of the game.

Look at all your negative comments just in this thread about how bad we are going to lose. I am glad you finally said something half way positive after the game.

if I have to explain my comments to you, maybe your 6th grade education limits your understanding. Quit complaining about everything. It must suck to be you.

No, please enlighten my 6th grade brain what you meant about “unable to support the team so you can’t criticize”. Please explain it to me. Unless you realize you said something stupid, which then you won’t.

90% of your posts here are you complaining about me. Practice what you preach, or flip me on the ol ignore list.

Why do you show up tooting the horn only after wins? Bandie.

[ShockerFever]

It definitely sucks to be him!

DePaul likely won't win a game in the big east. Similarly k State is going to be bottom of the big 12.

Either way.. Great win. I'm not sure it fully clears the **** smell from losing to UMKC... But hopefully it's something to build on. That effort gets us top 2 in conference. The key is if they can give it consistently

We’ll now lose to friends.

Reading the Taylor article on XB. Wow he gets it. No doubt he deserves to wear this uniform. Not always a great player, but always a great representative of our university.

also, last night absolutely “clicked” things into place for a LOT of people how you win and drive support here. Players, staff, admin etc. Let’s see if they can execute

[ShockRef]

Cortez was outstanding in the 2nd half running the team. He came in with about 13 minutes to go in the 2nd. Score was 45-44 we were behind. He played the rest of the half and we won by 19 points. In my opinion that is about all we could ask of a point guard. Well done Bijan!

Anyone who saw this win coming is not being truthful - especially after the dog turd they layed Tuesday night.
Give the guys and the coaches credit, they could have sulked, pointed fingers and fell into the toilet Saturday night.
But they came together, played hard with energy and essentially toyed with the Cats the last 5 minutes of the games.

Give Bell his due.
Hometown kid who had the game of his life against an in-state rival and was legit in puffing out his chest as the last few seconds ticked off.

Not meaning to throw the turd into the punch bowl, but this team is not a very good rebounding team.
Case in point KState totally out rebounded them, especially offensive rebounds.

Final stat was 16-9 offensive rebounds, favor to K-State.
WSU does not have any players who go after rebounds like one is bowl full of gold.
Oh yea, if the missed shot happens to land in their hands, they got it.

But as far as boxing out and pursuing the ball while in air - nobody on the team is doing it.
And it will come back to cost them dearly as they venture into league play.
Will DeGray help, sure any help is welcomed.
But they need others to play like snagging rebounds is the key to winning games.

That is all.

[shock]

Running Ballard and Bosnjak together was awesome to watch. To apply ratings like a video game, Ballard is an 84/85 C, Bosnjak is probably a 76 C. I think Bosnjak is an 86/87 PF. What I saw from him tonight is something I have not seen from a white big man since Paul Miller. That is a combo that can blow a game wide open.

is there any chance of getting Meeks back this year??

My point for your pea brain is that quit complaining about the team, the coach and the AD. Life is too short to try and insult real fans. One thing you are not. 39,000 of your post are negative. Do you beat the dog or your significant other every night when things don’t go your way?

FYI - I am anything but bandie AH. Show your ignorance again and again.

lol “real” fans. What does that mean? Are you suggesting I’m not a “real” fan? Because I’m not 100% positive about the direction of the basketball program? lol eat a bag of dicks.

I and anyone else here can complain, opinionate whatever the **** we want. You cry about insulting people and complaining about people yet you can’t stop doing it in the same effing post. You’re an ignorant doucheknobbed hypocrite.

And yes you’re a bandie. You only show up here after wins. I’m freaking here win or lose. Ya crusty ignorant twatwaffle.

Washington's head and shoulder fake is what I have been requesting for all Shocks shooting in traffic. Teamwork last night was possibly the best this Season. The 2nd half proved the Shockers really wanted and understood they could move on from an awful loss and defeat those Wildcats.

The Calvary is coming with 3 solid injured Shox to build our bench options to blend in due time.

22-24 on throws and sharing and shooting the rock better makes winning suweet. Rebounding and 3 point shooting must improve. Our strength so far is points in the paint first and then kicking it out for 3s IMO.

No doubt that our AAC foes will be packing the lane. Also,
is there any AAC team that can stop QB when he gets the ball
in close? These foes will all try and get him in foul trouble early.

Speaking of Paul Miller I saw him at the game last night. He still looks like he could suit up and play some. Some additional thoughts...the aisle lighting was pretty cool and was used along with the fans cell phones during player introductions. I know quite a few people hated the promotions during the game and the timing of them but those have pretty much been eliminated but I would like to see the kid dunk contest brought back. I really liked that promo. Ate and drank at Fuzzys before the game and one family that sat next to us was all decked out in k-state colors except for their youngest boy. I mentioned he seemed out of place and his dad just smiled and said "He's adopted". He did explain though that he grew up watching RB and FVV and still loves the Shocks. What a great kid. Before the game started as I stated previously I was sitting next to a couple of k-state fans when what did I see standing in the aisle looking for his seats but a young man wearing a ku sweater. I nudged the k-state guy and nodded towards the miscreant. His most candid response was WTF is he doing? Typical Anyway I thought the WSU crowd was very courteous to our guests and I thanked the two next to me for coming and supporting their team. Of course the student section boo'ed the k-state players when they took the floor before the game but their fans did the same when the Shocks took the floor. Go Shocks
