East Carolina (9-9) at Wichita State (11-6) Game Discussion: Jan 18 (Sat)

Incoming loss, book it. ECU took Memphis to the wire. We got boatraced by the bottom of the barrel.

[Aargh]

Because that's worked so well?

Still looking for East Carolina on my map.

Wichita is too a state, I went there*: 80
East Carolina State: 69

*HBO's 1st and Ten

No promotion is going to have a positive effect on attendance this Saturday unless it includes putting the Chiefs game on the video board.

I was at a Cardinals baseball game a few years ago and they were playing the Blues playoff game on the big screen. It wouldn’t be a horrible idea to have the game going. Why not try something different to get butts in the seats.

Just curious, are there TV’s set up in the practice gym showing games that anyone can go in to watch (prior to the game/at halftime etc.), or is it just for SASO members? Or am I dreaming?

[ShockBand]

If the guest wifi in the arena is robust enough, people could just stream it on their phones if they have the right service. I'm old enough to remember occasionally bringing my handheld TV in the pre digital TV days to follow something else during a Shocker game, usually football.

chiefs game should be close to over by the time the wsu game starts, it may be over at halftime.

If you are practicing the right things that might be worthwhile other than not have any legs left on game day. If your practicing the wrong things you just get worse.

One thing that bothered me a little when Mills was hired was his comment that he believes players should work more on there strengths and less on their weaknesses. In some ways, I can see that philosophy playing out on the court for the Shocks.

Lmao says he’s not gonna let 10% define other 90%. The entire season has been garbage just about. We’ve seen what he’s really made of.

****.

[asiseeit]

He had it right earlier..............we are bad. This team has very little synergy.

E. Carolina beat us both games last Season. At home we lost 54-52. We had 19 turnovers to their 9. Beverly led us with 18 pts. QB blocked 7 shots and had 5 pts.

Then at their barn they beat us 68-55. QB had 4 pts.

Scoring against these Pirates or utilizing QB on offense was like pulling hens teeth.

What I got from that article (as I read all the way to the end) is why are the Shocks so dang short. LOL Wichita State is like the one place where 6'5" and 6'6" big men come to get their hopes and dreams swatted away by taller players.
