WSU vs. Charleston Southern game thread

Is it just me, or are our perimeter players awful at rubbing against the screener? Every time a post player comes up top to set a screen, the guards dribble about 3 feet away from the screener allowing the defender to just slide right through.

I've been complaining about that since early in Turgeon's tenure. Proper use of screens doesn't seem to be taught anymore. That's all I can figure. When I hear Nick Wiggins say no coach has ever expected him to dive on the floor for a loose ball or play tough defense, it wouldn't surprise me.

Either 3G doesn't have a zone offense or this team refuses to run it. This is brutal. Why any team would play man against us is beyond me.

Now we know why seemingly more athletic players were riding pine.

We need to try and push it before they can set their zone.

I had assumed it was their defense. The D has looked pretty good tonight. And they have done it without fouling. Of course CSU's game plan has something to do with the few fouls.

Maybe I'm glad I can't watch this.

Nothing is going to be easy between now and February.

I almost wish I couldn't.

I'm sorry that coach doesn't like to play wiggins, but he's playing well and needs to get more chances like this.

Well, we didn't look good and only trail by 1 at halftime. Only need to be a little better in the second half.

Man do we miss Carl.

I would like to see FVV dribble penetrate, maybe throw up a pump fake, do something that looks more believable when going around a screen. You can see a million miles away right now he is not going to drive or shoot it...so easy to defend him, and hes so good, but hes really not believable this game..

[wu_shizzle]

With the players we have on the floor, we should be able to get into the zone. It would be great to have Carl battling in there, but CL and EO should be able to get the ball close to the rim.

What's the half time score? I lost all sound.

[GoShockers89]

Shockervision's volume is unbelievably annoying tonight- you can baaaarely hear MK but they blare the everliving eff out of the music/PA announcements.

Watch it on espn3 online, much much better
