WSU vs. Drake game thread

[tropicalshox]

Watching the replay (again). What a beautiful step back jumper by Nick with 11:25 to go.

...But I'm not holding my breath.

Darn, I was really hoping you would... :glee:

Aargh, the line of the year about Tekele..."Some guys come to play. He goes to work."

You a sportswriter???:)

Who ever gets the honor of defending SoW, better be prepared to not receive much help from his teammates on the floor. They will have plenty to do guarding their own man. sCUm is not as one dimensional as the press makes it seems. They have a very solid 7 and all can be dangerous. Even Dingman went off for 21 the other night. Wragge can fill it up in a hurry from the 3. With Chatman and Gibbs it's like having two PG on the floor, one being 6'5". Those two average 10.3 assist per game with only 3.3 TOs per game! Gibbs by himself has 83 assists to 15 TOs. That's a 5.5 A/T ratio....that's insane.

But enough ofsCUm. Onward to Bradley!!

Assists come fairly easy on that team - pass the ball to Dougie.

I understand your meaning, however, last night SoW had only 5 made FG.....CU had 19 assists.

Is it legal to consider the Drake win we gained last night to be a road win when they only had 2,792 folk attending? Mr. Wiggins had 18 points in 17 minutes. Nice boost at times we really needed it with Cle having foul issues.. EO had 10 points, 6 bounds, 3 steals, and 2 blocked shots and he D's it up. Cotton? Cotton did so many positive things, but his 4 steals, and lock-down D. was instumental to our win not to mention he lead our team with 7 bounds. Drake only had 7 team assists because our tough D. put their offensive schemes in a disarray. Jake was off last night but never quit hustling. D-Will and Armstead combined for 10 assists and 23 points. In case the Valley nas not noticed, our beloved Shocks are for real and not a pretender and will continue to be a contender.

[shock]

No, it wasn't halftime. 2,692 I believe.

That's just sad. Truly I feel for the fans, all 2k of them. That gym... No D1 athlete deserves that.

[shock]

I have a question. I have not read this entire thread and I work too much and dont get to see as many games as I would like but I follow the Shocks closely and Shockernet even closer but does anyone else ever feel like we are living on borrowed time? With all the injuries I keep expecting us to fall but we dont...are we really this good? Not trying to be negative just want the opinion of all who have more time than I do to evaluate this team. Also does anyone anticipate any issues when we are back to full strength as far as team chemistry or having to get to somewhat know each other again? Keep it rollin Shocks!...Lastly I am a slow typer...how the hell do you keep from getting kicked out from being able to submit a response? By the time I get somethin typed up and submit it tells me I am not logged in...any advise for this somewhat computer handicapped guy?

Check the box that says keep me logged in when you log in. You can always log out when you are finished.
Edit: I think it actually says Remember Me

I played a HS soccer game in front of more people than that!

The Knapp center sucks. It is nothing more than the Heskett Center with large retractable bleachers.

[mattdalt]

I am starting to think, that should we ever lose HCGM, it won't be from anything missing on our side, but from shitholes like the Knapp center. Doesn't he have to look around every now and then and ask himself, WTF?

Having been there I was trying to think how to describe it. You got it exactly right.

I was amazed at how crappy that place was when I was there. HS locker rooms. Classrooms attached. It os not an acceptable place as far as I am concerned.

[forevershockerfan]

I wonder if our SN Dream Team could conduct a scrimmage at Intrust and play our Varsity versus our JV team and draw 2,793 grateful fans which is 1 more than Drake had? We could even sign autographs with our SN names and tell war stories of times past? Muhahahahaaha

Road win at Drake and our RPI drops 2 spots according to realtimerpi.com Gotta love the Valley.
