Bluejays @ Shockers Game Thread

[McShocker]

Just watched the game again. The defense we played the last 5 minutes was absolutely AMAZING. The only field goal, if I'm not mistaken, was the possession they played 5 on 4 because Early was in backcourt. Among the best stretches of defense I've ever seen us play.

Show your Wichita State Shocker pride AND your cleavage AND in the same pic. Let's show KU that WE have the best breasts in the Mid-West.

You can get your point across without spamming 5 threads. It's too bad you couldn't find any real Shocker knockers, but instead had to photoshop a WSU logo onto that shirt.

Don't get me wrong, I like your idea, but maybe you should keep it all to one thread.

Still upset that we can stop the game cause fatty got too much gut-sweat on the ball, but not when a player is on the floor at the other end.

http://www.naia.org/fls/27900/1NAIA/...B_OEM_ID=27900 -- Rule book ; Rule 5, Section 10, Articles 6-7 (including Sect A)

Art. 6. Suspends play immediately when necessary to protect an injured player.
Art. 7. Suspends play after the ball is dead or controlled by the injured player’s
team or when the opponents complete a play after a player is injured.
a. A play shall be completed when a team withholds the ball from play by
ceasing to attempt to score or advance the ball to a scoring position.

Ok, obviously the play was moving away from Cle so they didn't need to stop it right away. Personally that rule needs to be amended so that staff is allowed on the other half of the court to tend to the injured player. Imagine something like a bone break. There is no reason to let a player lay on the court an extra 20 seconds on display like that.

But on to Article 7, specifically section A. How I have always heard this rule was that they won't whistle a stop on a fast break. That seems fair enough. But once the other team stops trying to advance the ball and gets into their offense (which sCUm did) that is when the play should be stopped. And it really bothers me that it wasn't.

It bothers me a lot too. I kept yelling at the ref to stop play but they didn't listen.

Don't be so hard on Cy. With only 1 eye, he probably just didn't see the line to shake hands out of his peripheral vision.

A notable point! We should really cut Cy some slack.

When you take into consideration that he plays alongside a man who goes by the name of SloMo Gibbs (a name given to him not because of the way he deliberately plods around the court, but because he is such a genius that the world around him takes place in slow motion), as well as the reincarnation of Larry Bird, Cy needs all the support he can get.

Side note: some have reported SloMo Gibbs to have the brain of five men.

I wish I did. It was a blow up not unlike others over the 6 seasons for HCGM. He is a passionate individual that demands the best from everyone, and I mean everyone. It did not appear to be directed at one specific coach, but rather multiple coaches. It was a heat of the moment thing that they've all seen before.

Gregg Marshall earns every cent of his paycheck (and then some) with his talent, work ethic, virtue, and the years off his life he is losing due to his intense desire to make HIS basketball team the best in the country. You cannot have a coach with a killer attitude and not have some sparks fly. This guy is a winning machine and he does it the right way. Who are we to criticize his passionate outbursts until we've walked a mile in his shoes. It is quite obvious he knows what he is doing.

Wait. How many superheroes are on that team? Are you sure we shouldn't have rushed the court? After all, we have a team full of lowly 4th Place mortals. And by "team full" I mean a group with two broken hands, a fractured leg, two bad backs, and a couple of bad ankles.

Did I mention that what this team and this coaching staff is pulling off is nothing short of amazing? I hope everyone else is enjoying the ride as much as I am. Don't forget to pay for your share of the gas.

It is not photoshopped. Was trying to drum up support for a cause... which is Wichita State. Did not mean to offend or piss people off by that....trust me I don't like spammers either. Not making money off this. I'm just being a Shocker fan. Plus, KUBOOBS ridiculed me today saying our fanbase sucked ass and our chicks were flat chested. Guess I'll keep my posts on FB instead.

Our coach is getting a lot of mention for NCOY. Our team is getting a lot of mention as an E8 or better team. That's after losing 4 starters and 5 of the top 6 points and boards from last year. And going through a stretch with 3 starters out with injuries where the Shox only lost 1 game.

I think Marshall is going to get more NCOY votes for recruiting to replace 80% of his team's production than McDermott is going to get for recruiting his son.

[ShockerFever]

Jenn made some solid points on Sports Sunday. WAY too many 3's shot and it seems like everybody outside of Carl just wants to pop em instead of feeding the ball down low to a place we have a big advantage in. 4 of 23 was pretty bad. It's one thing to attempt that many 3's if we're a good 3-point shooting team. We're not. Simple as that.

[WSUwatcher]

After watching Saturdays game, I totally agree. Gibbs is absolutely the most intelligent player, as far as basketball IQ and how it applies to HIS team, that we will see.

Grant Gibbs is a GREAT teammate, and I wish the Shocks had him. It's no coincidence that he essentially never left the floor until he fouled out, and Creighton will miss him a LOT next year. If McDermott goes pro, they will have some serious replacing to do with him, Gibbs, and The Hulk all gone.

WSU also got a break on the flagrant foul called against Gibbs -- after seeing that replayed many times, I can't believe the refs said he threw the elbow violently. Not that I'm complaining; it's about time the Shocks got a close call, and as it turned out they didn't capitalize on the possession anyway. But I think the ESPN guys were absolutely right in doubting the flagrant-1 call.

I didn't say you had to leave. I just stated that I think there's a better way of getting support for your cause than posting the same thing in 5 consecutive threads. Create a thread yourself would've been a better option.

The call was correct. Doesn't matter if it was intentional or not. That's what it states in the rule book. Now, one can argue whether it's a bad rule or should be re-worded or re-evaluated. I think it probably should.

Speaking of Sports Sunday, Ms Bates (any relation to Norman?) was really hatin' on GS, dang women chill out. Also they showed footage of the game where Cle was driving for a layup and GE took a swipe and missed. Carl rebounded and put it in. During the play you see Echinacea literally shove the crap (shoulder level) out of his teamate Mr Gibbs trying to get back to the play. Nice guy, Hugo Chavez would be proud of you comrade (if he were coherent).

[AZ Shocker]

But even passionate people need a filter, especially those that perform their jobs in front of 10,505 supportive fans. Even though I didn't see it, it doesn't look good to some people that did see it. It's one thing to do it to players, but save the theatrics with assistants till after the game behind closed doors.

Really??? And you wanna win???
