Originally posted by Ta Town Shocker View PostThat's understandable. I was referring more to the lack of single game ticket sales as row 34 was empty for the most part. To the best of my knowledge there weren't really any promotions for this game like there have been in the past for weeknight games.

I would love to see us switch on most(if not all) screens. I don't care if Orukpe gets switched onto their point guard. I'd rather take my chances with that than watch their guards get continuous open looks from 8 feet.

Originally posted by another shocker View Postinsu was so well prepared + motivated, with nothing to lose. 'shockers may as well get used to it.
uni will probably bring that same formula this saturday. and at ilsu and at siu and at cu etc., will bring their best, too.

Originally posted by Snapshot9 View PostWhen are we gong to learn to defend against the dribble drive. Too often an opponent will get past the first guy and then have a clear path to the baskiet. We stood around and just passed back and forth around the arc last night. Half the time, Van Vleet acts like he doesn't know what to do. Armstead's shooting was terrible last night, usually we can count on him scoring more. This better be a wake-up for the team, that they can NOT take any team for granted. They played the first half uninspired.

Originally posted by SHOXMVC View PostI hope it was a wake up call to our players and coaches. Be prepared + motivated and play like there is nothing to lose. Lets hope teams have to get used to that.

Originally posted by shockmonster View PostI really like Nick and I think that sometimes Armstead is very good and sometimes he becomes enamored with himself and shoots too much. I do think that Nick is a stand and jump shooter. If you make him put the ball on the floor, he isn't nearly as good. He's very much like Ogirri in that way and Ogirri could be completely taken out of his offense if you made him put the ball on the floor and drive. When Nick is moving off of a pick or has to put the ball on the floor, he isn't as good. He makes almost all of his shots by jump shooting long range or driving the ball all of the way to the basket and dunking. He has great games shooting the 3 ball and then he disappears the next if the defense puts pressure on him. He needs to expand his game.

Not much to add to what already has been covered. The standing and dribbling thing against the zone puzzles me. Maybe we are trying hypnosis as a new offensive weapon, the thought crossed my mind. I thought it was telling when during a timeout, the GS 1000 point question came up. They said he crossed that threshold against ISUb with a 29 point game. I realized how sorely we could have used some of that inside presence and how do get a little of that back. Time to pull out game films from the last couple of years on how we were able to move the ball around quickly and finding an open look, dribble drive or entry pass down low. The ball movement back then was a thing of beauty when we had it going. Final thought, I felt bad for the Womens Volleyball team and the unfurling of the Sweet 16 banner. It just came at a bad time. We were fighting trying to get back into the game (early 2nd half), all amped up, frustrated, PO'd, and then we take time to honor their accomplishment, emotional extremes. I apologize for not giving you the full respect you ladies deserved ( I understand when they planned this presentation it was impossible to know what the mood would be like). Reaper, what is my penance?

Originally posted by Ricardo del Rio View PostI get to the arena about the same time. I like the shoot around and I really enjoy Wiggins. I remember his streak, but I was not counting shots. I just knew he was shooting lights out. He does that at most every shoot around.
Many are not as enthusiastic as I am about Nick, but I am here to tell you that he is a scoring machine. Get him the ball in a little bit of space.
An aside: I just hate it, when Malcomb is throwing up contested 3 balls, early in the clock and out of rythm. Some of his corner 3 balls last night stood zero chance of going in.
