Official Shocks-Ugly Dawgs thread

Does anyone else wonder why we let the other team off the hook for 26 seconds of every critical possession? Makes no sense to me, especially when the opponent will have time to answer if you wait until the last second to shoot...

Higgins did call it. He is a douche. Always has been.

It was Randall.

Can someone explain to me how a $1.5 Million Dollar Coach can't see that Fred brought the team back and actually made plays and Armstead didn't do jack all night? I know the kids have to make the plays but I am really questioning several of the coaching decisions over the last 2-3 weeks. This offense has sucked but we keep running this stand still joke of an offense, no set plays, just the guards standing with the ball 5 feet behind the arc. Where has our tough press gone? I saw it early in the year, now all I see is a token press. Again, the kids still have to make the plays, but we are paying quite a chunk of change for coach to put them in positions to make those plays....not sure that is happening recently.

after watching the insu game (home, 13 pt loss) and uni game (road, crap 11-11 team), this is more of the same. nit worthy efforts

I totally disagree. No way are these NIT worthy efforts.

Well, several things.

1. One billion people in China AND one billion people in Indian don't care. That is a total of 2 billion +
2. KC Shox can't help mentioning "KU" - he's almost as bad as Chris Hubris.
3. I am very comforted to know that refs don't decide games.
4. Magnum Opus on Kansas' "Leftoverture" still sounds aweome
5. I think we might see some starting line-up changes.
6. There are still a lot of games left - seriously
7. Don't pay no heed to my predictions
8. Man looks in the abyss, there's nothing staring back at him. At that moment, man finds his character. And that is what keeps him out of the abyss.
9. Basketball is a child's game
10. People think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk. -Stephen King

Wouldn't it be nice to have Cleanthony's goal tend on Fred's layup back?
Wouldn't it be nice to have Malcolm's missed layups back?
Wouldn't it to be nice to have our big men quit just running over shorter players rather than shooting over them?
Wouldn't it be nice to have this team not give up big runs?
Wouldn't it be nice for us to watch a game again and be proud of the teams grit and toughness?

Good stuff, ABC, including the reason for the edit.

We will find out the character of this team, because they are in the abyss right now.

You posted to say you weren't going to post?

I deleted what I had originally typed and toned it down by 90%.

[KC Shox]

Who gives a flying F about the last possession of the game. We should have NEVER been in that position in the first place. This team packed it in when they got up by 17 like a bunch of top 25 wannabe prima donnas, thinking SIU would just lay down on them. The game was lost before the last possession.

No one in this conference is afraid of anybody. When are the Shox going to learn that.

Get FVV in there now. Let him get that valuable PT while a freshman as we'll need some solid PG play next season. Our NCAA hopes are dashed, might as well get him the experience for the future. Give Wiggins more PT too.

23 - 9 and NIT birth is my prediction folks.

At first I didn't catch that it was 79 quoting 72, and I thought 72 was talking to, arguing with, and quoting himself. :)

At this point I'm sure a lot of us are talking to ourselves.

The early substitutions were awesome. Then the subbing stopped and we became stale. At the end of the first half Jake White was the only one showing MTXE. In fact he got our first layup in the second half after Cle and Hall drew fouls.

The boat was taking on water until Captain Van Vleet came in. More FVV please. The freshman has more poise and better decision making skills than our senior does right now.

The game also turned around when EO hit the floor. Two big defensive stops that led to easy offense. More EO please.

Well we still are not calling time-outs to stop double digit runs from occurring. I don't think there are many competent teams in The nation that have giving up huge runs in this many back to back games....at some point reality has to set in for HCGM...

I'm not blaming this entirely on 3G. He didn't blow a huge lead and he didn't allow SIU to go on a 40something to 10something run.

This game is on each player and every coach. They need to do some gut checking and figure out if they want to win this year, or let this just be yet another shocker team that doesn't live up to potential.

Any day of the week ABC, I'll meet you at the Koch to show you my WSU transcripts and diploma. Your keyboard confidence is pathetic and your attempts to brandish me a KU lover is tired. I'll put my money where my mouth is, why don't you take me up on my offer? In fact, I'll cater to your schedule. Go ahead and name the time and place, I'll do whatever. What say you?
