Shockers at Redbirds Game Thread

#3 Miami wins with 43 pts. I say we upstage them by winning with 42 pts.

Switching man and zone defenses in the same possession is a seldom used strategy. I like it because it always seems to confuse the offensive team.

Too bad it led to a made 3.

Ill St is playing very aggressive D. Hopefully, we can find some back cuts and open shots. They are overplaying everything.

Somehow we kept within striking distance after playing probably our worst half of the season. Hopefully, we can stay within striking distance in the 2nd half and perhaps steal a win at the end. But this is not a game that gives you much confidence that will happen.

Nope, tis team has stunk it up equally multiple times this season.

Only 7 down after that showing is not as bad as I thought. We are not getting much 'bang for our buck' with all these clanker 3's. Mike Kennedy said before the game that these birds are 11-1 when getting more throws than the other team. Instead of gaining the advantage we could have inside and getting them to foul, we instead foul too much, miss our throws way too much, and settle for 3's too much. However, if we get busy, we can still overcome 7 measly points. We need this win but we have to seize the win and play smart and execute from start to finish for 20 minutes. Let's do this thing Shocks!!!

Clemson got hosed in last few seconds on charging call. Replay clearly shows blocking.

Shocks actually outscored ILS from the field 18-16 on 8 made FG's to 6 for ILS. The game turned on the 13-2 ILS advantage in made free throws.

Didn't look like it confused anybody... They hit a 3 off of it

BTW, enjoying watching the game with my 6 day old son! Gotta start them young. Maybe HCGM can start looking at him. 8lb 14oz and 21.5 inches at birth. I'm thinking a 3.

Somehow this makes me feel better.

Aside from EO, the post guys have not gotten position worth a darn tonight. That MUST change this half or we are screwed.

Carl and Cle have to do work, and the guards have to actually get them the ball.

Shocks gave up a 17-0 run to ILS in the 1st half. This is getting to be a really, Really, REALLY bad habit for this team.

And you knew that timeout wasn't coming.

When did DW start shooting "dew drop" treys?
