The shocks aree attempting all sorts of creative ways of screwing the shocks.

Yikes. This was terrible. We are not NCAA worthy right now if you ask me.

why call that foul for Baker? HE got fouled harder last time with no call

Can't disagree.... we sucked tonight... but I guess a W is a W. Tomorrow is going to be painful unless our guards get their heads out of their butts...

[kcshocker11]

Wow, good win, now on to the next

[ShockerPrez]

Got it done, but I dont know whether to be optimistic or worried.

Eh. Really bad shooting night from the starters, and really bad night on fouls. Part of those bad calls from the refs, part of them Marshall flopping and manipulating the rules, most of them just stupid fouls on the press.

Still won handily, though, and we accomplished the main goal: Win while getting tons of minutes for our bench. We spread out the minutes very well and if the tournament comes down to depth and being rested, we have a tremendous advantage.

We know how good this team can be. And having Baker back makes us that much better. Now we just have to play like it.

We shot well. We dominated the boards. Only two guys (Hall & MA) were over 30 minutes (31 apiece). Good amount of assists. But way too many fouls, poor shooting from the line, and bad shooting from 3 by everyone not named Baker (1-11).

[SHOXAAC]

Our senior guards...play like our freshman guard.

[XManCometh]

Alright, I'm tired of hearing about how the "refs are screwing the poor shox" talk. They fouls were exactly the same. The refs missed calls both ways. We were 4-16 from 3 and 13-21 from the line. The shox made more mistakes than the refs.

I'll see you all tomorrow and thanks to Ron. Without you we're heading to the NIT because the rest of our guards decided tonight was the night to shoot 15% from the field.

[jocoshock]

That was painful. Should have stopped at the liquor store on the way home tonight... Will have to crack open that cheap bottle of wine.... ughh.....

[The 'hut]

Win and move on. Another day to get contributions from those who couldn't play the game today. This team can be bad, but also scary good. Shocks need to find that.

The bench made the difference in this game. Ron Baker and Jake White.

BTW, where's Cold?
