Arch Madness Semi-Finals: Dirty Birds vs. Shockers Game Thread

[wu_shizzle]

Lack of pure shooters?

Nope, inability to be aggressive and get into it.

[Rlh04d]

IllSt now about to have an 11-0 FT advantage.

Combine that with our inability to do anything against the zone, and a blow out is back to being competitive.

We have a 13 rebound advantage and are nearly doubling their FG%, but only up by 4.

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

Wow Carl kinda took that like a *****

[ShockerPrez]

Helluva TO. Great gameplan.

WTF is this?

I dont get it. SIU game all over again.

[another shocker]

ilsu was going to make a run.. but don't give in to this team tried to punk you, shockers.

[Rosewood]

Yeah, that was a foul?

I swear the refs have money on this

[Dshocker]

UN-****ing-BELIEVABLE!

[ShockerPrez]

Throw it inside anf get fouled.

Ridiculous.

[ShockerFever]

Typical. Let up off the gas and settling for garbage last second shot clock jump shots. What a freaking joke.

Had a chance to stomp on these turdrockets and hammer them home and now we let the little bitches back into it. Way ta go.

[shock-it-to-me]

We're in serious trouble. Halftime can't get here soon enough. Hope coach can work some magic in the locker room and get something going against the zone.

[ShockerPrez]

Every game. Our offense disappears.

UN-****ing-BELIEVABLE!

It's all too believable unfortunately.

[Veritas]

Not worried. IlSU had a run. We'll hit some 3s to break the zone.
The Redbird spirit will be broken.

[The 'hut]

I ****ing hate the announcers

While I agree, the one dude was spot on about the wasted ball screen against the zone and the guards who cannot shoot need to attack the creases on the bounce, draw the double team and dish. That is basketball one-O-one.

I think its time HCGM pulls a winthrop moment (That I saw so many times when he was coach here) and call a timeout, stand up on a chair, gather the team around, and scream until he is red in the face....
