Shockers vs. Panthers game thread

[SPEShockAlum]

Not sure this was discussed and I don't want to sift through 17 pages, but how great would it be to find an extra day on the front or back end of Gonzaga's trip to Wichita to play K-State and have WSU play them at the arena too? Talk about being the focal point of college basketball that week.

Coach and ADES should have that conversation with the fine folks from Spokane...

Good game Shox. Way to represent the Valley. Now let's keep on keepin' on..................

Am I the only one wondering where in the world has Demetric's offense gone? He used to be a major player, yet for so many games now, he seems like a minor role player. He used to be more like Armstead, but sure hasn't shown anything lately.

My thought is Demetric is best in the open court and transition situations. My guess is that he'll have a better game against Gonzaga which should be a little more up tempo game. That is assuming Gonzaga wins.

That felt so good....

It sure did!

DEFENSE won the game. TC, MA and RB destroyed their offensive continuity. I don't want to rag on Cle cause he did get 21 I believe but most were from his teammates finding him close in. He and RB really need to find their shot Saturday. MA had his best all around game as a shocker. Played great D and played under control the whole game. Can't say the same for DW........needs to play the D, take care of the ball and stop forcing things. Big guys played well on defense also but it was the guards that took them out of their game. TC was easily the defensive MVP and MA the offensive MVP.

Sad you have to play Gonzaga next round though.

Sad? I assume that was a joke, right? One of the best things that could happen for the Shocks.

If we beat them I could definitely see a game next year with them, most likely put together by ESPN.. would most likely be on their turf though...

Kind of like the last time we played a Big East team in the NCAA. Let's hope the second round goes the same way!

If you go to the ESPN link below and listen to the video that is on the page, they mention a stat that we have never lost a second round game, or something to that effect. Let's hope that string continues...

Man these guys like creating new threads. Funny stuff.

I have looked at a couple of Pitt boards. One had a 13 page game thread. I am still searching for any positive comment or compliment about the Shocks. I think it's time to give up. Hope Pitt enjoys the ACC.

LOL, I was watching this at about 2:30 this morning on Encore.

Love the team. But let me just say today...

ARMSTEAD

Go Shox!

[forevershockerfan]

Thanks for this one ShockBand. This speech almost prompted me to do another Abraham Lincoln post. Muhahahaha!!!! The Shockers now have a shot versus the Zags? Who knows because Southern is hanging around and right in this game. March Madness means just that!!!

If we want to become the next Gonzaga, there's no better way to do it than beat Gonzaga.
