Shockers vs. Panthers game thread

[shockmonster]

I am very proud of the Shox. Especially for the Seniors who now have tasted victory in the Dance. It would have been gut wrenching for me to see those Seniors walk out the arena without knowing what it felt like to win a game in the NCAA's.

Hopefully, this victory will infuse the Shox with even more confidence (especially from the perimeter - slow down guys, no need to rush), and propel them to a Sweet 16 appearance.

I'll will jump on Cold's EO bandwagon and say if he can use his quickness to keep up and hound Kelly Olynick all day long, we have a chance in this game.

EO will play but I don't see the rotation changing from what's it been. We'll play multiple people in the post, especially when we get into foul trouble. But our best team on the floor has been, is, and will be Carl Hall and Cle. These are our best offensive players and we need to score points too. The match up problems go both ways. Cle and Carl will be difficult for them to match up with also.

I like the way Tekele made the MVC sportswriters, collectively, look like a bunch of morons for not naming him to the all-defensive team.

I'm effing hammered! Love these shox. Thank you for proving it to yourselves. You are a great team. Bask in the glory. You earned it! Shocker fans are grateful for your efforts.

Is this grant Gibbs by any chance? There's a good chance you are. He is always hammered, you say you are hammered...

I'm just using my logic skills.

Don't post much because you all say it so well, but just wanted to give big ups to all the Valley schools - you helped to make us so daaaaammmnnnnn tough!

Great win Shocks. And now let's get even a more fabulous one by whipping the Zaggs.

If and when we win on Saturday I hope Marshall walks up to Few and says, next time you make a trip to Wichita why don't you just play us? Any time, any team, any where. Go Shox!

Watching Woodall cry, Dixon pretty close also.

If you listen real close you can hear him mumble, "I never seen a defender like that Cotton! He must be a Senior on their team! " HA HA HA!

Lutz has a good article about today's game. Quote of the day from Woodall,

“I knew for sure once No. 32 started guarding me that their coaches didn’t forget about my freshman year," Woodall said. "They made me work for every single shot that I got, everything. You’ve got to commend him. I’m mad that I don’t know his first and last name and date of birth, the way he was on me. That’s tough.”

That was priceless!

I have to give Mr. Lutz an A+ on that column. One of his better efforts although Tekele's performance probably made it pretty easy to write a good column.
