Shocks vs Zags - Official Game Thread

[forevershockerfan]

How do you beat the number 1 seed team who get tons of offensive bounds and tons more throws? Feed the ball to our Freshmen Guards--FreshVV and heart Breaker, Shot maker Baker and have them fire away from up to 25' away baybay!!!

Seth Greenberg is such a BCS tool on the espn breakdown of the game. His analysis: "This was a poorly constructed bracket. It's very deep but the 1-5 seeds were weak."

That 3 by Fred might be one of the most memorable shots I've witnessed in my lifetime.

Will go down as one of the all-time great long range/3pt shots in Shocker history, along with 13 others we hit in that game.

Mike Jones in '81 x2 (2pt shots)
Matt B. in 2006

Except nobody cares about Seth Greenbergs opinion... Which is why he isnt coaching anymore.

That was the deep freeze play of the game

Have not we all been beggin here on SN for Cotton and Jake to shoot more 3's? They finally listened to us? SN knows Shocker basketball!!! Muhahahaha

Yes, Seth, you are...

That was Jay Bilas but Greenberg agreed.

They have to charter a cargo plane for those. Only thing big enough to hold them.

[jocoshock]

The only shame of the matter is that the only non-BCS #1 seed was defeated by another non-BCS school. Only provides fodder for the BCS detractors. Oh well, better than the alternative.

I would say good that will catch the big BCS boys in our region off guard... oh wait.. they are all gone except for Arizona...

Over the weight and balance limits. They'll be coming into Newton via rail.

Edit: Bah @shock beat me to it!

That comes in via land freight. There isn't enough propulsion to generate that kind of lift. NIAR has already tested it.

Instant legends. With more to come.

I have to say, when Jake shot that 3, I nearly shat myself.

He'll sing a different tune after he takes a Sunbelt job.

That 5 point play really bugged me in the 1st half. They got away with a moving screen and made the 3. Yes, EO made the foul but at least the 3-pointer could have been waved off. Then they made the 2 throws. Ouch!!! Then we have the ball and Chadrack roughed one of them up soon thereafter and got caught. Thank goodness Mr. White tipped in the key buzzer beater basket to end the 1st half. Now that was also huge and the tip was heard around the world. What about the Pub-Meter for our beloved Shocks tonight?
