***OFFICIAL*** WSU - WKU Game Thread

[Dan]

rebounding needs work but we're gonna set a record for blocks this year

[Play Angry]

One atrocious half + one slightly above average half = 17 point win against the Sun Belt favorites


Yeah, we're pretty damn good this year.

After watching two games this season I predict that baker will have a long profitable career in the NBA. He may not have the flash of early but he is just flat out the most valuable player on the court game after game after game.

Held 'em under 50.

I'm satisfied.

I don't think the NCAA is going to be very happy with us. Teams still won't score much against us.

[Dave Stalwart]

Price with 11 in the first half, 1 in the second half.

:)

[Anthroshock]

Coleby finished with 13 pts 4 rbs and 3 blks on 6-11 shooting. I'll take that +3 rbs every game.

[wsushox1]

Lot of long posessions this game. Consistently shooting with 15 seconds or less on the shot clock. It might behoove us to play a little faster paced game later in the year.

3 words. Kadeem "KaBoomshakalaka" Coleby. 13 points, 4 bounds, 3 blocks, and some kabooms. U like?

[Play Angry]

We got outrebounded. I'm willing to bet that doesn't happen again in November.

Marshall subbed out Carter with 5 seconds left in that game for that very reason. Gave him a big glare as he walked towards the bench.

[Kung Wu]

Kadeem 1st half: Timid juco player learning the new pace of the game against his first D1 opponent.
Kadeem 2nd half: Seasoned D1 MONSTER.

[forevershockerfan]

The Tops had 17 turnovers but we needed to rebound better. The banner dropped and the Shocker faithful are not satisfied. 66-49 against a team that will three-peat to the Dance for shore for sure. Pass another energy drink for the road and I'll see y'all in the mornin. Are ya worried? Naaaa! Sleep well tonight Shocker Fans!!! Chadrack had 6 points and 5 bounds. Great to see.

Fred VanVleet

Finished with 17pts 5 rebs 3 ast and 4 stls on 5 of 7 shooting 1 of 2 from 3

Nice early win against a solid Western Kentucky team. I'll take it. Nice to see Coleby assert himself in the second half. Gonna be a fun year.

[forevershockerfan]

Shockers had oodles of blocks. Great to see. We did get outrebounded 42-40 and That will be corrected. They had 17 turnovers and we had 12. 10,506 fans present with many, many more that witnessed the game on the tube.
