This is absolutely sickening...

I'm as loyal a Shocker fan as there ever was and all season I've been giving them the benefit of the doubt but after tonight's game, I'm really disappointed in their lack of effort. They ought to be ashamed and embarrased ! No one except maybe Matt was willing to step up and make an effort. If they had really wanted this game it would have been theirs!

As Bruce said late in the game "This is a team that looks like it wouldn't mind finishing last."

I can't wait to get a whole bunch of new players.

I'm thinking about 6-7 new players would be about right.

Up until the 18 point swing, it was "I don't have to push it, it's just Evansville".

Then it was "Oh well, we lost another one".

Both attitudes should get you wind sprints until you want to die. It's not going to be a fun couple of days for the guys.

I can just hear HCGM say "You will never embarrass me or this University like that again!"

I wouldn't be surprised to get our butts kicked on saturday because the guys have little to no energy left after the next few days of hell........practice.

I think we've hit the point of the season where guys are waiting for something bad to happen. And when you really work that hard at it, it will happen.

I wonder if the team realizes that the saying "talk is cheap" applies to them tonight. Just last night I saw an interview with Phil and he was saying that the team needed to go out a make an effort and get things done because if they didn't Evansville would beat them. Where's was the effort to back up the talk? :( :(

This Season has been hard on us all. Tonight, not only did we not execute, lack the killer instinct during the 1st half when we could have led them by 25, but we also lacked effort and concentration. This Coach will NOT tolerate that.

It was great to see MB back and he was a bright spot during a dim game. AE may have had his best game this year. Lance Harris earned his start tonight and it proves this Coach gives every solitary player a fair shot for playing time.

The half-time report on our 4 recruits was encouraging. If EO still gets here, I could still see us still adding anoth 2-3 new players. In the meanwhile, this Coach will not allow our Shocks to mope around. He will get these Shocks to huddle and regroup, and get us fighting and executing again!!!!!!!

I hate to compare UE to Monmouth, but - Monmouth RPI - 293; UE RPI - 261. That's not much difference. Let's throw in UMKC - RPI - 290.

One big difference in the games with the teams I mentioned is that Simmons had a great game plan. He had more fouls to give up than WSU had. Simmons coached a very physical game with a lot of fouls.

WSU has problems putting together a lineup with the players available. WSU also has a tendency to foul. Put those together and if WSU falls into the physical play trap, then WSU is scrambling to put 5 guys on the floor that can play with anything resembling a team effort.

Get WSU into foul trouble with the limited players available and WSU ends up playing something resembling a pickup game at the Y. WSU built the lead before foul problems were an issue. Once the entire frontcourt had 2 or 3 fouls in the first half, WSU's frontcourt advantage was over.

That can pretty much swing the momentum of the game.

what an awful game.
i was almost ashamed to tell people the the Shox are my favorite team...

pitiful.
boring.
dumb.

*sigh*

i can only hope they improve from this.

18 TO's to their 8!?! This team sucks and I fully expect the next prediction thread to have some realism injected into it.

That's a splendid analogy of the game. :good:
