Games of interest

[ShockerFever]

The Shocks will be fine. I'm out guys. Heading to St Louie tomorrow. Hope to make a few posts and even talk to some fans of yours. The Shock fans are the most rabid and energetic folks around so I'm told. It'll be fun.

Just remember to NOT leave your feet when guarding Hancock! He'll jump into you and draw the foul.

Thanks for stopping by. Good luck.

LMAO at McCrae's last shot. Reminds me of something we would do....

Gotta give your team a chance for a put back.

Put it in the hands of a 43% shooting ball hog who takes a contested 17-footer? What team have you been watching all year? We may be deliberate at times, but jeezpete.

That being said, I like playing for the last shot in a tie game. Giving your team a chance for a put back is also giving the other team a chance to steal the game.

By put back I mean a tip in preferably with less than 2 seconds left.

If the other team can score coast to coast after getting a contested rebound with less than 2 seconds left then good for them and "crown their ass" but I've seen too many offensive players get the rebound, get the put-back up and in, but being too late because the guard didn't shoot it with enough time on the clock.

Meh, if you shoot it with 0.0 you give the other team a 0% chance to win. If you shoot it with 2+ seconds left you're giving yourself another 10% or so chance of winning. Depends on if that 10% is worth giving the other team a chance to win or not.

I've always been a fan of putting the ball through the net with 0.0 on the clock. At the very least, you should shoot for less than .7.

Did you not present this opinion previously on ShockerNet? The principle in playing for and taking the last shot in a game is to ensure you do in fact take the last shot.

Your 2 second tip in theory is counter to this strategy, executing your strategy presents the other team with an opportunity to win the game with a new last shot - witness Ennis' last second half court shot that won the game for Syracuse.

Glad TN won, but Cuonzo with the blowby on Fran? What a dick!

Really tough day for Fran! He could of used a little pat on the back and a good game and good luck Coach.

Do we need a " Games of Madness" thread?

I see what you did there!

That one got right past me. Well played AndShock.

How many people sided with Dayton in this one?

[Jhook89]

How many people sided with Dayton in this one?

I have Dayton winning. OSU is offensively challenged and aren't their normal selves this year

[Shock Therapy]

How many people sided with Dayton in this one?

I did partly because I think that they can actually win it and partly because I want to see them stick it to The OSU for refusing to schedule them.
