WSU vs Alabama Game Thread

Cotton did not look good at point guard, but he was missing Ron and Cle.

If not for two phantom fouls on Baker I don't think there would have been much drama in this game. We weathered having our three best players on the bench for roughly five minutes and still took a lead into halftime.

This team just wins.

The referee, who had the worst sight line on the Baker foul call, was in assumption mode. The ref, who had a much better view of the action, did not signal a foul.

I hate it, when that happens.

Did 1330 just cut to regular programming before the post game show wrapped?

The just came back to MK, but now the postgame is over. We missed the player of the game interview. I'm guessing it was Early.

Pittsburgh is no longer undefeated as they lose to Cincinnati 44-43.

That sounds like a junior high girls score.

Washing this one down with some OK Joes and a Winter Ale.

Nice job Shocks. We can play better for sure, but no way will I complain about a true road win on a short turn-around from another tough game. Shocks did what they needed to do when they needed to do it. As anticipated it was a tough game, similar to our game at St. Louis and, fortunately, the Shocks were again up to the task.

My Christmas wish is still intact.

:good:

How many replies on MVCfans.com do you guys think were filled out and ready for someone to hit the reply button when they thought we were going to lose that had to get deleted and the thread x'd out after we won?

LMFAO! True story.

Some puts describing the conspiracy of Chinese incompetence. This time in landing on the moon. Welcome to 50 years ago China. Don't you have a scaled down F150 to dump on the market, or some pollution to dump?
I think the Cle interview would have been more relevant & interesting. I want to the bottom of the conspiracy of why this interview wasn't aired!

[ShockerFever]

I guess the post game show got cut off?
E: No, just the content. I guess no one had the heart to tell Mike he was off air for 10 minutes :/

KNSS has the WORST radio production team in the country. There is ALWAYS something wrong during the course of a broadcast, some lasting seconds, some lasting 10 minutes. They always seem to "lose signal" at some point, but how come nobody else ever does?

Freaking a 3rd grade production. Looks very high schoolish when it happens every freaking game.

And soft landings, American model, yada yada yada

Great gutsy win.so proud of this team to keep their composure making freethrows, big plays and a bad call. This is the type of win that will prepare us for the run in march. Early showed up big big tonight, without him we dont win. Seems like its somebody different every game. Liked how we used a little zone, thought we did pretty good when we were in foul trouble..great job Shocks!!!

Did 1330 just cut to regular programming before the post game show wrapped?

Yes! And they brought it back just in time for MK to wrap it up and sign off. My favorite part was when he said his "thanks to this person and that person in the studio for getting the program put together" thing not knowing they completely botched the entire game

[shox1989]

Early was money at the FT line, but his 3 TO's in the last 8 minutes almost cost them. Sometimes he can drive one to the brink.

His post up and call when Releford was switched on him was smart. And his inside seal and lob from Cotton for the easy deuce was nice.

But the 2 travels and getting his pocket picked late were driving HCGM (and me) out of our bird.
I thought HCGM was going to blow a gasket when he had the ball tipped away.

It wasn't a work of art and the naysayers will poke away for 'only' winning by 5 over a 5-5 team.

But it still feels pretty good to say 11-0!

That is all.

Yeah but a team that was 5-0 at home and something like 20-0 at home in their last 20 non-conference home games. So still a pretty good win. (I know the naysayers won't look at it like that).

@ESPNLunardi: I think we know that from last year... “@cmath21: @ESPNLunardi Wichita State's ceiling in March?”
