#2 Wichita State vs. Southern Illinois OFFICIAL Game Thread

[SHOXAAC]

People are so damn whiny in the first half of games.

We're 25-0. At what point do you people ever develop any confidence in your team?

I don't want put words in peoples' mouths, but I don't think it has anything to do with confidence in our team...against the **** which is the Missouri Valley Conference. It is about not having as much confidence if, or when, we spot a quality NCAA tourny team these kind of performances.

[tw805]

You whine in every single one of these game threads, and then disappear the moment we start doing well.

A few bad minutes in a game doesn't justify turning on your team.

I really don't post that often, but don't go and let the truth get in the way of your narrative, Pollyanna. And I have no idea what it means to "turn on your team." I doubt they're reading this. Maybe they are, which would explain all of this.

Goodness we are playing awful.

How did our performances look against "the **** which is the Missouri Valley Conference" last season?

How did we do when we spotted quality NCAA tourney teams?

That's pretty funny, tw805. It would explain a lot.

[jpshocker]

If Barry messes up the finish on the court I hope Sexton hits him with a bill.

[ShockerPrez]

Cant buy a basket.

[kstarheel]

Baker having a rough offensive game.

[ShockerPrez]

Whats pissing me off is just the 2nd chances we are giving them. We also let these teams hang around. Which needs to stop.

We have way too many turnovers.

[Rlh04d]

Over on mvcfans you said that you hadn't ever seen baker dunk. I'm wondering if anyone else remembers him throwing down just a ridiculous dunk really early in the season last year at home? It wasn't Tekele Cotton good, but it was definitely something.

I feel like I should, and yet don't.

[ShockerMas]

Has anyone thought that maybe this team just hasn't hit its peak yet? I'd rather save our best basketball for the toughest opponents in the tournament. It doesn't matter how much we win these next few games by because it's just building up to our ultimate goal

[Bluzrover]

That was a really lazy pass by Derail. 3G ain't gonna like that.

[jocoshock]

Why is Fred not playing?

[shoxilla]

It has come to this.....Lo I am ruptured....

It's shittier this year, whether Creighton was here or not. You must think it is good to consistently have to make big runs to beat these teams. I have heard it from many fans, this is not a good blue print to be 25-0...but I'm glad we are.
