    All Fred has to do is walk up to the team before the game, and in a normal voice just say, "Let's get this done", and people all across the State of Kansas suddenly feel motivated to achieve things they've only dreamed of before.
    The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
    We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

      I have been used to it, off and on, for a number of years. But thanks anyway for the suggestion.

          I'll be interested to see what Rollie's comments are, but if he's honest they should be along the lines of "We've played a couple of top 25 type teams, but we found out what an elite team looks like tonight".
          Four seasons playing for Marshall and I think Uthoff would been a much better player than he is today. All else being equal, I doubt 3G would even recruit Uthoff today.

          Rollie Massimino might say that, maybe not. After all, Jay Wright is one of Massiminos guys. So Massimino may honetly believe Jay Wright has the best team of the three.

                • Comparing the Shocker performance to Northwood's games at Iowa and Villanova
                  I believe Villanova was a regular season game.
                  Looks to me like we had the best performance defensively and played non-starters a lot more minutes.

                      • I'd also like to point out that we looked especially good in the white uniforms! All our peeps were wearing white wraps and socks, and they just looked darn good this game.

                        • The starting intro on TV for Cox 22 is tight. The tunnel walk was decent, the intro was excellent, especially when they get the sound right.

                          Good stuff.

                          • Did it get mentioned yet that FVV had 6 assists and 1 turnover? Baker had 4 assists and 1 turnover. If you throw in all of FVV, Baker, Cotton, Holland and Henderson, you are at 16:4 or 4:1. For all the other notable things about the newcomers we keep addressing, it's also important to address the fact that our guard play is ready to rock n roll.

                            http://www.goshockers.com/downloads2/948402.pdf?ATCLID=209756904&DB_LANG=C

                            Oh, and all of the rest of the turnovers came from Darius (2), JRS (2), Brown (1) and Shaq (1). I find an awful lot of comfort in knowing that Wamukota, Nurger, R Kelly, Evan and Tevin had ZERO all game. Having a bunch of forwards who can take care of the ball on a team with guards who have PHD's in taking care of the ball means this team isn't going to beat itself. I have no doubt about Darius even though he had a couple.

                            Here is some perspective on that. Last year against Oklahoma Baptist, our forwards had 7 out of 8 total turnovers for the team. Early (2), Kadeem (2), Chadrack (1), Shaq (1) and Wiggins (1). This year, our forwards had 3 of the 10 total turnovers for the team, and almost all of them came from the one guy who we have full confidence in going forward.

                              That's on repeat until next Friday tipoff. But, damn we looked good.

                                True,true,true, but more veteran teams have looked less impressive against similar foes in past years...
