WSU vs GWU GAME DISCUSSION

[Aargh]

Too bad we couldn't have Jans back for the scout on this game. It looked to me like we were out-game-planned in this one.

[ShockerPrez]

So.

Does this guarantee we go undefeated in the Valley?

I think so.

Sorry, Drake. You have to be crushed. We'll bring a blindfold and a cigarette for you though

[LandStander]

They need that hunger back. It's a long season and I hope they get it. Brown and Kelly have looked good recently. We can build on that BUT FIRST AND FOREMOST, OUR GUARDS NEED TO STEP UP!

[ShockTalk]

Well we don't have to worry about Baker going pro next year.

He is 24-71 FG, .338 over our last 5 games, four of which have been sub par games for the Shocks.

SERIOUSLY, STICK WITH THE TEAM THROUGH THINK AND THIN!!!

IF NOT, GTFO!!!!!

We are sticking with them, just tired of this lack of effort at times.
This isn't the same team we have seen the last few years. The hunger is missing in some of the guys and the hype has gotten to some of them also.

Games were way way closer than they should have been to hawaii and alabama.

This is what happens with no Chris Jans.

Everybody and their Grandma thought we should have driven into the zone.

Nope.

Stubbornness and being unprepared lost this game.

Good for GW and their Christmas miracle.

GW was the better team tonight. They deserved that win.

No need to read more into this than necessary though. We are a really, really good team going through a rough patch. Every single year under HCGM, except last year, featured a doldrums stretch of 5-6 games where we seemingly can't do anything right. In the better years, we still win 3 or 4 of those games.

We always rebound from it.

Seriously, damn. I hate seeing the Shox lose but you can tell just by the posts here that the fans got too used to undefeated seasons.

[ShockTalk]

Let's not have a meltdown. We like to make fun of other fanbases when they meltdown. We will still be ranked. We will win the Valley. We will still have a good seed.

This is not a isolated game. 4 of the last 5 games have been lacking.

His NBA stock is dropping by the day.

Agree 100%

Hardly a miracle for a quality team.

I think FVV and Baker need to shoot a little less. Cotton needs to play better D. We'll be OK. We're just used to thinking our team's the best in the country. We aren't this year.

But we're still a good team with a lot of ceiling!

[mjbaker84]

WSU
21-61 shooting
11-27 3 pointers

WSU had 14 more shots than GW, more rebounds, more assists, similar fouls (excluding the last few garbage ones)

[DUShock]

If WSU plays like they have the previous 4 of 5 games, Wichita will be lucky to finish 3rd in the Valley.

Especially when they were stretching their zone so far out. The lanes were so big you could drive a truck trough. That truck last year was Cle, who's going to fill at least one of his shoes?
