Yeah, Morris isn't suddenly elite or anything, but he's been demonstrably better.

He's playing demonstrably harder. As long as he's playing hard, he's a good player.

We definitely missed EW. And we definitely need to improve on rebounding. Much better FT game, though.

Good job Shockers, another gutty win.

[ShockerPrez]

Just win, baby!

Ron is going to need some ibuprofen tonight.

Very surprised that this Illinois State team fell at home to Indiana State. Looking ahead to the Shocks perhaps. Perhaps these other Valley teams will figure out that they should put the majority of their focus on beating everybody else and then just take the Shocker games as they come instead of putting up a countdown clock on their website 2 months in advance of playing the Shocks and then giving lackluster efforts in their other games.

It appears that for at least 1 game, Shaq got his wake-up call

Much better job on defense. The real question is can he do this in practice?

This game was ugly, but that Tekele dunk was oh so pretty.

Shaq was good, I'm taking positives from this game.

Before i forget someone please explain to me how cotton only had 5 seconds for his monster jam? They called palming on the red birds. How do you have possession to turn over and not reset the shot clock?!

This may have been answered but it still confuses the hell out of me

A good opportunity to see first hand the Evan Wessel-Effect this evening. That is not sweat you see dripping from Evan. That is intangibles and when they hit the ground they form a pool of wins.

FWIW - I was squarely in the Kelly over Wessel camp. Color me wrong.

Tekele could make a career dunking on the Redbirds..

Same here. Still think someone needs to step up and take the 4 spot, but that won't be happening any time soon..

[jocoshock]

No player of the game?

Fred Van Vleet.

I would have to agree. I was in the same boat but not anymore.
