@shockersNation: Cotton with a Monster Jam vs Illinois State - 1-4-15 https://vine.co/v/OdDujaWW1gz

Tekele could make a career dunking on the Redbirds..

Holy Cow!!!

One thing I have learned.

I know nothing about nothing.

Did we win?

That's about all that I will use as a barometer on this team.

[BOBB]

From the Captain Obvious desk: Cle was a HUGE part of this team.

[jocoshock]

One silver lining tonight: 21 Ft attempts from the front line tonight.

Made 13.

HCGM says that SM worked hard in practice this past week. Good job Shaq!

[ShockerPrez]

From the Captain Obvious desk: Cle was a HUGE part of this team.

Yeah. He was a special player.

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

I would love to that happen as well because that would mean one of our youngsters has made huge improvement but as you say that may be a little bit too much to to expect for the time being. I guess if we are going to be undersized at the 4 we have about the best guy you could have to fill that role.

[ShockRef]

We can agree to disagree. I think the officials went to the monitor on their own, but if HCGM did ask them to go to the monitor, why not? With the emphasis on safety, if I'm a coach and I even think 1 of my players got hit in the face, intentional or not, I'm asking for a review. It seems the vote is fairly even, would be interesting to see what other officials say about it. Shockref?

Initially, I thought it was a legal screen. After a couple different camera angles, Ransom defintely threw his shoulder into RB. Under the definition of the rules, that made it an illegal screen.
F1? No

Illegal?
Yes

That is all.

So was Chris Jans

[Shocker Mama]

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

The leap onto the Gatorade cart was pretty cool.

[Play Angry]

Shockers RPI improves from .6513 to .6562 with the win. Still #9.

Redbirds, meanwhile, jump from #105 to #92 with the loss.

[shockerfan]

I am not going to over analyze this one. They are 12-2. Good RPI, good SOS, ranked top 25. Life is good. Just enjoy it. NO team plays perfect. Sleep well tonight shocker nation

[Calshockfan]

I can understand why people would think that's an illegal screen or a cheap shot, but that's just a good hard screen. Nothing illegal about it. Screener stayed within his legal space.

If I'm baker I'm ripping my teammates for not talking on defense and letting me knowS the screen was coming. Hopefully HCGM sends a message in tMr he locker room

Mr Ref is always right.

Yes

That is all.

That was what I thought after seeing the replay in the arena. Not flagrant.

Good try Redbirds, the Shockers sure do need to figure out a few things but even on one of our worst rebounding efforts in the history of the Gregg Marshall era the Birds are still our bitches. There is literally nothing I enjoy more than watching Muller have to suck up his pride and walk down the court to shake Marshall's hand after another loss.
