WSU vs LUC Game Discussion

[Shock Top]

Adams and Holthus wear me out.

I feel like a need a cigarette.

The trend in our road games has been to start out dominating defensively... As the first halves go on we lose focus and the other team starts to play loose. This game looks like GW and Utah all over again.

It's awesome seeing Evan Wessel getting so many minutes. Those two hustle plays he makes each game totally make up for his horrid defense, bad shooting, and lack of rebounding.

Are you retarded?

You're a smart cookie. Who would you put in his place to take up his minutes?

[shoxilla]

OK, maybe deep-dish pizza before the game was a bad idea?

I remember my first game watching basketball.

[pinstripers]

Well, if we can't post anybody up, we better shoot better from 3.

[proshox]

The other trend is lack of free throw attempts.

[FlyingWheat]

Outscored 13-2 in the last 4:30 in the half. Not gonna be good enough. Gotta be better defending from three and making it from three. Gotta be better than the way we played to end the half.

[CBB_Fan]

The instant I said we were playing as good as we have all year, we go back to our ways. These random bouts of complete offensive incompetence are infuriating, and what is perplexing is that who we play against has NO impact on how we play. We make Drake, Hawaii, and Alabama look just as good Utah and George Washington and I have no idea why. Shouldn't we play at least a little better against lesser competition? Not that Loyola is bad, but for heaven's sake I was hoping I'd actually watch 40 minutes of basketball today.

[DUShock]

Scoreless the last 3:12 of the first half. Shocks trail 28-25.

[wu_shizzle]

No criticism, but I'm feeling a little out coached.

I'm sure we'll make adjustments.

[ShockerFever]

It does get old, because we're so much better than these teams.

[1972Shocker]

Holding a team to 28 points at the half should be plenty good enough on the road. Hopefully, the Shocks can find the basket in the 2nd half.

The other trend is lack of free throw attempts.

We've got 2, they've got 5. Personally, I wouldn't mind avoiding a free throw contest against these guys on the road.
