Official: Shockers vs. Ramblers

[ShockerPrez]

Smells like another 18-22 point victory to me.

U-G-L-Y WE AIN'T GOT NO ALABI.

Great effort though...

@bob:lutz: Baker with one of his worst halves as a Shocker. VanVleet (16 points) with one of his best. They take care of one another. WSU 29, Loyola 23

@SIU_Basketball: At the end of the 1st half, #Salukis lead 26-23. Lavender with 8, Beane with 5 and Djimde with 4.

Fred with only 1 assist in the first half.

Fred with only 1 assist in the first half.

Of course it's difficult to get assists when you have scored 55% of your team's points.

[Zubcut]

Fred with only 1 assist in the first half.

He would probably have 6 or 7 if we could make a layup.

Yep..

UNI down 26-23 at half @SIU.

Always good to have context. I would bet both WSU and UNI had a little extra focus on this weekend in practice.

[Rlh04d]

I would agree that they compliment each other but disagree with the bad half assessment. Yeah he isn't scoring but with the attention they are giving him other guys (Fred) will benefit in the box score.

Exactly. If they're going to double-down on shutting down Ron that hard, the rest of the team just has to score when they're open.

[wusphlash]

Well, at least the Ramblers have to shoot at a damaged rim this half.

[Zubcut]

Loyola only got up 15 shots in the first half!?!? Zero offensive rebounds will do that.

[jocoshock]

Unfortunate call on Shaq

Those were some hilarious facial expressions by HCGM. Just standing there while the assistants did the talking, making crazy grimaces the whole time.

Different team without our bigs... duh..
