#12 WSU @ #18 UNI - Game Thread

[Slalomshocker]

Attack the rim. When this team does that, they are tough to beat. When they settle for jump shots....not so much. Especially on a day like today when they aren't falling.

[LandStander]

Has Baker made a 3 all day? I don't want him to stop shooting it, but damn!

Yeah early in the game and afterwards a timeout is called. Baker goes to the bench and Forbes tells him "more...more..." Pointing towards the basket. That's when Ron started pressing and hasn't made another one since. That's my take anyway

[Rosewood]

Ice. Cold. From the floor.

[Rlh04d]

We're at 14.3% from three, and UNI is at 71.4%.

This is the most ridiculous I've felt about an opponent's offense since the Creighton game a few years back, but UNI has the defense that Creighton never had.

[BOBB]

Felt a loss was likely but didn't expect this.

[Rosewood]

because we're open

By design

[ShockerPrez]

60% to 34% shooting.

[wusphlash]

We've had open shots, and missed. We've shown once again that a good big man will give us trouble. We will respond, just not today.

[Rlh04d]

By design

They're not leaving Baker open on the perimeter on purpose.

[Dshocker]

Cotton has had a ton of open 3s. Any reason he's not pulling the trigger?

[jdshock]

By design

I get the frustration, but that's not entirely true. We're getting open with screens and extra passes. We've had a few more turnovers on offense than usual, but we're not playing too poorly until the moment we shoot.

[ShockerFever]

Another push off after camping in the lane for 5 seconds.

[AndShock]

Even Carter wants in on the missed 3 action.

[forevershockerfan]

10 seconds in the lane for Tuttle as he pushed off.

[1979Shocker]

WSU only 5 assists on 14 baskets

That will happen when no one can make a basket.
