Originally posted by Fozzy View PostI think our strategy is to confuse the rest of the Valley with our play so no one knows what to expect. Keep the games close with the teams in the bottom half to give them confidence when they play other teams in the top half because they played well against WSU. And work on the psyche of UNI to where they think they're not really that good because WSU is in a slump. Next up - Missouri State and I predict we win by one in double OT to further our plan. After that the Valley won't know what hit them :)

The second half was ugly but a win is a win.
I really like what Shaq is doing right now. He needs to work on staying out of foul trouble but his defense has been a difference maker.
We're missing a ton of threes but that isn't going to last. Shooting comes and goes.
Tevin continues to improve and gave some nice minutes. He's not quite there as far as defending and boxing out 100% of the time yet but he's closer.
Bush had his moments in short reserve.
Darius could use a hug with some of the calls going against him. Unless his back is bothering him he'll bounce back. We certainly miss his leadership and post play when he's on the bench.
Tekele can disappear at times offensively. We need him to stay in attack mode.
Brown, Kelly, and Henderson didn't stand out a whole lot. Brown had some nice D and offensive rebounds, Henderson had a nice assist, ...can't really come up with something Kelly did. I know Henderson can shoot but would love to see it in game sometime this year.
I know people are going to scoff but you really have to give credit to Bradley. They knew they were down half their team but they competed and didn't fold when some teams might.

The radio guys trying to point out positives to coach tonight was humorous. I know they get paid to be homers, but this team doesn't need to hear how good it is right now. They are not a bad team by any means, but they defiantly aren't playing like a great one at this time.
Hopefully this bad stretch will end, just like the three game one did during the Final Four season. As people have noted, these three game stretches are strikingly similar. If they both end up producing the same results, I think we would all be happy!The Assman

Originally posted by KBShocker View PostYou bet there is, and its the coaching. Tired of hearing the players get all the crap blame. They are not being set up to win like they should. Its time to admit that this team is not a good man to man defensive team (too much dribble drive on us all game long). What does that mean? PLAY ZONE! What does that do? It protects people from getting in foul trouble, it throws the opponent off, it clogs the lane. Coach needs to get off the ego trip that playing zone is an insult to his reputation.
Playing the news guys is a necessary evil. It was messy but necessary. We survived an advanced tonight. Just two - three years ago, we lost games like this with far more experienced teams, sometimes at home!
No such thing as a bad road win..Kansas is Flat. The Earth is Not!!

Just a couple misc observations:
We've been shaky ever since Zach Bush had surgery. His goofiness can actually help a team stay loose, especially on the road. Not saying the slump is because of him, but I think we need to consider all ankles, I mean angles :)
It's weird what a difference a year makes. In February last year, us and Syracuse were in the limelight regarding who would stay undefeated. Tonight we notch win 20 and Syracuse bans themselves from post season play to try to lessen any future penalties by the NCAA. It's still a great day to be a Shocker.
