Official: Wichita State vs USC Game Thread

[Kung Wu]

Wulp, if we're going out, it's with our boots on.

[Kung Wu]

Soooooo close!

[ShockerPrez]

What doesnt kill you makes you stronger...

Starting off sooo cold just killed us.

[mjbaker84]

Wow rough rough game

[Onegreatracer]

My lord that had a chance.

[pinstripers]

Godfather II is on.

Going to be a long, long period while Fred recovers. We aren't good right now. We aren't on Tulsa's level, we aren't on USC's level. And they aren't at a top 25 level. We are sloppy and can't shoot, and even with a great game from McDuffie we still relied way too heavily on Baker. We deserved this game, we deserved the Tulsa game, and we just got to hope that we don't lose our tournament bid because we played our real season without half our functional roster. Still very confident once we get Fred and Conner, but will it be too late? We've lost the potential for three solid wins in Orlando already by losing to USC and we already lost to Tulsa. Gonna have a terrible RPI.

Sucks that the real season is the OOC, and we'll get Fred for useless minutes in the MVC against 200 RPI opponents.

You sir are a Debbie downer

Injuries suck.

Considering the talent we didn't suit up today, I'm not worried.

The time and experience McDuffie is getting with Shamet, Fred, and Conner not in the line up well just make us deeper come march.

Missing 2 of your top 5 players (maybe 3 if you count Conner) will hurt just about every team.

[SB Shock]

Good try Shocks. Almost did it.

[Shock Top]

When the other team shoots 12/23 from 3 (open or not) the chances of winning aren't too high.

We are missing an All American, a Top 40 PG, and a Top 100 SG. They will account for that come March.

Usc scored half their points from 3's. Three point defense was bad.

[wusphlash]

Disappointed we lost but certainly saw some glimmers of better things to come. Lot of freshmen type errors by not only the freshmen. There is lots of good material for Gregg to mold.

[shocka khan]

I think this will play dividends, but Grady was MIA most of the game, coach needs to hide Wessel more and use those minutes to play someone who can actually hit the broadside of a barn.

Tyrone is a freshman, the best part of that is he will be a sophomore. Coach needs to find a way to give us a little more Simon and a little less Taylor.

Oh, we also need another big to step up. So glad we have Wills coming in next year:
