Flew in from Vegas to watch this game and so glad I did. First game I've seen downtown and a great game it was. We have a really good mix of youth and experience which is going to make for a hell of a year. Everyone in our section (me included) couldn't wait for Frankamp to finally get that first bucket, and boy did the crowd respond when he did. Great experience for this long time Shocker junkie!

Originally posted by Blackmag View PostIts been a very good week for our Shocks, we have our QB back and Conner is getting his first action in over a year. Slowly but surely we are getting our team back together, although we still are missing our starting post, and one of our top recruits who showed early that he will indeed be a star for this team.
We knew going into the week this would be two important games, really must haves to get things going in the right direction. Mission accomplished. Both games the defense was through the roof and the youngsters are starting to gain confidence and are starting to be major contributors.
Zach Brown has put really solid back to back games and is showing us the player we saw glimses of last year. He has really picked it up on defense and seems to be gaining confidence in his shot again, it was just a matter of time.
Markis Mcduffie, along with Brown was a difference maker today, what a game. He has the range to stretch a defense and his defense with that long wing-span and his quickness really was on display not only today, but also against UNLV. He will be the next big star at WSU. What a get he is for Marshall and the Shockers.
This years version of the Three Headed Monster has been rounding into form over the last three to four games. I thought the last two games especially we have seen some good play and Morris, Nurger and Wamakota seem to be complimenting each others game very nicely. Morris with the muscle, Wam Bam with his length and quickness, and Nurger with his skills and good hands around the basket.
Good to see Conner hit a few shots late and the excitement from the bench was great to see, these guys really do care for each other and it shows. That three will no doubt be the first of many to come.
Ron and Fred had really solid, all round games but with the support they got today they didn't have to try to do it all, and that is a very good sighn. Evan hit a few early threes to get us rolling, and played his usual solid game, he seems to have stepped it up since Orlando.
Overall todays game has been our best of the year, shooting, defense, turnovers. 25 points off turn-overs, and we only had three turnovers...wow.
Now we get a week off to get ready for Seton Hall. No time to leet up, lets get this Shocker Train rolling and keep shoveling the coal in that engine....choo choo"Prediction is very difficult, especially if it is about the future."

You can see it by just walking around the concourse at IBA it is definitely a younger crowd than the typical roundhouse crowd. The people sitting in our section at IBA were all much younger than me.
It is great and I would like to see us do another game or even 2 more a year at IBA. We are 6-0 there, so you can't say that it would hurt our team to play a couple more games a year there.Last edited by shocker3; December 13, 2015, 04:34 PM.
