WSU @ Evansville Game thread

What does that mean?

It's a KenPom stat. FTA/FGA "defense". Shocks have not been dead last but one of the worst. It's a KenPom stat percent of free throws attempted per field goals attempted. I have been tracking it for several weeks. In effect the Shocks are not getting getting the benefit of the doubt. Might be a case of "Valley" ref's don't give us much credit or we really do "reach" too much. Either way I don't care as our boys kicked ass tonight in spite of the refs. Shocks rank fourth from last in this category.

From Ken Pomeroy:

FTA/FGA: ranking 348 of 351 teams.

This team... holy crap. I think they are going to get better every week from here on out. No one will want to deal with Fred and this defense.

This was worth the price of admission. Shaq was dancing, messing with the student section saying "left, right" when he fouled out, and he kept pretending to sit down without actually doing it. Then, he got all the shocker fans to cheer right before he actually sat down. It was awesome.

Also, I assume it's someone on here, but don't feel like you need to out yourself. There was a particularly annoying Evansville fan in a white hat seated by the shocker fans. He went down to talk to some shocker fans. It's not clear what he was saying, but he was running his mouth the whole game. A shocker fan told him to sit down. Security came and escorted him to his seat. He, being a kindergartener in maturity, told security he was being bullied by a shocker fan. The security guard went to talk to the shocker fan who shouted. The shocker fan talked to him, shook his hand, and gave the security guard a hug. As the security guard walked away, the shocker fan gave the white hat guy a thumbs up. It was also awesome.

Beyond even that, this team excels at finding the hot hand. If they load up on Fred, Baker will school them. McDuff too.

It wasn't me. I was sitting below that but did here one of our own fans berating an Evansville fan and expending way more energy than I would have in doing so

I hope whomever the Shocker fan was, he was able to collect for me.

The interest meter has been running for a few years now.

Remember when UNI wasn't going to finish behind WSU for the next 5-10 seasons?

Rank the following from most minutes played today to fewest:


VanVleet, Baker, Grady, McDuffie, Wessel, Frankamp.

[Cdizzle]

I pity the team that plays us when we shoot worth a darn. This team is good enough now to win on the road against solid teams while shooting like crap. Improve that shooting to marginal and they can hang with anyone, anywhere.

[SHOXAAC]

I wish Fred hadn't played 38 minutes.
Surprised Evan played the second most minutes.
Frankamp
Duff
Baker and Grady played 21.
It all resulted in a butt wuppin for the Ville.

I bet he didn't even attend the game for fear that @WuDrWu: would be in attendance.

[Kung Wu]

Was it this guy by any chance?

If Burt Reynolds and Dudley Do Right had a baby.

Our team is going to flourish with NCAA tournament officiating.
