UNI @ WSU Game Thread

[shoxilla]

UNI gotta be happy everything is going their way.
SHOX gotta get after them...

[Stickboy46]

All we have is 3ss

That's all they have too.. They are just making theirs

[ShoxRoxMySox]

We've lost our past 4 games when we are down at half. Not optimistic

At least we are at home this time.

[Rosewood]

You will likely still win but down 11 at home when favored by 13 is a shock to me

I can't currently come up with a scenario where we win. WW is out most of the half and UNI got better.

[Singeril]

Can I melt down? We still can't attack the zone and even when we do try to shoot out of it we don't use Ron. I don't get it.

No, you're not allowed to "meltdown" here---somebody will get upset.

[shoxlax]

It's hard to pass up wide open threes. We just have to send 4 to the boards.


Defense is abysmal

[rialaigh]

We didn't play bad. The threes we shot were open. Our defense is fine, not stellar but it hasn't been poor defense. We have trouble going inside on the zone but our three point shots have looked good. Missing lay ups is unacceptable though

All in all not bad basketball by us. Great ball by uni

[Singeril]

But that was an atrocious last 10 minutes. NO penetration, FVV just not involved, bad defense, turnovers. Gee, after last week, were we really surprised that we'd see more zones. Ball movement, anyone? What are all those bombs getting you?

[ShockerPrez]

That's all they have too.. They are just making theirs

Except for all those easy layups and old fashioned 3 pt plays.

We are playing shitty defense.

[Blackmag]

We're just not a great shooting team, been that way all season...getting in our head now. Going to need to press and get transition baskets to get back in this

[Dan]

UNI can't keep up this shooting pace. That said, if we can't beat their zone, we derve to lose

[bunck]

We didn't score the last four minutes and we only made 2 of our last 15 shots.

[DCShockerFan05]

We've had a lot of open shots. We've missed them all. We won't get any chances to move the zone around and find holes inside if we don't force them to respect shooters. Also the fouls are bullshit.

Our defense hasn't been good but that's not why we're losing. Missing every shot is.

[OregonShocker]

Offense isn't playing poorly; not great,but not why we're losing. We're behind because we can't stop them scoring. Combo of poor D, too many fouls, and them being red hot. But, to have them score 38 at half? Gotta find a way to stop them.

[ShoxRoxMySox]

We have 6 turnovers to their 3. We only have 2 free throws. Shooting 35%. Fred has been invisible. I don't think that happens again in the second half but we aren't playing well, and that's clear.
