WSU vs Loyola

[Dave Stalwart]

What the hell's wrong with these guys? The didn't win by 30+.

Trending down... We are toast versus Illinois state at this rate. If we only beat them by 15, the announcers might give the birds the win using the moral victory system

And of course, it has to be on a late start game.

I still dont know why the game started at 8. It wasnt even televised on ESPN or Fox...

Yep. Made zero sense.

Everything about that game should show you how awful the Valley is. That was our replacement for Creighton. Loyola isn't even mid-major. They look very low major. Aren't there high school gyms bigger than that? And possibly more full?

To their credit, they did beat Creighton this year

[ShockerFever]

I see right thru you...you swoon over TT in your dreams.

Do you only comment on me commenting on TT?

RPI instabump from .5852 to .5877, up to #41 from #45.

That's actually surprising

That's actually surprising

It also helps when all of the other teams around us are stacking up quality losses left and right.

At this point it's certainly okay to say it was a bad add. That was three years ago and was centered around their "interest in trying"

Now that they have been a flat line for the entire duration, it is pretty funny. Thanks for telling the MVC you were going to try hard. They were better last year than this year with the same roster and the competition is still terrible so it's not like it was a tougher year or something.

I mean, we all knew it was a weird choice, but now the jury isnt really out anymore.

I am still mystified as to why LUC never went back to zone.

Hard to complain about Baker as star of the game, although I was a little surprised they didn't go with Grady after justifiably talking about him so much. I was also curious to hear what Anton sounds like -- we already know about Baker; Ron sounds like an announcer.

Busted...damn...can't get nuthin by you.

As of late before this Senior Night game for the Ramblers, they were pretty hot. Even so, scoring on our Defense enough to win is like pulling hens teeth. Now FSF has never tried such a feat, but it would be tedious and miserable I'm sure.

Good gravy Grady on a night that Shaq was off on offense. Mr. Nurger came in and did pretty good too. Baker could score 25 points in most every game but instead he fills up the positive side up and down the stat sheet. Kelly is coming on at a admirable time to do so.

Let's keep our prayers going tonight for a safe big-bird ride home for beloved Shocks and fans. We have a big day coming Saturday versus the birds.

Loyola announcers: "Loyola can beat every team in the league. They can beat WSU. They don't have to play perfect, just play a good game. Tonight they missed 7 layups and 8 free throws. If they make those they're in this game."

so you don't have to play perfect, but you basically have to make all your interior shots and go 100% from the free thrown line. Ok, that makes sense.
