MVC Tourney - WSU vs UNI Game Thread

[shoxlax]

I was amazed at how many times it looked like we designed a play for a kick out 3 to Evan.

Which is exactly what UNI wanted us to do. And we did.

as bad as the shooting was from 3, Evan turned down a WIDE OPEN chance in I think overtime and that was bothersome.
Evan isn't a great shooter, but when the man is 6 feet away, take the chance as fred wasn't getting it done.

yes, but wait, there's more. that november tournament in florida should count against them (some think the ncaa tournament selection committee is going to overlook that debacle.. they shouldn't).

wsu doesn't look too good for the valley today, now do they?

Agreed! We are a team---you win as a team, you lose as a team. Yes, FVV was injured. But, someone on the TEAM needs to step up. This is how winning TEAMS do it.

I always wonder if EW makes more of those 3s in practice. There has to be some reason why he keeps chucking them up.

And why does "AL" always seem to be the first caller on the Shocker post-postgame radio show?

No, not today, but were you in the stands for the regular season when we pounded the MVC derelicts into submission with an average MOV somewhere pretty close to 20?

Watch him in warm ups, and he looks decent.

Also, I still believe they hold on to the "Evan was the best 3pt shooter on the team, until he got hurt" mantra from the Final Four season.

Obviously, UNI was giving that shot to Evan if he wanted it.

[Topshock]

I totally agree. I don't understand what happened between Senior Day and Friday. It's like we forgot how to play Shocker basketball.

Our point guard did and unfortunately he for the most part determines how the team plays.

[proshox]

The scout has been out since Seton Hall. Get Fred into hero mode and watch our offense disappear.

Our problems are so obvious from the outer edge of the bubble. Maybe the solutions are harder.

[Singeril]

I'm wondering if FVV will even be a third or fourth rounder at this point. I'd love to see him in the pros---but he hasn't done his chances much good over the last few months. I think RB will be a second rounder.

"Outer edge of the bubble."

Uh huh.

Not sure if my meter is broken, but there are only two rounds in the NBA draft

I just totally hate these post-season conference tournaments as a means of determining auto-bids to the NCAA Tournament. Just does not make good sense and just opens the door for more undeserving teams to make it to the tournament. I would prefer expanding the NCAA Tournament to 128 teams and one additional weekend of games and getting rid of conference tournaments.

Thanks, I was beginning to think I was on the KU board

We SUCKED the last two days. Got it. Moving forward we need to right the ship. History is with our Coach and #23 to do that. This isn't a Netflix original which is part of the reason I haven't jumped off a building
