WSU vs ISU (red) thread

[WuDrWu]

Nice play against the end of the bench.

Just for the record, this fan has absolutely NO problem with that at all. NONE. Play defense, which we rarely did all night.

[swiltar71]

If it were so simple why would anyone run zone defense hmmm?

That's the point, no one runs zones against well coached teams who can shoot. We are not that. So anyone with any talent should run zone against us. Should I draw you a picture?

[KSUUWSU]

Lol - go ahead and hang your hat on Kenpom - but WSU is not a Top 24 team.

We are a NIT team at best.

[Aargh]

Shox are gonna win St Louis. Should be the only goal right now.

With the4 2 teams I saw tonight and what I've seen of both teams in other games, we ain't beating them in St.Louis unless a couple players for the Shox have some epiphanies between now and then.

We knew this was going to be one of the few games that we can lose and we did. ILSU is good team and veteran team. It is what it is. Our JUCO guys looked like JUCO guys tonight. It'll tighten up as the season progresses. Can't wait to stick it to em in February.

Can you sign up with some additional usernames and pepper the forum with various paraphrases of this thought.

KTXBYE.

Those who think next year will be better, I'll take that bet right now.

Now we're getting stupid.

[WstateU]

This is so dumb. If we were in the AAC right now, we'd be the second best team, five spots behind leader Cincy, using kenpom as the metric.

This board might break the "dumb" record tonight.

[Blackmag]

We need to develop an attitude and find a leader that can calm the waters when things get ruff. We don't have that yet. We were out played when the game was close. We seem to play better win we lead, when we get down 10 then we have trouble. We seem to panick. Hopefully we learn from this, a lot of season to go.

[KSUUWSU]

Butt kicked. Hope the guys hate the taste that is in their mouth---and do everything they can to make sure they never taste it again.

Nope, they confuse the taste in their mouth as milk because are guys are kittens!!!

Just for the record, this fan has absolutely NO problem with that at all. NONE. Play defense, which we rarely did all night.

Same here. Let the team learn to not give up until the clock is off.

Shamet, did a poor job handling the zone, Francamp should shoot a lot more. Smith was just plain lost.

[Singeril]

How any times have you heard 'Guards win basketball games."
Your Honor I would like to submit exhibit #1 as evidence.

Shamet was decent, but Smith looked very JuCo and I'm not sure what the hell Frankamp was doing out there.
I'm not even going to start on Shaq.

Lee on the other hand smoked them time after time.

Oh, and Mikyle McIntosh is a bad man.

STL just got more interesting - and important.

That is all.

Not sure which Shamet you were watching---the Landry version was awful tonight. None of our guards belonged on the same floor as Paris Lee tonight. Agreed, McIntosh KILLED us. We had no answer. Shaq--had 3-4 good first half minutes...a disaster in the second half. He even fouled while sitting on his butt. Daishon---there are no words.

[vancedave56]

Redbirds experience was evident. We do not have an identity; nothing to hang our hats on.

The distractions of the morning likely played into the loss; it's enough to take our focus off the game and put it on being upset about the shoot around. Slightly off thought process going into the game.

we couldn't match up with Hawkins and McIntosh - bigs on the outside. We should have pounded inside much more often - they would not be able to contend nor have enough bodies to guard us in the paint if we kept pounding it in.

[WuDrWu]

Those four losses that some of you see ISU getting in the Valley---who to? I can't see anybody beating them including WSU unless we get our act together in a big game. The game at CKA could very well be for a tie in the Valley.

1)I don't give a flying **** what ISU does. Go win everything by 50 until Feb 4 for all I care. I care about how our guys play.

2)This is one game. A good team in a huge game played well and kicked our butts. It's one game. They almost lost at home to MSU. They aren't CLOSE to as good as us here. Regardless. This ISN'T a changing of the guard. It's one game. Trust me.

[SHOCKvalue]

Some of you guys are embarrassing.

Especially the ones who are non-existent on the board except for loses. Bunch of masochists.
