Anyone know why Hamilton didn't get in?

Edit: posted too soon. Guess he's way down the depth chart.

[MadaboutWu]

To go with his 24/8 Shaq had 4 assists (0 TO), 2Blks, 1 steal.

Way to go, big guy!

First half we were led by Austin "I still lead the Valley in 3-point pct." Reaves and Boom Shaq a Shaq a Laca Morris. They both played very well on both sides of the floor

No "Great Scott" scoring until right before the 2-minute warning in the 1st half and Brown gets noticed for that by Defensive player of the game.

Nice to see CJ in the game today and he looked solid.

[AZ Shocker]

Yeah I like CJ. He looks quick and bouncy. Think we got ourselves another good guard there!

[Shocker Mama]

They're are airing a half-time profile on Markus with Kunkle doing the reporting. He sounded exactly like Ron Burgundy :glee:

Except Beakier?

Hell of a job by Zach, Markis and Landry holding Brenton Scott to 3 points. 14.8 below his season average.

Way to Sic 'em more Shaq. Now that you proven you can do you have to keep doing it.

Nothing wrong with our Freshman trio of Shamet, Reaves and Keyser. Nice to see C.J. do well in a non-janitorial role although he did get a little frisky their late in the 1st half.

Why was Gregg sitting on a chair in the pregame huddle? Injured? Never seen that before.
I hope that next year we don't have a GameDay that coincides with Darral birthday.
How far behind the line were Austin's threes.
In the post game interview Gregg said he was looking forward two years to a core of Markis, Austin, C.J and Landry.
I don't think Brenton Scott will make first or second team.
I thought Shaq had 8 rebounds in the first half alone.
Kinda funny watching Markis guard Scott. The height differential was amazing.

And to prove there is a problem with the sound, the commercials are actually softer than the game---that NEVER happens.

I haven't seen the rest of the thread, but on a lot of games, ESPN only sends a camera crew and the color comes from Bristol in a studio.

From the Sycs board --

I have nothing to really add. We played like absolute dogshit, and I had a nice live view of the mess.

Bottom line, there really isn't a single player on our roster that matches up with WSU. We don't have a Shaq Morris equivalent on our team. No McDuffie. We just don't have the horses.

Zach Brown did a great job containing Scott. He's their defensive specialist and it showed. He kept Scott in check all day. It also didn't matter which of Bell/Murphy/Rickman/Kessinger we threw at Morris, he was going to draw a foul or score the ball. Every big man we have was in foul trouble.

The one positive I thought was Demonte. He played fairly well for a guy that can't seem to sniff the regular rotation. He's our most athletic player - at this point we need to see what we have in him and give him some mor playing time. He's earned it, I think.

[Dave Stalwart]

I knew it was going to be a good game when I saw HCGM shaking his wrists early in the first half.

Shaq is 100% the best center in the conference. This is merely what he is capable of when he is allowed to play all game. Put him against Murphy who is bigger than him and all the sudden the refs aren't calling Shaq for everything.

[ShockTalk]

I was surprised by the lack of minutes Reaves got in the second half after having such a great first half.

He was second in minutes behind McDuffie in the first half, yet 7 players got more minutes and 2 more got as many minutes as Reaves in the second half.

I get the feeling Gregg still worries about his physical well being.

Meh. I believe his HS coach was even here to watch him.

[I_Vector_Wu]

Love, love, love how AR plays ball. Sharp passes, ball fakes, not afraid to mix it up in the lane, great looking shot. I wonder if he's related to George Reaves the original "Superman", I'm thinking yes.

Great D by ZB.

CF wide left, did I really see that?

Happy Birthday Willis, off day, the valley apparently knows a little more about you now.

Shaq Bay-Bee! He is just what the doctor ordered against teams that are a little more physical. Well done young man, save some for the 4th of February. Dear HCGM, cut him some slack for the occasional brain fart, no one is perfect, he needs to start the game with some positive vibes.

Finally, congrats to Mrs. Vector for winning the ICT Ike trivia contest! Will $100 get us to Phoenix in April?
