Official WSU vs Loyola (IL) game thread

Shamet had 16 points, 7 boards, and 7 assists to just 1 TO. That's PoG numbers any time.

Landry is already high level but he also is going to improve his strength and weight as he matures and improve even more on driving to the rim and shooting ir dishing. When he is able to score through contact, he will go up another level.

MM needs to learn the RK lesson....Just DUNK the damn ball!!!
Sometimes he plays below the rim playing the contact game - No, you're 6-8 and should be throwin down some SCTopTen virals.

It is certainly, however whenever RK has achieved career highs, consistent play with a key productive moment, poor RK gets passed up for Shamet or Conner. I am not really shaking the hornet nest, just rolling along the "MK disdains RK joke in our seating section (note it is a joke).

Road win in the Valley results in the RPI dropping a spot to 53. LOL.

Check that. We're up to 47.

That crowd was just looking for a reason to blow the roof off. Our defense was key in the second half from keeping them from going on a sustained run.

Milton Doyle shoots 3-14 from the field. Haven't heard many comments on Zach. Really easy to take for granted what Zach gives this team with his defensive effort.

And I mean E-F-F-O-R-T.

Custer and Steed lead all scorers with 19.

Shamet is GOOD. And he is only a freshman. Man, we sure could have used him last year before the injury.

[Dave Stalwart]

Check that. We're up to 47.

I like being up into the 40's. The rest of the metrics show us much better, but that 50-60 range RPI stuff was hurting us. We need to be in the low 40's or 30's

That is some rugged defense. And, he chipped in 8 points and 4 rebounds. Heck of a game.

Elgin calls refs before game *try and keep it within 20*
Refs accept assignment *Operation ShockBlock protocols initiated*
Final Score Shox 81-64
Elgin contemplates next move. *every WSU road game*

The Ramblers board is griping about so many fouls being called in the second half.

[ShockingButTrue]

Any CF doubters left out there?

Not here.

[1972Shocker]

Landry and Conner with 32 points on 12-22 from the field, 11 rebounds and 11 assists vs only 1 turnover. That was pretty good.

This was my number 1 "worry" game of these last five. LU just seems to play harder against us than they do against other teams.
CF and LS are really finishing strong. Isn't there a saying about guard play and post season success?
80+ again.
ZB has really embraced the stopper concept.
RK dunks.
4 to go.

Oh, and ZS is not good.
