Official WSU vs Loyola (IL) game thread

Top 25 anyone?...

I think it will be close and I'm gonna say yes. There was some helpful activity this weekend that may be just enough to let WSU's foot in the door. I'd rather not wait another week. A lot of NCAA tournament selection talk has already begun and we need to get on the good side of the bubble for a few weeks leading into the Dance

When it comes to ruining Super Bowls for opponents the Shockers make Tom Brady look like a piker.

Nice win for the Shocks on the road. Sweet halftime adjustments by our Coaching Staff. Conner scored the first hoop and then got sizzling hot in the 2nd half. Shaq and Landry were on and we slowed Jackson to a mild roar after he was so accurate shooting for 3 halves in a row before that. Onward to SIU we go.

pretty obvious you don't coach a Protestant team in that league

And the kids aren't being coached by a Catholic either. Shhhh, can't let the word get out! It is fun, though, being able coach no matter the league.

[1972Shocker]

I wouldn't be surprised to see him be a good contributor again when we hit the postseason.

He certainly has the phsyical tools but it won't depend on that. Will he have the ability to make the needed adjustments to his game? If he does then no reason he can't be back in the middle of things again.

My view:
1. Depth
2. 3G recruiting
3. SM becoming a force
4. RK !
5. MM a complete player
6. ZB - just focus on your D and take care of the ball
7. What a nice back court we have
8. NO NO NO on a RS for AR unless it's medically necessary
9. NO NO NO on a RS for RN
10. DS looked good today in limited minutes - improving
11. DW - So much potential - his day will come
12. Again, Conner and LS !!!!!!!!!

Was a little worried about this one. Road wins are great! Go Shoxs!

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*

IMO, Shamet Frankamp and Shaq are emerging as our big 3. McDuff still makes too many mistakes and is a little too loose with the ball and weak underneath. Good complimentary player, built he has a lot to work on and isn't an All-Valley player like some people think. Willis has disappeared from the team the past few games. Hope he figures it out before it's too late. Kelly is another guy that has come on strong and is providing a steady presence on the court. Our bench seems to be shortening as we enter the most important part of the season.

So MK stiffed RK on player of the game once again?

[Kaneohe]

A seriously great team effort. So many people played well.

[Dan]

Who did they give it to? I would've went Shamet for the leadership he provided today.

[Stickboy46]

Still at 16 in KP. Win moved us to within .09 of Duke. Currently have the 20th best offense AND Defense.

So MK stiffed RK on player of the game once again?

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