WSU vs Evansville Game Thread *Senior Night*

[pie n eye]

Actually he's only hitting 28% from 3 this year so I'm sure the scout was to let him take it...as you point out may have to rethink that one

As of yesterday's game Rashard is 9/20 (45%) from three on the year.

In anybody's wildest dreams, did they ever imagine Kelly going coast to coast or making threes?

[Cdizzle]

Most MVC teams lack the personnel to run a 10man deep defense that can go 40 minutes and guard 1-5 at a high level.

I think this is under-selling. Hopefully we find out in a couple weeks.

His change/improvement have been HUGE for this team. I wasn't able to watch the UNI game live or go to it so I watched the replay on my computer with headphones. It was really cool to be able to hear Kelly's verbal leadership while he's on the court. Calling out every rebound and helping call out defenses etc. There are a lot of players that have "clicked" to make this team as good as it is right now but Kelly's uptick has been amazing positive that I for one wasn't expecting. Happy for him!

I've been impressed with how well RK has handled the ball in the open court. He is very capable. Dude is just fun to watch. RK, MM, and ZB have been playing with their hair on fire lately, especially on the defensive end. And let's not even talk about the scrum last night. That was awesome. Although I cringe worrying about injuries. At least AR wasn't in that pile.

Kelly has 32 Assists to 29 turnovers this season, but is 27-16 in conference games. Last year he was 26-25.

His shooting% changes from non-con to conference games is 48.3% to 58.2%; 3-pt percent 60% to 30%; FT% 50% to 59.5%; rebounds 3.84 rpg to 4.94 rpg whiles minutes are 15.54 to 15.41 per game.

Light bulb has come on, big time.

That was one heck of a "scrum"; loved how the crowd 'roared' for the effort.

Kelly's done a really good job of picking his spots to score. He's very efficient and has figured out what he can do to have the biggest impact while he's on the court.

[ShockerFever]

I just saw that. Last years offense could be pretty bad at times (by our standards), I believe it was our worst offensive efficiency rating since Marshall's first year (Kenpom).

They are also talking about us running up the score. It's just us playing.

Shamet 25
Brown 22
McDuffie 21
Frankamp 21
Morris 19=
108 minutes from our starters, and none were in foul trouble to bring the minutes down.

The only two tools posting on that site are it's two administrators. And Lord, they are a clueless duo.

The bench played more minutes. The 13th and 14th players off the bench came in with 6 minutes left. And then 15 and 16 followed shortly after. We should apologize that our 13 and 14 guys were eating up the UE starters so badly. I mean I guess we should have emptied the bench to start the 2nd half and took our chances and hoped for the best since it appears all we are doing is padding our stats. Hell, why didn't the managers and ball boys get in the game? How terrible can we be?

We could have won that game by 60 and do what most teams do and put our starters in there until a token minute left and then let the back end of the bench just dribble the clock out.

Sorry that Bradley has been so deplorable the last decade that you have to get pissed off that the WSU bench is doing more damage than a lot of teams' starters. Tools.

One thing that I noticed, and sorry if it's been mentioned.

GMs 2nd half substitution pattern seems to be resting Shaq, Shamet and Frankcamp from about the 15 minute mark to around the 9 minute mark, while pressing with the subs and resting those 3 then putting them in to put the hammer down on a worn out opponent.

If this is what he is doing, its awesome.

Wichita State’s the first team this season to score at least 100 points and commit three or fewer turnovers against a D-I opponent. Salute.

I was referring to the guy he was guarding

Kelly was following the gameplan. He was destroying their offense. Which is why a terrible shooter took (and randomly hit) several 3s. If anything was a fluke last night, it was Evansville's 3pt shooting. They take and make less 3s than almost (might be any, haven't looked in a few weeks) every team in D1.

[Husker4Shockers]

Anyone know when the replay is? I wasn't able to watch it and recorded it according to the Cox guide and ended up recording the Iowa State/Kansas women's game on 2122 instead. I see there's a replay of the Iowa State/Kansas women's game later this week on Cox 2022. I wonder if that's really the replay for the men's game.

That's what the guide said but it was WSU/Evansville showing. Maybe you recorded it after all?

[ShockingButTrue]

And the replay on 2022 is... ku women.
