The OFFICIAL DARE WE ASK FOR A ROAD WIN? vs. BU Game Thread

[ShockerFever]

I really don't understand the hype about a team running a CU dunk play or BU hitting a 3 at the end of the game. Big freakin' deal.

Whatever happend to "give me your best shot, because as a player, team and a program I'm going to keep coming back at you".

I have absolutely no problem whatsoever with BU hitting a 3 to jack up the score. They beat us. What difference does an extra 3 make (unless you're laying bets or something). I wouldn't have given a ratz ass if he had hit it from midcourt, halfcourt, or from the stands. The game's over, we lost, and rubbing a little salt in the wound never hurt anyone. In fact it probably builds character.

The point is for the program to get to the point where opponents' 3s are being jacked up at half court to get the score closer in contrast to running up the score. Until then, bring on the salt...

Now from the Shocker perspective, I'd be disappointed with WSU running up the score, because you want to show a little pity and mercy on your victim.

you were prolly one of those people that was ok with the 100-0 thrashing in the Texas HS girls game a couple weeks ago

Paul Savage?

Ummm. You really don't see the difference between BU vs WSU and your example? Apparently, you don't think much of the WSU basketball team.

no you are saying its ok for a team up 12 to shoot a 3 while the other team is walking off. Believe or not there should still be good sportsmanship displayed in College athletics.

Had he hit the three and pounded his chest while turning towards the WSU bench giving you the ole "throat cut" signal...yeah you guys have a beef. I'd be pi$$ed also AT my player if he did that....but he didn't. It had NOTHING to do with WSU and EVERYTHING to do with a kid reacting to the hometeams encouragement.

JL apologized......I wonder if GM will apologize for his profanity laced outburst towards the kid. I'm not expecting one. DO you condone Marshalls reaction? Not trying to start a war...just trying to offer a bit of perspective....on the grand scale of unsportsmanlike conduct this hardly registers anything.

Somebody's definitely not done with it..

I guess we'll just have to see how BU fans react to this same scenario happening to them. If you weren't on the other side, you really can't comment about it.

It takes a big man to cave into a crowd's needs and shoot an uncontested shot at the end of a game in a double-digit lead.

[ShauXTyme]

I said it a while back...GM is demonstrative - both towards his players, and towards the game. Now - towards the other team's players. For any WSU fan to discuss the 19 year old kid's shot at the buzzer as being "classless", what do you say about the 40+ yr. old coach and his completely "classless" display of immaturity? What would you say if it had been a 25 year old coach of a MAYB team saying that stuff to a 15 year old kid. It's classless, and it says something about the "character" of our coach, our team, and our school. It's embarrassing.

If Marshall really berated another team's player, he's in the wrong plain and simple. He owes the kid an apology. Marshall Can call Coach Les every name in the book, question his and his offspring's parentage if he so chooses and let him take it up with the kid. If Les doesn't want to, then it's on him and Marshall can plan accordingly.

I don't have a problem with Marshall losing his cool sometimes, it's refreshing. However, he needs to recognize when it's time to make amends. Cursing out other team's players-if true-is not becoming of a grown man DI coach.

Edit: I am starting to come around to the "where there's smoke there's fire" school about Marshall and his lack of emotional control. There is mounting ANECDOTAL evidence. I wouldn't trade him, but just like our team will need to grow up over the next few years, so will he.

Time for you to go away troll. Your revisionist history is bad and making unsupported comments like "profanity laced outburst" is worse. Go away. You do not know what Jim Les said to Marshall or what Marshall said to the kid. I do know that your head coach was in line ready to greet our coaches and players when the BU player launched up a 3 and when it went in Les was basically beside Marshall. Marshall at that time told Les "That's BS" and repeated it several times. I suppose Marshall should have just told Roberts "good shot" or something.

Obviously if your coach did not feel the shot was poor sportsmanship he would not have apologized for it and if you did not believe so you would not be trolling on our board defending same. I watched the game and read all of the reports and have seen nothing that would support your version of the events. Bye

[Shoxfan11]

I didn't see the shot (wasn't able to watch the game), but all I can say is that if we somehow meet this team again this year, I hope our team remembers the shot well.

You're partly right. I do not have a problem with an opponent running up the score on me. It simply would make me want to dig deeper the next time. Besides, who does it really make look bad (if any). A winner won't ask for mercy; only give it. I want the Shox to act like winners.

[ShockerFever]

I can see where Marshall did go over the top. Can you imagine Jim Les badgering one of our players in our home arena during a win? I can see where Marshall went over the top there and crossed the line. He should probably call the kid up and apologize.

But if the stupid kid never would've took the shot in the first place, we aren't here still discussing any of this crap..

[tBU]

OK...I can see I'm upsetting a few. Wasn't my intention. I visit here time to time just as a fan. Again...my intent was not to get anyone riled up. I was just trying to give MY point of view...if that makes me a troll I can deal with it. :)

Like I said...the shot wasn't directed at WSU. Thats my point. JL has spoke about it and I don't think it will happen again but these ARE college kids who grow up and become adults that do stoopid things also...

Good luck shoxs the rest ofthe year.

Why worry about a last second 3 that had no bearing on the game??????

To me, we should be worrying how Bradley's defense crippled our offense, and how they did not seemed prepared for it. Or why HCGM didn't make changes in the Offense to pentrate Bradley's defense, that's part of bench coaching. Or our crappy shooting percentage. I would like to see shooting percentages for the Shockers for the last 5 years, so we could compare this year to 4 prior years. (Regular and 3 point).

And we have to be the worst free throw shooting team in the conference.
I believe most teams aim for 75% or better, and we are at 62%, pretty poor.

There are plenty of things to worry about than some late game throwup for a 3.
