ICT316 - did you watch the game when you said poor shooting did IN St in? I think the WSU pressure defense in the 2nd half wore them down. The TV commentators commented on that although it was obvious. For WSU to win, they have to play pressure defense.
Sure, they mishandled the ball some to drop from an 11-pt lead to a 3-pt lead, but hopefully, this win will give them more confidence and composure for their next road game!
Like I said earlier, I didn't need them to point out the obvious. Toure Murray made a key stop on Marshall late in the game after Marshall had beaten him a number of times prior to that. It was almost like the Evansville game when Toure hit the winning 3 with 8 sec's left. Prior to that, he was about 0 for 5 in 3-pt shot attempts. Your position is that the Shocks defense didn't have much to do with Ind State missing their shots in the 2nd half. Since you mention Bruce, that shows that you watched the game on TV. I thought maybe you listened to it on the radio instead.
The Shocks pressure defense has been a factor in all 5 of their most recent wins. It didn't show up in the Bradley game on the road though.
No to nitpick, but there seems to be a lot of mis-spellings of our player's names. There is no "A" in Murry.
Well if you want to nitpick than you should also make clear that Toure has an apostrophe at the end (Toure'). I mean if we are going to nitpick we should nitpick the nitpicking should we not.
Just curious -- why would anyone think that ICT316 is Steve Eck?
I don't see any evidence in his profile, and even if he claimed to be Eck that doesn't mean it's true? My guess is that Steve is a little busy for this kind of stuff these days, and it also strikes me that ICT's comments don't show the basketball sophistication one would expect of such an extraordinarily successful coach.
Certainly the avatar doesn't tell us anything, any more than Shirley Schmidt's former use of a picture of Gene Stephenson indicated that he/she was Gene.

Settle down there Mr. Serious.
One quick fix for ya:

No, ICT is likely not THE Steve Eck. I'm guessing a brother, or son maybe. Could be his wife even. Some sort of family relative for sure.
Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

Might there be a second storm brewing? We have a great chance to help ourselves out in a big way tonight.
SIU @ MSU- A week ago I picked SIU to win. Now Bryan Mullins is out, there are only 8 healthy dogs on the team, and Missouri St. beat a non-injured Evansville at home last Wednesday. Barry Hinson always liked the Shockers, maybe that rubbed off on his players and they want to see us out of the play in.
Bradley @ Drake- So far Bradley is 3-3 on the Valley road. Drake also holds a 3-3 record at the Nap Center. Both come into the game after losses on their home courts. I think Bradley is the better team and should take this game over a slumping opponent but this will be interesting game to follow.
WSU @ Evansville- This topic has been beaten to death on SN so there is not much else to say besides we have the ability to beat EU as long as we rebound, defend, and cut down on turnovers.
Go shocks, if we play hard and smart the win should follow. If not, EU played one hell of a game and they deserve the win.
