official mtxe is back gameday thread

[ShockerFever]

That was a great MTXE celebration. Good stuff.

Overall, a decent effort. Bradley hit some tough shots at times but they were clearly the inferior team.

Blair continues to impress. 5 guys in double figures. Durley dominated.. and yes he should have been POG.

But what is up with Toure?... Seriously.



Needed to be 2-1 at this point and we are. It would be nice for this team to shock me and a lot of people and go into a big road game next week and get a W.

What do you mean by this? He had 15 points didn't he? or was tha Sarcasm?

[Anthroshock]

But what is up with Toure?... Seriously.

15 pts on 5 of 11 and 2-5 3pt. 3-4 freethrows. 4 rebounds 5 assists 1 block 1 steal. No fouls.

Yeah... what is up with Toure?

I don't know why, but I may predict a loss for the first time this season on Wednesday.....yeah I know crazy huh? LOL :D

0 turnovers too...what is up with THAT!?

[ShockerFever]

Sorry, I should have used an emoticon after the sentence. :good: Maybe that wouldn't have looked so bad.

I was basically giving my own self crow. I've called TM out lately and today he played a pretty solid game. He's looking more to pass and it's connecting.

The only downside were the couple of wide-open daggers that he could have and normally sinks.

I don't know if JT's game was better than Hatch or not. It's a matter of perspective. JT's numbers were very good 20 pts 3 Reb and 0 Assists. Hatch's were 11 9 0 with 4 Off. Reb. Of his Off. Reb. I would bet that some resulted in other players points. Pretty good numbers for both of them.

I'd say we have a better chance on Wednesday than we did in Normal. :good:

[shockmonster]

Maybe Murry should have gotten POG. or Hannah with 12 3 and 8 assists. You could make a case for all of them. Shockers played a good game today.

[pinstripers]

1. All 5 starters in double figures.

2. Durley and Blair both had moments. Looked "bookend-ish"

3. Major minutes again for DW.

4. Kyles was not very good in the second half, but he was waaaay better than he was in the first half.

5. Best halftime show that I ever saw in that building.

6. Also one of the best renditions of the National Anthem.

[WuDrWu]

Clevin, Demetric and Toure combined for 16 assists and ZERO turnovers.

Bradley needs a big guy if they expect to be more than .500.

Seeing Antoine and Cliff back to back (bookends) was fantastic.

I couldn't have picked Eric Kuhn, Jay Jackson or Mike Denny out of lineup if my life depended on it.

Watching the team sit after we scored was classic. Watching Antoine try to convince X not to sit (we stand for defense now, X) was even better....I thought X was going to pop him one.....and I'm pretty sure AC would have come right back at him.

I am very happy the guys won.....I would have hated to see X whip their collective asses in the lockerroom if they had lost. It would not have been pretty.

All those guys had a GREAT time, and man did they deserve it. Gene was super.

I forgot how short Ted is.....is he still in Wichita and if he is, what is pedalling these days?

We will see ALOT of zone this year. Better be prepared to play against it. We need to get better at it too, if UNI zones they might be alot better at it then BU.

Might?


We're going to have to play the best game so far of the season to win at Missouri State. It should be obvious to everyone by now they aren't the same team that finished in the basement last season. Anything less that a stellar effort and we'll get beat, and maybe beat bad.

It's time to step up and play and fight like men and win a game we aren't supposed to....at least not on paper.

:wsu_posters: :goshocks: :posterwu: :posterwsu:

[ShockBand]

I agree. Until we prove otherwise, I think zone is the book on us. Would be a great road win to get Wednesday night!

[Shocker Rocker]

After hearing all of the raving about the halftime show, is there a chance that anyone out there has a taped version of it that could make its way to YouTube?
