Shockers vs. Jayskers Gamethread

[shock10]

The kind of game that gets ONE Valley team and 100 Valley Refs in the BCS Tournament they now how to screw a team. BS............

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

Lets regroup and kick the **** out of Northern Iowa.

See you in St Louie .....

The referees were terrible. But WSU lost this game – they were not beat – they lost. There is a difference.

G.E.D.

I agree. Less than good refs, but we just didn't get it done.

As disappointing as this is (and I HATE losing to CU) it's not completely surprising. We knew we weren't going to win all road games. The sad part is, we COULD have won this one with a few more plays made, a couple of more free throws or a couple of less fouls called on us.

Time to move forward and enjoy and extend our home court advantage Tuesday night.

Bring on the Panthers.

We make our free throws AND make those two easy lay-ups we missed in the first half and we win this game. I've never hated another team and their fans more than Creighton, and that includes the Denver Broncos!

HCGM... " Ive never seen a foul parade like that...If you would of let me know it was going to be a foul parade I would of brought a different team" .... "dont talk to me about fouls....Ive got to go back and look at some tape... I have some thoughts but I need to look at the tape and then I will have something very strong to say"

somewhat paraphrased but pretty accurate to what he said

And it is Q.E.D. I can't even type right now.

Unless I missed it, Mike Kennedy didn't ask HCGM what was supposed to happen in the last 13 seconds. Tourre said something about two traps???? Thats an awful lot of trapping when we need a foul no later then 5 seconds into that possession.

[WSUShokker]

We can call it "The Screw at the Q"

[Perezident]

This was just a horrible game all around...poor execution, miserable refs, and not well coached! At the end of the day it was a game we deserved to lose. And it definitely was not Kyle's fault, mult players had opportunities to give a hard foul and didn't. Ugh i'm in such a bad mood now! We gotta show up Tuesday prepared to play!

[LoneStar48]

Well, one good thing is that the sweet 16 team didn't win up there either!

[DUShock]

So the "they let'em play" crowd what was the final 2 minutes of the tech game? Was it "let'em play?"...

[shockerfan]

I'm pissed....this one hurts....

The Sweet Sixteen team would have demolished this Creighton team. When I first started watching the game, Creighton's lack of overall potency made me thing back to the typical Drake team. Creighton is bad, really bad. If we can't win in Omaha against THIS Creighton team, the record should be safe for another decade.

Watching our team play without Hannah on the floor, is like watching a guy try to drive a Ferrari without a steering wheel. All that power wasted.

Was Witter surprised the Shockers didn't foul in the closing seconds to at least get a chance for one last shot?

“Oh, my God,'' he exclaimed. He paused, then reconsidered his approach to the question. “No, I wasn't surprised. That's Valley play, it's a physical conference. Towards the end of the game, they put their whistles away and let us play a little more.''
