WSU vs ISU (blue) Game Thread

[kcshocker11]

When WSU was down 15 with 8 and change left, I turned to the person beside me, who was pretty gloomy, and said, "we can beat this team by 15 in 8 minutes". Yep.

Shocks scored 33 points in the last 8:30 minutes.

Wow, thats impressive, we've had so many teams that couldn't score, it's great to see our potential! :posterwu: 8)

We would have score 39 if we would have made the 6 free throws we missed during that time.

Has to be the greatest comeback I have seen in recent years by the Shox.

I never thought the Shockers were going to lose.

[DUShock]

Wow, what a wild ride.

Sully must have read the last game thread. Marshall sure has a way with phrase-ology.

Bears, beets, Battlestar Galactica
Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall went all Dwight Schrute in explaining how he warned his team before the game.
The Sycamores lost leading scorers Harry Marshall and Dwayne Lathan to injury earlier this week. Both could miss the rest of the season.
Marshall knew the dangers of facing a team in that state.
“Bears are pretty dangerous to begin with,” he said. “A bear injured in a Sycamore tree is probably the most dangerous bear you could deal with. I think that’s the way they played.”
The Sycamores lived up to Marshall’s fears. They made 13 of their first 18 shots and led by 16 in the first half.

Did anyone else also hear Bruce say "and the Shockers come in at 17 and 4" right before the game started?

No, he didn't mention any record right before the start, but he did say 19-5 earlier in the pregame.

bruce is horrible and stevens isnt any better...bruce just pissed me off the whole night...until with about 8 minutes left I muted them and suddenly everything was rosy...wierd

bruce tries to overcompensate by being a complete non-homer b/c he went to school at wsu. craig steven pretty much does the same. personally i enjoy that aspect of the broadcasts but unfortunately neither one of them is terribly knowledgeable about anything.

I don't see NCAA tourney caliber teams losing at home to a depleted team without their leading scorer.

Well, does that mean we're an NCAA tourney caliber team again?



It was fugly for a while but as rjl said, **** happens. You can't be on every freaking night. And normally, these types of nights where an opponent shoots apecrazy end in L's.

I expect at least a little bit of a "homer slant" from our broadcast team. Nothing MK like, but give a little bit of leeway. It's not like they're broadcasting on ESPN to a neutral audience.

Craig is .. well, just.. Craig.

i understand that. again, imo, if i wanted a homer slant on a game i would just mute the tv and listen to the radio. i love MK, but he personifies what i view as the typical wsu fan, someone always complaining about the officials and how they are out to get us. personally i think it would be great to have creighton guys announcing the games for us.

Notice how I said "nothing MK like".. I think you got confused..

sCUm announcers? If you're talking about their radio clowns, uh hell no. They're just as big of homers as MK except during WSU broadcasts they unleash their hate for WSU.

No thanks.

i realize you dont want an MK slant on the game. in terms of the creighton guys, yes i would love have them announce all of the wsu games. it would be great to listen to them whine as wsu was winning games. the only part that would suck was win wsu lost. it might be unbearable.
