Shocks at Aces Official Game Thread

[ShockTalk]

The Aces allow an average of 73 PPG in Valley play. This is just nuts!! Something's not right in Shockerville.

One bad game against a weak opponent, OK -- we came back and won. A second bad game in a row against an even worse team? Even if we win, that's just not right.

We care more about the NCAA's than this pathetic excuse for a team does. If they don't win, you can forget about this fan for the year.

Sorry.

I'm with you. Sadly. This is absolute horse ****.

[ShockerFever]

Obviously this team/coach has learned NOTHING from 3 days ago.

Pathetic effort by the Shox except for Stutz. The heart of a small flea... better be some chair throwing in the locker room.

Watching a good VCU-George Mason on the U. 64-63 VCU w/ 257 left in 2nd. Go Pats!

HCGM wears this first half. We don't even look like we've gameplanned for this team.

I think it is zero execution.

Yeah I have serious doubts that the coaching staff didn't game plan for this. It seems a lot like many of our lackluster games (mostly on the road) where the Shox look uninspired.

Quite simply it's a lack of overall maturity. Lack of urgency. It would be nice for them to learn this lesson finally instead of repeating it. Granted they've been able to win most of the time with this phenomenon, but it's getting a bit tiresome for the fans.

They've still got tons of growing up to do.

:whistle:

Outside of Stutz I'm with you. He's about the only one being aggressive at this point. He's playing with a sense of urgency. No one else is.

Let's all hope this nightmare ends soon ...........................

What has happened to us since the UNI game?

[WSUShokker]

We just play to the level of whatever team we're playing... good and bad. This is just silly.

I was thinking the same thing...doesent matter who it is ...we just dont come into the game with any kind of consistent effort game in and game out.

We can play with the evansville and creightons of the world and then we can play with the UNI,TT and Pittsburghs and be competitive in all of them ...the good and the bad

[ShockerPrez]

no butt chewing at half. If I'm Marshall, I don't even go in the locker room. If they want to embarass themselves, than can do it by themselves!

The Coaches should go get a coke and hot dog and let the fellas figure it out.

Do we think there is something marshall hasn't said/demonstrated/screamed about/encouraged yet?

Plus, how funny would it be to see the coaches sitting on the bench eating a hotdog?

Not as funny as Jamie Arnold.

[forevershockerfan]

We start out the game chucking up threr 3's in a row while they play us man to man? Stutz inside was all we really had going for us!!!!!!!

[Veritas]

The Shox should not be struggling against the InSU and UEs of the world.
Why are they not coming out against these cream-puffs and driving them into the hardwood???

I want to see a pounding against UE and not be in a position for a comeback.

Is this a game plan issue, execution issue, leadership issue, or heart issue?

Ugh!!!

[ShockRef]

Paid UE $5.95 to watch a low level D-1 team play a group that resembles a high school team.

How these guys don't take every opponent serious is beyond me.

Durley is the one who royally pisses me off. He is a 4th year player in the program and acts like he just got off the turnip bus from Texas.

Will they come out inspired and play with some emotion in the second half?

Who knows.

When you don't play every game like it's your last, you really have no clue how much of a privilege it is to play D-1 ball.

WAKE UP!!! 8)
