Good game Shockers

[ShockCity]

Not blowing smoke. I'm fully aware that your guys are in bit of a slump. idk what it is. I hope there's no internal chemistry problems that have been undisclosed and hurting the team.

I don't see any signs of that. But I did see you guys play earlier in the year. I watched you beat UNI. That's not the same team out there. I think it's confidence. Confidence can be a fragile thing for young players.

No offense and congrats on the win, but please take your win and go back to your board. We have appreciated the banter, time to move on.

BTW, Wesley is a dirty punk of a player and deserved to have an elbow shoved down his throat.

So are you telling me that I can't become a Shocker fan too? I'm a big time college basketball fan. I follow and cheer for many teams. Or is being a Shocker fan an exclusive club that I'm not welcome in.

btw Wesley is physical on the court. He refuses to get pushed around by anybody. I know him personally off the court and he's one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

Good for him, he still deserved a bow to the throat. If he can throw elbows, then he needs to be able to take one.

Wesley is a good player but he wreaked of thuggery.

SBD, you can't expect everyone on here to welcome you after a loss yesterday.

You might just wanna take a short hiatus and show back up later in the season. I'm sure you will be welcome.

Yes he did. Bigtime dirty thuggery and getting away with it.

[SuperiorBlueDiver]

He's about as far from being a thug as you can get. Look, I watched the broadcast of the game and I can understand how you all feel the way you do. Most of our WAC opponents hate him too.

I read through the whole game thread and bit my tongue. It's not stuff I haven't read on an opponents board before and it's all good. I can definately see things from both sides.

[SuperiorBlueDiver]

Ya thanks. I can accept that. I'm ready to not discuss the Utah State game anymore. It's run it's course. Time to put it in the rear view.

To simplify my thoughts on WSU at this particular point I think 2 things:

Both of these things can be vulnerable in a young team.

1. The pressure. The pressure to earn an at large bid as a mid major program is immense. It comes to a point where you feel like you can't lose a single game. That's not easy for a young team to handle especially when the media starts talking about it profusely.

2. I think the loss to Evansville let some doubt creep in. When teams lose confidence they are a step slower and unsure of themselves not wanting to make mistakes.

That's good to know. He is not a thug. He just plays like a thug (at least in this one game). Maybe that was out of character for him. I have no idea.

Nevertheless, I was impressed with USU and, hopefully, they will make it to the dance. They are the type of team that can really play havoc with the brackets.

Good luck.

From what I saw, he is a thuggish dirty player. You can play physical and tough and not be dirty and a thug. There's a difference. Throwing elbows is not playing tough, it's playing dirty.

[1979Shocker]

I think a lot of people here are probably thinking about the replay where it showed Wesley almost throwing an elbow at Ellis, but then held up.

you should be mad at our post players instead for letting him get away with it.

Or you can just label and call him names if that makes you feel better

I'm done discussing Tai Wesley and Utah State over here. Period. You've seen him play one game.

Actually, I've watched a couple of other games on tv this season and have seen nothing different.

If you think Wesley's elbow was impressive, you should see him count coup with his tomahawk. :)

That's fine. It's your opinion.
