Indy State loses at HOME

That triple OT wore Indiana State out.

Guys, I still have FSN on and I think someone needs to check under the skirt of OU's #12.

Woof

That's a big girl.

What's wrong with Hatch and free throws.

this is an excellent question. Those two at the end were brutal. The first one clanked way of the back, and the second barely made it to the rim. He's got some serious mental issues going on there.

Anybody remember this?

From Wikipedia:

"Steve Sax Syndrome"

Though never regarded as one of the top fielding second basemen in the league, Steve Sax inexplicably became incapable of making routine throws to first base in 1983, committing 30 errors that season. This is referred to in baseball terminology as "Steve Sax Syndrome", the fielder's variant of "Steve Blass disease", named after the Pirates pitcher who suffered a similar breakdown of basic mechanics. As his accuracy suffered, fans sitting behind the first base dugout began wearing batting helmets as mock protection. (Teammate Pedro Guerrero, an outfielder pressed into service at third base in 1983, once reportedly stated that his first thought whenever he was in the field was "I hope they don't hit it to me," while his second thought was "I hope they don't hit it to Sax.") By 1989, however, Sax seemed to be completely "cured", leading the American League in both fielding percentage and double plays.

The tale of two halves. Thank goodness we had the better one. Nice comeback and now we may be 2nd round NIT good.

Another question, why was he in at the end guarding a guy 4 inches taller and is probably the only guy that could win it for SIU. He didn't, but could have.

Indy State loses at HOME

That one is going to hurt me in the pick 'em contest.

I guess I should learn that teams are never as good as they look against us.

Shocks with a season low 5 turnovers (vs 17 for SIU).

Toure with 7 assists to 1 turnover and Joe with 5 assists to 1 turnover.

Outstanding.

Effort and confidence always trump marginal effort and over-confidence

[GarH]

When you get 12 assists between the two PGs, that is a recipe for a win.

Well how about 5 turnovers on the road? I liked our bigs tonight, especially JT and "we got you Gabe." I am not sure why we got outrebounded, but hey hey hey--we are undefeated on the Valley road so far which has never ever happened in Shocker history. 5-0--hey hey hey. We will take it. JT, Gabe, DK, and Toure' were tough. Hooooray for Toure' and his 1000 points. Whew--that is alot of points in 3 Seasons. 74-64--a nice road win. KCSHOX was describing a dichotomy of how bad we looked in the 1st half versus good thangs in the 2nd half. As Dickens proclaimed--"It was the best of times--it was the worst of times? " Yikes!!!!!!!

Are you comparing our second half to our first half???

[Anthroshock]

Now my toughest decision tonight is to stay with the Van Winkles or go to some 12 year old Redbreast. Kentucky or Irish. Decisions, decisions.

Irish. Irish irish irish.

I gotta work tomorrow. I'll stick with my Highland Park.

After that first half I need it!
