K-State in the Round House

[1972Shocker]

As @WuDrWu stated it was not the prettiest basketball you will ever see. In fact, it was pretty ugly at times.

I thought the win boiled down to which team had the best player on the court and that clearly was the Shockers Alex Harden, who despite dealing with severe foul trouble manage to pretty much carry the Shocks over the much bigger Wildcat team.

Still for this Shocker team to be good they need more than Alex and one or two of her teammates to show up each game. Alex was outstanding tonight and Michaela was very good also battling much bigger players. Kelsey was okay, but she also made a lot of mistakes and for some reason is playing pretty timidly especially on the offensive end. Jamillah, Alie and the rest of the team was pretty much MIA tonight.

Alex had 22 points on 9-17 FG's and 4-5 FT's, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.

Michaela 14 points on 7-14 FG's but missed both of her FT attempts. She added 5 rebounds and 3 steals including a huge steal with 1:19 to go after KSU had rallied to tie the game at 46 all. That was probably the play of the game.

Alex followed that by splitting the seam at the top of the zone and hit a pretty pull up 17 footer and then put the game away as she hit 3 of 4 FT's down the stretch.

Kelsey chipped in 9 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists but she also had 4 turnovers.

Jamillah and Alie each hit 1 trey for 3 points each to round out the scoring for the Shocks. Jamillah did have team high 6 rebounds, handed out 3 assists and made 2 steals, but she also turned the ball over 6 times.

So in the previous game Alex, Michaela and Jamillah had 48 of the Shockers 55 points.

Tonight Alex, Michaela and Kelsey had 45 of the Shockers 51 points.

That lack of depth may get exposed against Tennessee next week.

The starting five played the lion's share of minutes with Kelsey topping the group at 37. We just don't have much of a bench. I actually thought Kelsey was aggressive offensively with nine attempts, but missed some easy shots at the rim. She can be even more aggressive and attack the rim. Allie is just too slow to get her shot off against quicker teams.
Stovall held her own and Chapel wasn't bad, just no offense for either of them. Tennessee will be tough and we'll need much more offense from seven players.

It was pretty sloppy in the 2nd half, but dang-nations that was a lot of fun!

Nice crowd of 3,536. Not a real big contingent of KSU fans. The Shocker fans were loud and enthusiastic and I'm sure gave the Lady Shocks a nice boost.

OMG, someone please get Adams a clothing deal somewhere other than The Yard. Hidious.

She generally looks like she is dressing for clown college auditions.

Didn't notice Jody's attire at all. When I wasn't watching the game I was looking for Jacie Hoyt-Capra and Claire Coggins on the wildcat bench. They definitely have us in the attractive assistant department.

1979: If I'm not mistaken you used to take the time to put a point system together after games, a rating system. It was very much appreciated. I realize this must take a great deal of time and effort, and I understand if you don't have the time, just know it was greatly appreciated and painted a nice picture of the team.

Wasn't me coach. There are several usernames that are very similar. 1979shox, shox79 etc. Someone used to put together the prouty? Ratings after each game that came with a letter grade. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

[Shox1979]

It was 1979shocker. I went back and looked. Had to give credit where it's due.

Thanks. Yes, I believe their handle resembles yours, my memory just isn't clicking.

Thanks again. 1979 Shocker, want to come out of retirement? We sure did appreciate your detailed effort.
