Up Next: Wichita State

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

This isn't elementary school. There was time on the shot clock, UNI didn't guard him, what is he supposed to do? Allow a shot clock violation?

With the game in the bag you run the shot clock out. Not take a NBA range 3 half way through the shot clock. I agree it wasn't a classy way to end it.

Well you would be wrong. You don't take a shot clock violation on purpose... Ever. Yet again, if your guys hadn't given up, he wouldn't have been open. No need to be a sore loser (directed only at the few posters saying we should have had a mercy play)

Edit: You guys beat Bradley by 36. Were you that upset that you ran up the score? Did you tell your guys to hold the ball until you got a shot clock violation in order to make sure you only won by 15? Same concept

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

Sigh. Realistically not a game I expected to win. Several moments in the second half where I thought there was a chance, again just couldn't get over the hump. More life offense at times. Only allowed 3 offensive rebounds. Perhaps they are starting to turn the corner?

Re: Up Next: Wichita State

I think we are maybe seeing the cumulative effects of playing with eight guys all year, and very young guys in the post. I think multiple guys are pretty banged up and just aren't able to be as effective as they were earlier in the year. And some of our young guys just look like maybe they're worn out. They seem to be getting worse as the year goes on....they may just be tired and banged up.

Might not be such a bad thing to more-or-less be able to push the reset button next year. I hope we don't lose any of our guards to transfer though or we could be in trouble.

Respect what they're doing out there. They're tough. But you can tell they're physically and mentally worn down.

I kind of thought that when they came out from halftime tonight. They just didn't seem to have any energy, just seemed off. Although it did feel better than Saturday, we still just can't put a big run together.

I don't think anyone is saying you literally run the shot clock out and take the violation, but that's my opinion and I guess if disagreeing with you on that makes me a sore loser so be it

The short bench is killing you guys. I agree that everyone looked a step slow tonight. Wes didn't look like he has before. Still good, but no killer instinct. Also were a lot of quick guarded 3s. Several went in, but can't figure that's the best shot.

Then why does it matter if you take the shot with 7 seconds left or 1? By taking it with 7 it gave your team an extra possession if they wanted to try to get some points back

No, we are winners. You'll see.

It was a nice effort by both the players and coaches. I'm afraid you'll see more of this and an abrupt end to the season in St.Louis. Wait until 16-17, we'll be much quicker and with depth.

Oh trust me, I know what you guys are capable of. It just seems your team needs to remember that.

This was one of two games I figured we would lose going into conference

Correct, our intelligent team learns new things everyday. We'll be back in 16-17! Keep your head up!

Just could not break the 6 point barrier. They finally showed some enthusiasm after the 5-0 run or whatever it was to start the second half

What's up the Shocknet game thread Forum? I see very few shocker fans with analysis of the game as it is viewed. Your forum game thread reads like a drunken party. Tell me I'm wrong?

Drunken party sounds about right. Granted analysis is normally less needed after a win than a loss. But yes, it gets off topic real fast and is more comments than analysis.
