Great Comeback

[mikeshox]

I'll admit to being somewhat disappointed in how the game was going last night, but I did not give up. I stayed with it, cheering for the Panthers and hoping that they would get it together and stage a great comeback.

It happened! Those final minutes of regulation and the overtime were amazing! Nothing could stop Klint Carlson and that move he made behind the back and driving to the basket really shocked me.

Once again, the Valley does a number on the Big 12.

Great job Panthers.

Now, if only the Shockers can do the same when we play the Sooners in OKC.

Re: Great Comeback

Yes, amazing comeback. I felt like the crowd never gave up either. For the small numbers, we were pretty loud. Especially on UNI's defense.
The first 15 minutes and the last 15 minutes of the game we were strong defensively. If we could have gotten the lid off the bucket in the first 15, we would have dominated.

You guys go to Battle for Atlantis next week, right? We'll be watching and cheering.

Re: Great Comeback

We did not do well in the Battle of Atlantis. I've continually said it would be a while for this Shocker team to prove itself against top competition. Losing by 10 to the #10 team and by 5 against #24 is not horrible this early. Especially when they outscored Louisville the 2nd half and came back from -18 to get within 1 late in the Michigan State game gives some hope. Van Vleet, Baker and Wessel are tough to replace. I believe Coach Marshall will have the newcomers playing well soon.
