Game #16

[Shockerfan13]

Shockers beat Illinois State by 40+ at home.

UNI snapped the Shockers home court winning streak last year.

Shockers by at least 20. Probably 30+

Yep, back to reality. This was such an unrealistic prediction for this game. Unfathomable.

As for the comment on free throws. WSU shot more and UNI wasn't in a foul to extend situation. It either means the officials were calling it for WSU according to a lot of fan's logic that that is why one team shoots more free throws than the other OR that whole idea that UNI just gets all the calls really is the complete BS it always has been.

Fouls were even at 18 a piece. WSU shot a lot more FTs because they attacked the rim and WSU got called for clocks, charges, over the back, and moving screens. Those aren't shooting fouls. I will say that UNI did very little flopping after the first media timeout. It's as if they gave up on winning.

I wouldn't call 6 more FT attempts a "lot". What made it seem worse is WSU made a better percentage. I guess we should have intentionally missed a few more to keep it fair....

Why is it so wrong to think or hope your team may win a game or play a competitive game?

Why is it unreasonably brash and jerky to point out that 90% of a college basketball season's worth of information indicates that a team may not win, or get blown out?

I'm just going with the smarter play with the line being a bit inflated a bit and that I really think UNI is better than most give them credit for.

Classic.

I hope you didn't bet your apartment lease.

It's not wrong. It's just hallucinogenic in certain instances.

Fan comes from the word "fanatic". It may be hallucinogenic to believe in your team in against unreasonable odds but it's also a natural part of being a fan.

-29.

But I'm the idiot.

Sure. But it also has consequences on a conference message board.

Just thought you would want to know, glm.

The Shockers have three primary, inside players - Morris, Willis and Nurger

Collectively, these players are averaging 24.7 points per game and 12.8 rebounds per game.

You may want to revise your preseason analysis of Shocker big men production.

Yes I'll publicly acknowledge my mistake there.

Willis has played very well. And both Nurger and Morris are vastly improved over last year. At the start of the year the games I watched those 2 seemed like the same players as last year. But they have really come on especially the 2nd half of your season.

EVERYONE is wrong sometimes. Even Shocker fans. :
