Illinois St. @ Wichita St.

I can't figure out why the guards for ISU don't take those inside shots. They get a good drive and get in good position then throw it back out the the perimter. They need to go to the hoop on those drives.

I think Stutz might have them rethinking the shot at the basket.

That may be, but Stutz is also prone to foul when people go at him. Tonight he had some big blocks early on and that may have scared them off.

53-52 UHHHHH OHHHHHHHH

[Aargh]

WSU has a lot of Sr's on the perimeter, but some times their basketball IQ doesn't reflect that. Driving from the perimeter worked really well the first half, so what do they do the second half? Shoot 3's - and miss them.

No feed to the inside. No penetration. Just take the first open 3 they get. IlSU, not being idiots is giving them lots of open looks from 3.

Nic Moore huh? Really tells you how one sample can't give you a good gauge on a player.

I was completely unimpressed with him in the game with MSU (most of their other players spent their time being impressive).
