WSU game thread

[nevadanatural]

I wasn’t able lo watch last weekends game live so didn’t post during the game. Looking forward to TU competing today.

 

[nevadanatural]

Looks like they’re going to let TU players get mugged inside without a call.

 

[nevadanatural]

Off to a decent start. I hope WSU stays cold for a while.

 

[cmullinsTU]

Like the aggressive defense from the tip. A bit too much weakside collapsing that’s going to hurt us once WSU starts making shots.

Hoping we can continue finding Igbanu. He’s getting nice looks.

TU up 10-5 at first media TO with Etou to take FT for and-1 opportunity

 

[nevadanatural]

Somehow I would rather see Henderson shoot it from 30 than Wheeler shoot it from 3.

 

[URedskin54]

Henderson seems to like playing his former school. Looks really confident

I keep hoping one day Frank will realize we have two guys that need 35 minutes in these kind of games. Early subbing seems to show today won’t be that day.

 

[rusty-c]

Henderson just had his head ripped off on that three attempt and no call.... Physical and letting guys play is one thing, What gives???

 

[I.I.]

I would have the team doctor culture those facial lesions on Reaves.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Reeves? 7-7 from 3.
Anyone care to guard him?

 

[Weatherdemon]

Wow.
Major meltdown

 

[Weatherdemon]

We were 15-16 on rebounds before this run.
Now 16-24

 

[I.I.]

Offensive rebounds are the reason we collapsed.

 

[nevadanatural]

Yeah, we played them dead even for most of the half then they ran over us for a couple of minutes. I hope we can get our mojo back. You don’t expect Reeves to light you up for 23 points in the half.

 

[nevadanatural]

We need to make a run to start the second half to remain in touch.

 

[I.I.]

Reaves scored 74 points in a high school game and averaged 47 in the tournament. Had only one major offer. WSU. Arkansas not interested. Played for Arkansas Wings with Korita.

 

[nevadanatural]

WSU has been credited with 6 blocks in that first half. In another venue probably four of those would have been fouls. I’m still mystified how the refs missed that foul on Henderson.

 

[URedskin54]

We played pretty well and still ended up down 10. Rebound better and consider guarding Reeves maybe

 

[TU Sepp]

Looks like Austin Reaves is tonight's player that we are trying to make look like the National Player of the Year!!!

 

[Original TULSAFAN]

Tulsa played about as hard and well as they can.

Just a talent and depth gap.

 

[URedskin54]

Gotta laugh at the stuff Morris gets away with vs the weak call on Igbanu against him there

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Tough for 10 minutes but just getting manhandled since.

What’s with the Taplin carries?

 

[nevadanatural]

Three turnovers now in the second half.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Wish we played harder defensively...needs to be part of our culture.

The Shockers battle...all the time.

 

[URedskin54]

Wish we played harder...needs to be part of our culture.

The Shockers battle...all the time.

I don’t think our effort has been bad

 

[TUBballJunkie]

I didn’t read that as effort.

Rather physical and mental toughness.

We ain’t dead yet although Wheeler has to have that.

 

[TU 1978]

Still in the game. Get Wheeler out.

 

[nevadanatural]

Willis hooks Junior and they call Etou for the foul.

 

[URedskin54]

What is wheeler doing

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Man Wheeer has to have that one too.

 

[nevadanatural]

I agree, Wheeler needs to sit.

 

[hotterthanyourhusbandTU]

Vintage Wheeler.

 

[Air_Raid918]

Wheeler is just terrible offensively. 2 turnovers, 2 missed layups

 

[jesterondirt]

Bench points
TU - 2
One in the stink - 29

 

[TU Sepp]

Wheeler needs to find the bench ASAP...

 

[Air_Raid918]

Henderson came to play. Keep it close down the stretch and you never know

 

[URedskin54]

I didn’t read that as effort.

Rather physical and mental toughness.

We ain’t dead yet although Wheeler has to have that.

Hey if “more physical” was the meaning of “playing harder” and you figured it out then credit to you, you’re smarter than me(prob true)

 

[nevadanatural]

They punched us in the mouth to start the second and went out to a 19 point lead but we’ve battled back to within 6. Win or lose we had a chance to give up and didn’t.

 

[Weatherdemon]

Not happy they got down 20 but impressed they fought back to 6.

 

[Air_Raid918]

Refs are atrocious

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Great intensity these last few minutes.

Ride the starters to the final buzzer.
