Chris Roberts took a 30 ft. shot at the end of the game because the crowd was yelling for him to shoot, it went in and because of that I will be eating a nice steak dinner at the Lariat , he didn"t show anybody up as it was not a dunk or a layup, why make such a big deal about it when we all know that he will be told not to do it again by his coach.

A big deal is made because people have such an inferiority complex that they feel the need to find something relatively unimportant to harp on to deflect from the focus of the argument (another loss, in this case).
Too little accountability these days. I'd hope we wouldn't stoop to that level on here ... harping about every little thing that outside programs do wrong ... losing streaks ... etc ... OH WAIT ...
Everyone wants to cut down the guy on top ... which except to the fans in Cedar Falls, we are!

Are 'points' scored used in Tie Breakers?
Don't much care about Chris's shot - but here are a few thoughts - #1 we are such poor shooter's I doubt too many people expected it to go in, #2 we will enjoy our 'free' dinner at Kouri's this week especially after missing last weeks by 1, and #3 in case of ties at the end of the 18 game season are 'scored points' used to determine tie breakers?
Not sure!Comment

Let me preface this by saying I didn't see the game. I can only go off the play by play in the Gamecast thingy.
If WSU's coach was so interested in ending the game,then why did his players launch a 3 and crash the boards in the last possession where the shot clock was off? Couldn't they have just dribbled it out? I am not condoning the last second BU bucket, but it seems silly to blow it out of proportion.
Also, in early references to fouling to extend the games that are lost but not blowouts, I can make one analogy. Do opposing fans and coaches get angry at the other team for running their 2-minute offense in football down by 2 touchdowns instead of taking 3 knees? Yeah, they aren't going to come back, but it may be beneficial to gain some confidence in that area of the game.Comment

No, ties are broken by a points system the Valley uses. I have a spreadsheet that calculates all of this data. Very interesting formula, definitely.Originally posted by daPAWW1 View PostGo Braves!Comment

The only thing more obnoxious in Wichita than the WSU fan base is Gregg Marshall. I've always questioned Greg's with 2 G's.
Part of me hopes that Mr Roberts told him what he could do and where he could do it.Comment

You are right on Coach. Chris is an extremely polite, congenial young man.Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
I hope he does not take the ravings of an irrational coach, who's team just got demolished, personally.
Any Coach that would verbally chastise or physically assault an opposing teams player is a big fat "0" in my book.

Is Marshall a moron...it had NOTHING to do with him or the Shockers. I agree with Mo, Run your OWN team and let JL manage his.
I hope we don't but I wouldn't mind the league hearing about his confrontation with CR. GM is lucky it didn't escalate.....what a fool.Comment

Chris is a good young man and coach Marshall must have went off the deep end confronting him after the game , he should be the one telling Chris he is sorry.Comment

When I started this thread...
When I started this thread I did not want to create any controversy. I do not defend the WSU coach. His reaction as the game ended could have been heat of the moment.. but later he should just suck it up.
Nor do I think CR was trying to show up WSU.. he just got caught up in the moment. I am sure JL said something along the lines of "we don't do that" and that should be enough.
I do find it interesting though, that there are a significant number of responses based on hatred of the WSU program and the love of free food. In jest or not, I would have thought the overwhelming number of responses would say "Win With Class". I'd also be willing to bet that's what JL would say.Comment

In your first post you said JL is earning a bad reputation. Now you say he would say 'Win With Class". Make up your mind, or are you now seeing how dumb your first post was?Originally posted by KillerB View PostWhat part of illegal don't you understand?Comment
