We scored 116 and nobody scored over 16! Zach Brown added 13 and McDuffie had 9 if you want to consider the 3 as part of the backcourt. Front court scoring was lead by Willis with 11. Kelly and Morris had 6 each. 16 players saw court time and 14 scored. The third team (#12-16) played the last 5 minutes. Eric Hamilton and JR Simon were the only players on scholarship in that group.

Through 4 games, WSU has scored 373 points, an average Margin of Victory of ~37. At the beginning of the year most people thought WSU would need to rely on Morris and McDuffie to be successful. So far they have scored a combined 73 points. Or only 19% of WSU's scoring. WSU is rolling out 9-10 legitimate threats to double digit scoring every game. Through 4 games, there have been 5 different players lead the team in scoring for a game. Shamet and Smith (16 each) for MES, McDuffie (18) for Tulsa, Frankamp (15) for LBSU, and Nurger (14) for SC State.

This isn't sarcasm or taking a shot at who you guys have played this far but I can't wait until wsu plays a good team. I want to see how the newcomers and vets alike play with some adversity or in closer games to see how they do and who steps up. Keep those wins coming tho!

The competition to this point has been less than was expected. Long Beach State was supposed to be at least like a mid-tier Valley team. Bad news for the Valley is that they probably are, but have a brutal non-con schedule.

Tulsa was known to be in a rebuild. The MEAC teams were probably scheduled thinking the Shox lack of experience would benefit from a few "warm up" type of games. That lack of experience hasn't looked like much of a factor.

What we have learned, against obviously non-quality competition, is that the Shox are able to go 10 deep without much drop off from the starters. There's also not a lot of drop off at the PG and SG positions from last year. They play different, but from a results standpoint, the guards this year aren't a big drop off from the two NBA guys who graduated last year.
