Isaiah Whaley Appreciation Thread

[ThabeetDown]

The Wrench was the MVP today. That is all.

 

[NutmegDog]

Absolutely clutch. Wish he could've gone against the Spartans.

 

[MDHuskFan]

Hurley postgame. He isn’t our best player, but he’s arguably our most important player

 

[SaeHusky]

Love everything about Whaley

[Woodson]

Onions! Stepped up big time with Cole

 

[GHSWolverines]

At work

 

[awfuldan]

The 3 three-pointers he made were all so massive. Great time to finally hit a couple jump shots.

Incredible performance, especially coming off that scary health episode. Love this kid.

The only joy gleamed from that atrocity came from Whaley. Thank God he came back and that game is over.

Cole did great work today, he really did.

Whaley should be in the Husky Ring of Honor just for coming back this year....he is the backbone.

@tcf15 or anyone else...I need that gif of Whaley beating the crap out of the base of the basketball hoop.

Without Whaley today, we are toast. Not sure why we don't let him shoot more, but we need to.

Yup. And the fact a flagrant foul wasn't called there (defender shoving a player in the back going up for a dunk) just goes to show how incompetent those refs were today. It doesn't matter how hard he shoved him. It was the fact he shoved him at all.

I think Hurley and the rest of the team want him to shoot more

Clearly what we saw from Whaley was a mirage and he has actually worked on his shot. His shot looked nice even on his miss. He needs to shoot more from the outside as he is normally wide open there. Hopefully Sanogo can actually pass out to one once and awhile when defenders collapse. lol!

[HooperScooper]

I have to admit I yelled, "Noooooo!!!," both times he shot those threes. Luckily he didn't listen to me!

 

[uchusky32]

Really happy for him. Plays hard. 3 looks like it shouldn't go in but I'll take it. Misses some bunnies but has played to his potential.

 

[jdb50]

People need to go back to his freshman year where he barely played. And then his soph. year which was Hurley's first and he did not see much floor time till the end of the season but showed that he could be effective. Cole kept us in the game today and Isaiah won it. Good for him!

 

[Huskybass]

Whaley has come so far. He was huge today in obvious ways and things that don't make the stat sheet. Major props.

That sums it up. I have zero doubts we beat MSU if Whaley played.

If you heard someone yelling “Wrench!!!” towards the end of the game, that was me.

[I also yelled that the short ref was unhappy when we finally got a call in our favor. It was dead quiet and he definitely heard me and looked down].

 

[Huskyforlife]

Woulda beaten MSU if he played.

 

[TheChamps990411]

Can you guys believe i had some back and forths with several people on this board because they thought Akok should be starting over Whaley?

 

[TheChamps990411]

Woulda beaten MSU if he played.

The refs say hello!

How do your wife and daughter accept that?

My wife didn’t come to any of the games. Me and one daughter each day. Every one of them did me proud, including creative and loud ref taunts, all of which were well-deserved.
