Someone is going to have to educate me on how to attach files. SB - HELP!!!

I could see the Shocks easily going 1-5 over their remaining 6 Valley games. 0-6 is not beyond the realm. That would put them at 7-14 or 6-15 in Valley play and, in all likelihood, in the bottom 3 of the Valley.

If your an optimist perhaps, if they play and pitch really well, they might be able to go 3-3 over those 6 games to finish at 9-12. That's about as good as I see them doing.

5/4 Standings

Wow. 11 games below .500. Likely to finish at least 15-17 games below .500 (9 under in the league). There isn't much to engender optimism.

Glad I didn't waste any money on the MVC tournament add-on tickets.

I think 3-3 is doable. I had us 2-1 vs. Evansville and 1-2 at DBU. Of course we could just as easily end up 1-5 in a worst case scenario. I just don't think Evansville is that good but I also realize we can vary from pretty good to pretty bad based on how we play.

Either way I think we are looking at 5th or 6th place finish. I am really interested to see how this team finishes. We had a nice 4 game win streak sweeping New Mexico (who has now lost 7 in a row) and Oklahoma (who was overrated to be ranked when we played them), and then lost 3 games to a really good team this weekend. If we go 4-4 over our last 8 and 2-2 in the MVC tournament I will feel decent about how we finished the season. Anything less and I will still have a lot of concerns going into next year.

[1972Shocker]

Regardless of how we finish this year there will be plenty of issues and concerns heading into next year. The draft status of Daniel Kihle, Ryan Tinkham Sam Hilliard, Chase Rader and John Hayes and perhaps even Isaac Anderson and Willie Schwanke will have a big impact on the prospects for next year. Until we know how the draft comes out both regarding those guys and the incoming recruiting class it is very difficult to build expectations.

Fevs,

Just got to have faith.

Still have faith?

Hilliard

I'm pretty sure I heard one of the coaches on the radio or quoted in the paper the other day say that Hilliard plans to return next season. I'm sure we'll be able to get that verified in the next month or so.

Around the middle of July IIRC.

Any idea if when the Shox might play Wednesday? Do they do start times based on seed like basketball? Or do they base times on maximizing butts in seats?

The latter.

The Shox will play in the feature game on Wednesday night and as long as they keep winning will continue to do so. When they lose, then it's a crapshoot.
