    WSU Versus Newman (Exh.) Predictions and Pregame Discussions

    Here's the deal. This Exhibition game will be a charity game toward the National Hurricane Relief Fund which is a great cause. We play Newman at 7-p.m. this coming Monday Night at home. R.J. Allen and his Jets play in the Heartland Conference in the NCAA Div.2 and had a record of 9-19 last Season. I wish the very best for former Coach Mark Potter.

    The Shocks looked good out of the gate and the first half tonight but let's just say Coach Marshall was not delighted of their showing in the second half. This will be addressed and fine tuned as the Shocks get ready to go live this coming Friday. Will L.S. play? Stay tuned. Look for Shaq and Willis to lead the bigs. SHJ and Frankamp looked tough at times tonight as Austin and Malone gave them some back-up minutes. Let's just hope LS and MM are healthy and ready to go full throttle by 2nd Semester. Once we get everybody healthy, we look to be every bit as good as projected.

    Have you ever tried to play a violin with loosey goosey strings? I know I haven't, but I reckon it would be similar to facing this fine-tuned, parsimonious Shocker Defense which opponents find that scoring is as problematic and painful as pulling hens teeth. Let's hope our entry passes are crisper and accurate to our bigs in this game because that looked vulnerable tonight. That's what Exhibition games are for is to identify issues and begin the process of correcting them.

    Allen and The Jets------------------49

    Marshall Law and the Shocks--100
    Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

      Semajae has another good game. Passing improves. The big Dane gets a dunk. Lots of money raised for charity in a 35 pt win.

        The charity game is Monday. This was the usual exhibition, thus part of the season ticket package.

          And I made predictions under the game for Monday, the charity game...?

            I took that to be his prediction for the Newman game. Not a comment on the HSU game.

              Right. The thread titles not being at the bottom of the page on this new format and me going to the first "unread post" at the bottom, I forgot that I was on the Newman thread and not still on the Henderson game thread. My bad.

                We're going to learn a lot about Midtgaard. I'm confident there were an abundance of "teachable moments" in the game film reviews. AM's reaction to that much "teaching" in a short time frame will give us a lot if insight into his demeanor and attitude. It can be hard for casual observers to notice the difference between playing to "not make mistakes" or playing to possibly still make some while working hard to make fewer.

                From the reports out of practice and what I saw at Madness, I have the impression that AM tries hard, takes criticism in a positive manner, but all the things he has to learn are challenging. Looking at his game and how he moves, I think he can be quicker than he's shown to this point. He's going to need to be able to defend on the perimeter and still get back to the rim in a hurry. I think he can do that, but it will take a few more repetitions than he will have by Monday. Probably a few more repetitions than he will have by a Monday in November of 2018.

                The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.

                          We are gonna drive over tonight, but expect the same thing, a beat-down in the first half, and a sloppy, unwatchable second half.

                            I'm not seeing this game listed on TV, anybody know if it'll be available and just isn't listed?

                              Cox cable list it on 2022 (22) tonight at 7-p.m. and I found this on the GoShocker.com site.
