WSU Versus Oklahoma State Predictions and Pregame Disussions
I'm guessing this is the jump-start game OSU has circled on the calendar. Totally look for maximum effort on their part. They win this and they can claim a "watch out for us" demeanor heading into their Big-12 schedule. They smoked us last year at our place. We better be well prepared cause I'm also assuming they will have a nice walk-up crowd that's hungry for a BIG WIN.
Go Shocks!!!

The Shockers continue to prepare for their AAC debut with a 7-1 SU run through their first eight nonconference matchups.

The Cowboys are putting up an average of 80.4 PPG behind a foursome of players averaging at least 10 points, but their real strength has been at the other end of the court with a defensive effort that is holding opposing teams to 62.3 PPG.

Haynes-Jones warming up. He's been in and out of practice since not playing Tuesday. Not sure how much he will play today. If he is healthy, his driving could be helpful.
