  • WSU Versus Arkansas State Predictions and Pregame Discussions

    Here's the deal. The OU home loss was a tough pill to swallow. Here on SN, we hate losses and they are a slow burn. Even so, we will probably lose around 5-7 games before it is all said and done so I try not to take it personal. Why? I was never on a team ranked 3rd in the Country at anything. Thus, just as we get back in the ring in life after setbacks, our beloved Shocks will regroup, correct issues, and get back to our winning ways. We have 2 more home games to play before facing UConn in a tough road conference game.

    It has been said that the red wolves are becoming extinct. GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!! The last I checked the Canis Rufus were 3-6 this Season and our hyena Shocks don't take losing as a laughing matter. The wolves play in the Sun Belt Conference and picked 8th by Street and Smith and Lindy's but did have a record of 20-12 overall last Season. They are led by D. Stevens, T. Cockfield, Rashad Lindsey, and T. Bruce and coached by Mike Balado. Who wins in a hardwood cage match with red wolves versus angry hyenas? The Shocks will win by 25.

    Games like this need to show signs of improvement as the Shocks regroup on both sides of the hardwood. Look for our DeFense to discombobulate the red foxes gameplans that would resemble a covey of banty roosters in a windy hailstorm. Never get caught in the hen house when hyenas are showing their teeth because not even the dentists will have anything to do with them or even offer to clean their sharp teen that can take a chunk of flesh out of their foes.. In hopes the Shocks get the ball more inside to our bigs and our good shooters hit shots at the rate expected from this moment springing forward. Look for Austin Reaves to score 14, LS-22, and Shaq gets a double double.

    The Werewolves Of Jonesboro--65

    The Shockers of Wichita State--90

        I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say in the first half we're going to struggle, though we'll lead most of the way. We'll play flat and uninspired. In the second half, we turn it up a notch and blow them out. Their best player will have a career game, though.

        Just a wild guess...

          Your obsession with SHJ is creepy. He's not a off-the-bench All-American, but he's a serviceable back-up playing in his first year in the Marshall system. Get the **** over it.

          Oh, and if we only beat Arkansas State by 15, then we have issues.

            We could win by 30, or we could not.

              Arkansas State is coming in off a buzzer-beating win last night. Check out this crazy last 30 seconds:

                I'm going to hold Gregg Marshall to his comments about using this game to fix our defensive struggles. How about we not let this team score 60?

                  I know we have to schedule games like this, but the timing sucks. We'll win by 30, look like world beaters and everyone will think the Shox have righted the ship and everything is right in the world again. Can we just have a UCONN prediction thread started because these next two games will be laughers.

                    Your comment sucks. This is a common theme whenever we don't play a Top 20 opponent. It is pure absolute idiocy to think everything will be rosy every game and every week.

                    Oklahoma State just defeated the #19 ranked FSU. OU will probably be ranked this week. SDSU went to double overtime at Colorado. We have a HUGE TARGET on our backs (a #3 or #6 or this week #10 or whatever high ranking we will have this week). Every team we play will give us their BEST shot. I don't care if it's FGCU, UCONN, or Houston. We have to learn to be at our best every game and that's not easy to do. Get behind the team all games, and hopefully watch the team continue to grow. This is a process and the destination is to grow every week and be at our best, come March. It won't be an upward trajectory without an occasional dip.

                      I think FGCU has a chance of being a decent game through 30 minutes.

                          Your posting average increases when we lose. Weird.

                          And your posting IQ gets worse. Way worse.
