Here's the deal. We have the Hurricanes from Tulsa blowing into here from the South 40 with payback and vengeance on their minds. We dodged their bullets with a "cut-em slim your bound to win" mentality at their barn 72-69. In that game, CF and LS led us with 16 points apiece and Duff had 10 points and 9 rebounds. For Tulsa in that game, Sterling Taplin was on fire with 26 points, Corey Henderson had 14, and Junior Etou had 12. We did out-rebound Tulsa by 12 but our shooting was cold and we were held to 12 team assists but also committed 11 turnovers. Tulsa is 11-9 and 4-4 and we dare not take this win for granted. I think when we do win this one, we will be around 69-2 at home? Now That is beyond impressive and explains again why the big boys outside the AAC avoid us like a bad habit. Tulsa's last game was a 64-51 win over Memphis.
The Shocks enter this game 16-4 and 6-2. This win would put us at 7-2 halfway home in the AAC with tougher games to face in round 2 in the AAC. Aunt Gertrude use to say "basketball is only a game." However, on this fine SN forum, 'It's only a game as long as our beloved Shocks keep winning". Coach Marshall was restless with a twist of livid at times in the first half tonight. 3G justifying us losing 2 games in a row is like trying to pull hens teeth. Shaq, Austin, and Willis did some nice things tonight. I'm hoping Shaq is okay because we need a healthy squad down the stretch and we are a much better team when Shaq is on like tonight. We win this game by 11. Sleep well tonight Shocker fans. The Shocks started a new winning streak with more to follow.
WSU-----77
Tulsa-----66
