Gregg Marshall has already ruled freshman guard Dexter Dennis (concussion) out for Wednesday's game against Oral Roberts. He said there's an outside chance he could play at VCU on Saturday, but it just depends on when he can clear concussion protocol.

[JVShocker]

From what I heard, he was pretty out of it the other day. My guess is, nope, not even a snowball's chance.

[Shox The Revenant]

TRAP GAME! With the VCU game coming up, and our last shot to add a relatively decent feather to the non-con cap, our boys will continue to play like we have against J-Ville and So Miss and struggle against a team we shouldn't. Or, we totally demolish ORU and go out to Virginia and get utterly destroyed by VCU.

WSU 61
ORU. 58

I think we will have a comfortable lead at halftime. Something like 41-28. ORU comes out
after halftime with more intensity on both ends. The young shockers knowing that they are
a much better team will relax on defense and settle for a late in the shot clock three attempt.
Sense they will be hurried shots probably make about 20% of them. Allowing ORU to make
a game the shockers should win by 20 or so a nail biter.

I predict a blowout

82-58

Last chance for any experimentation in my view but it probably won't happen. At the very least I'd like to
see AM get a four minute stretch in each half. I predict that in AAC play both JE and MU will encounter foul
problems and we are going to need a third defensive center and I give the edge on defense to AM. Would
like to see him get some more game experience. I'd also like to see us experiment with a couple bigs in
the lineup at the same time tonight playing MM at the small forward some. Again, all this because I think
we need some options going into conference play. Tonight we win 78-61

This team is just too young... Losing Landry hurt, but helps with future recruiting... Losing Austin Leaves just hurt as far as experience and talent... Teddy Allen waiver was a rollercoaster ride for the team... Yes no yes no... If we can ever mature in being a great second half team then watch out... Until then... Expect ups and downs

[Shocker Mama]

LOL — Austin Leaves. I see what you did there.

[Dave Stalwart]

I wonder how different this team is if we have Landry, Reaves and Teddy Allen all playing significant minutes. When you stop and think about that, maybe our team wasn’t that poorly managed and we just got hit with too much change all at once. 6-4 isn’t that bad given the circumstances.

[pie n eye]

Thank you.

I had us at 7-5 or 8-4 at best through non con. I had the La Tech and Providence games flipped and the VCU game a toss up; however they appear to be better than I thought and we appear to not be quite as far along.

I think we win fairly comfortably tonite. Jaime will have another big game. I rarely make predictions so this is my last one ever on here if I am wrong.

[wusphlash]

We could have been 9-1 at this point. We could have been 1-9 at this point. 6-4, for us, is kind of like kissing our sister. 7-4 not much better but 6-5 after ORU would be like kissing grandma without her teeth. I'm predicting a kiss from sis with a chance for a good looking cousin on Saturday. Happy Holidays.

[FadedCrown]

What kind of sick joke is this?
