DD inserts himself into the offense in a big way and goes for 20 along with 10 rebounds.

They have film on us now so the freshmen will not surprise them. Someone else will have a big game, maybe Erik.

[60Shock]

We hit 90 points and every player who isn't injured scores. .

[ShockerFever]

I see that Mary Johnson is back.

Lol

[shockrah]

Are we there yet?
*Oh, and my usual prediction, Shox by a lot!

[asiseeit]

We are going to have a well balanced offense all season so there will not be many games where one guy
scores north of 20. Will be looking at assist to turnovers from the perimeter players and rebounding. Not worried
much about our defense - it will always be solid. Shocks 84-62

I don't know how good Omaha is, but I have a sense that we will struggle a bit. At least early on. We are gonna miss JE a lot more than last game. We may still win by 20, but I don't think it's gonna feel as good as the exhibition. Don't get me wrong, I am very bullish with this team. But I just think it's gonna take a couple of real games for the newcomers to get their feet wet.

Having said that. If we come out looking like a well oiled machine...... Then I will be raising my expectations for the season.

I think my biggest goal I am looking for in each game is to avoid that one guy just going crazy and hitting everything on us. I can stand for a season where nobody gets their highlight reel quota against us.

On every CBB message board I've ever read, most fans are convinced their team makes an opposing player look like MJ 25 times a season.

Some of them are right. Most of them are not.
