WSU versus Colorado Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[forevershockerfan]

Here's the deal. Colorado just missed the NIT Finals with us last Season. Their game with Alabama was close and could haved swayed either way. Tad Boyle is a solid Coach and will have them prepared. However, look for the Shocks to win this game.

WSU----- 70

ROCKIES--59

After what I've seen so far and what I know Colorado has lost, I will be SEVERELY disappointed with an L here. This would be a major turd drop and you can pretty much kiss goodbye any hope of an at-large this year. It sucks but that's the way it works now, unless of course we roll out another 25 in a row or something.

We go 1 and 2 in PR. Frontcourt inexperience against D1 comp and inconsistency + foul trouble + slow feet from our C will show up early.

For a pretty good rundown of what the Buffs put on the court, check out this thread:

The Buffs are not as young or lacking talent as you may have been led to believe. They've got a pretty salty lineup and we know Boyle is going to get every bit out of his team. Their post player is described as an "european-style" post. That will work with Stutz, but it will totally neutralize Orukpe if he has to play D 10' to 20' away from the basket. Hall is likely to be compromised away froim the hoop, too.

The Shox are going to have to have a good game to come out of this with a W. It's not going to be an easy game and I'm not expecting some 16-point stroll to the W.

WSU - 72
CU - 64

First test against a BCS school should prove enlightening. We win 74-69.

Shocking show of confidence.
