Wichita State vs Oklahoma Pre-Game Discussion

[WuDrWu]

I am thinking if he gets more than 9, somebody gonna hafta run steps

If Austin goes off on us, you are going to want to pay attention to our bench because **** gunna be lit.


And for the record, I'm a BIG AR fan, and I hope he has a spectacularly successful career at OU and beyond. And I hope we win by 50.

[Shox The Revenant]

I'm absolutely fine, by the way, with AR scoring 35 points against us -- IN A LOSS. Just win baby.

JB and Dex will take turns on him. Might see TE a possession or two as well.

Has a transfer generated this much discussion since Benedict Dreiling?

If the WSU coaches and players make this about WSU vs Austin Reaves as many fans seem to be I don't thing the outcome will be very good. But I don't think that is likely to be the case. I expect Coach Marshall will make sure the Shocks understand they are taking on a good Oklahoma team which happens to have Austin Reaves as a key component. On OU's last game against North Texas in Denton they edged the Mean Green 82-80.with their starters scoring 80 of their 82 points.

6-7 Senior froward Kristian Doolittle led the Sooners in that game with 28 points on 11-15 shooting including 3-3 on treys and 3-5 from the line plus 7 rebounds and 3 steals. Reaves contributed 22 points but was only 4-12 from the field including 2-6 on treys but made his living at the free throw line hitting 12-14 he also grabbed 6 rebounds but only had 1 assist. Brady Manek a 6-9 junior forward scored 16 points on 6-11 (1-4) from the field and 3-4 from the line and led the Sooners with 8 rebounds. De'vion Harman, a 6-1 freshman guard 11 points on 4-9 (2-5) shooting and 1-2 from the line. The 5th starter, Jamal Bieniemy, chipped in 3 points. OU's starters played 166 minutes in this game.

By comparison the Shocker starters in their 80-61 win and Oklahoma scored 60 of the Shocker's 80 points and played a total of 119 minutes.

I don't care if the Shockers shut down Doolittle, Reaves or Manek or if they slow all 3 of them down are some combination thereof as long as the Shocks win the game and don't let someone else go off on them..

The only thing I did not like about the Shocker's win over Oklahoma State was the lack of production in the last 5 minutes of both halves when they only manged to put a total of 6 points on the board. Hopefully, the Shocks keep the peddle to the metal from start to finish against OU.

The Shocks appear to have a clear advantage in size and depth against the Sooners. Hopefully, they can use both of those to their benefit.

Brady Manek is one ugly SOB

My vote hinges on whether or not Maggie will be in attendance.

HCGM will make sure that Austin does not get his.

He already did that, or so the rumors go...

My vote hinges on whether or not Maggie will be in attendance.

Maybe she’ll be doing the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet from the upper deck. “Wherefore art thou Austi....err Romeo?

[DUShock]

Of course Fever went there.

Go Shocks!

ZING!!

Honestly, I doubt the players think about Austin at all, other than as the leading scorer to shut down. The only player who was around when he was last here was Asbjorn.
