      Appears based on what I’m seeing from GoShockers that Sunday’s game is sold-out already. Also only 60 tickets left on StubHub, when some of the other games this season have had 800-1200 at this point. This all deserves a big pat on the back for one of the best fan-bases in the country.

        We will by 17-25, and everybody gets in on the fun. Abilene Christian has some nice players, but not enough horses to keep it going for 40 minutes. Against our unrelenting pressure, this spells Doom for them.

          They may be motivated, but they're still rated in the 264-265 range on KenPom/Torvik, and their best win is over KP #247 Nicholls State, with a loss to KP #240 Drexel.

          They allow opponents to shoot 54.9% from 2 point range (ranked 315th in the country), so our bigs should have a field day. This is a game where Midtgaard can play and help quite a bit.

            This team doesn’t belong on the court with us. Of course, don’t look ahead...100 percent focus on the task at hand. WSU 20+

              Another game where the tickets scanned may lag tickets sold by a significant margin considering the opponent and the weather forecast. Temps in the high 30's and winds of 15 to 25 mph will make the walk to and from the arena a bit on the chilly side. We'll see.

              No doubt those that do show up will represent well as they always do.

                  Difference for me between being in the Valley and the American. When in the Valley the out of conference schedule was the highlight, now I just want to get it over to get to the conference play.

                    Yup amazing the difference ... i mean compare these two schedules coming up. First is WSU sitting at 10-1 ... 1-1 Q1 and 3-0 Q2. With TWELVE Q1/Q2 opportunities left, including 5 Q1 (at least assuming others don't move up) ...

                    And now look at 9-1 UNI (1-1 Q1, 1-0 Q2). Only TWO Q2 games left (no Q1) .... the rest are Q3 and Q4 ....

                      That is a stark difference. After the noncon in the valley, it is a walk through the minefield. Nothing really to be gained.

                      Nice work Stickboy.

                          lol at the q1 opportunities for UNI. And they have 1 Q1 win altogether?

                          Read the UNI board and they're (of course) confident in an at-large bid even if they lose 4 conference games. Do they not understand that 4 Valley losses are all bad losses? In 2017, we were sweating it at 17-1 as a name program with a thousand times more pedigree than them and they think they're getting in with FOUR conference losses? LOL.

                          If they cruise through Valley tournament, their ceiling is about an 11 seed. Life of the obscure mid-major.

                            Yup, even if you go through the whole thing with 2 losses .... that means 1. You didn't get either of your Q2 wins .... OR you got your Q2 wins but dropped 2 Q3/Q4 games .... Neither of those are positive outcomes lol.

                              Yup ... going 18-0 through conference gives them a grand total of.... 1-1 Q1 and 3-0 Q2 .... 30+ games ... only 5 that mattered ...

                              Toss in the fact that they scheduled 2 D2 or less games ....
