Shockers opened as 1.5 point favorites, then moved to 2.0 favorities.

This game is a good test for our guards. Bouknight is really good. Our big guys should have an advantage so long as they can stay on the court.

You said the magic words. " If they can stay on the Court" Time for JE, MU, IPBC and AM to earn their keep. No excuses get it done.

How does Coach Hurley think his team matches up to the #23 Shockers?

Warning....his excitement is contagious.

Breakfast for Koreans = 66

Breakfast of Champions = 71

GO SHOCKERS!!!

I'm half Korean but it's all good, I'm not a Democrat.

They’re not coming home after the game. They’re bussing to Philadelphia afterward.

Yikes! Even worse to share a bus ride from Connecticut to Philly with Stevenson after a loss.!

Anyone hear about this?

"Among that group is Dexter Dennis, a talented wing who against Memphis played just his second game back from a head injury sustained in December. Dennis came off the bench Thursday to grab a team-high eight rebounds, four of which were offensive."

This man is the polar opposite of 3G. No voice inflection at all. He HAS to be more lively in the locker room I would think.

Hurley: "they grind you up with their depth". Hopefully that will be the case... but WSU is still a very young team playing on the road at 11AM on a Sunday. Thinking that if WSU loses here then they go on to beat Temple.

If we go inside.

If we go inside, I just hope they recognize that the bad guys are even better at swatting away shots than the Tigers. Not sure we can see lightning strike twice and get away with it. Surviving 9 blocks a game two games in a row would be quite a feat though.

UConn lost one of their best players yesterday

Damn

Losing Polley is a very significant loss for UConn. 6-9 starting forward and UConn's best 3-point shooter and their 2nd best free throw shooter.

[Bluzrover]

I’m never a fan of our foes losing players, especially due to injury. I want our guys to beat their guys at full strength. It’s just one reason I was disappointed in the whole Wiseman saga.

Best of luck to Polley and here’s to a speedy and full recovery for the young man.
