Drive By Thoughts

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

At the beginning of the year, 16-3, 4-2, a projected 6 or 7 seed would have thrilled 99% of this board.
It is a good day to be a Kansan whose favorite team doesn't reside in the NE part of the state.
Fred VanVleet is incredible and I will never be an NBA scout.
Watching Lynn walk down from the (6th?) row, grab a drink from the players' cooler, and walk right back up into the stands, will never not be funny.

Go Shox!

Happy with our record but, as of right now, I don't believe we even belong in the top 50. Just being honest. Not
sure today's team can get to the dance let alone win a game if we do. I did predict 24 W's at the start of the
season but am really second guessing now

My problem is that neither Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, or VCU are Q1 games right now.

You don't think we belong in the Top 50? What are you on?

ok now that Jamar is back where's Trop?

[Shocker1976]

Welcome back Jamar, look forward to reading your posts (especially regards Shocker participation in the Big Dance).

I predicted 24 wins for the season and raised my prediction to 27 pre Shocker losses to Temple and Houston. Shocker win against USF was encouraging but not persuasive the Shockers will reach 27 regular season wins. Unlike some posters, I do think the Shockers can win a couple of games in the Dance if they get invited.

Don't have a clue why the Shockers have entered a mid-season swoon but confident they will return to the team play they exhibited against Memphis.

Saw the title Drive By and thought the KU team was up to their next shenanigans!

I think you are projecting your "fears" - which may or may not come to pass.

As of today WSU is 30th in NET
Q1 1-1
Q2 5-2
Q3 3-0
Q4 7-0

It would be nice if some of the Q2 wins becomes Q1 (which might). But there will be other opportunities (for better or for worse). No bad losses as of yet. If you start comparing that to other teams they will be competing with for at-large they definitely are an at-large team at this moment.

If you don't think WSU is a Top 50 team, I would recommend watching more non-WSU basketball games. Perspective is a powerful thing.

I said "as of right now". So tell me, how many top 50 teams would we have beaten the past couple weeks? We have
to play much better. If we do dance just who are we going to beat in the first round playing like we have been lately?
Were probably a 10-12 seed, maybe, and unless we improve dramatically it will be one and done. I'd love some crow so
bring it on Shocks.

at the beginning of the year, the non conf schedule looked really good. We beat teams that we thought were good (OU, OSU, VCU, etc.), that turned out to be mediocre to bad teams. We hadn't been tested on the road at all. We have to win some good games. We really need to win the next 3 (UCF, Tulsa and Cincy @ home). I don't think we can beat UH or Memphis, and prob not Cincy on the road. We drop a few more clunkers and we're a bubble team, but we gotta right the ship and win the next 3 games.

[Cdizzle]

Are we going to use every other teams worst 3 day stretch to determine if they are a Top 50 team as well?

How do you like your crow cooked? I'd gladly prepare it for you.

Well done and wash it down with some Makers or Eagle Rare & water
