Bars 77 v. Blue Birds 65

[Ricardo del Rio]

I watched most of the game.

The Bars are going to be a handful this season.

The Bars are definitely, at least in this game, not an inside-out team. They are perimeter and dribble penetration oriented.

They have two guards, who will be trouble for the Shocks. A black guy, who wears #0 is very quick and a very good penetrator. In this game, he shot well. The other guard is a white guy and he wears #55. He is a wiry guy and an excellent ball handler. While he may not appear to be a good penetrator, he does have some deceptive moves and takes it to the basket effectively.

Tonight, Weems scored about 30.

Scoring:

Weems - 31
#0 Downing - 26
#55 Bizoukas - 5

If the conference champion has less than 3 losses, I will be most surprised. Four losses will not surprise me at all.

Now if we can just beat them on Sat!

This game actually surprised me. I always thought the bears were good, but I thought the only team to be better than Creighton was Wichita State. I guess Kyle Weems can still bring it with the best of them.

[Kung Wu]

That game is very possibly the difference between us winning the conf. championship outright and tying. Time will tell!!!

[Aargh]

I think the returning Valley POY was a little miffed that the newbie up in Omaha was getting all the press this year. Weems had 29, but he was 11/22 to get that. DMac had 19 on 8/18 in 37 minutes.

Downing was the difference for MSU in this game 26 points on 11/14 in 37 minutes.

Playing guys 37 minutes at this stage of the season could be a problem around February or March.

[moshock]

I'm pretty sure that this was Downing's first start of the season. Scheer has been starting and struggling. MSU will be tough but they don't have an answer for our rebounding and GS.

[shoxlax]

Right now, MSU is the early favorite to win the conference. They own a road win against the preseason pick.

If you thought Cuonzo ball was grab and hold wait till you see the Lusk project.

In light of the Xavier-Cincy brawl, this probably isn't politically correct, but I wish someone would pop Weems in the suck hole. Too bad we can't suit up the Thunder enforcer that one punched that clown last night.

CU had trouble with MSU's zone

[Capitol Shock II]

This is what happened at the beginning of last season. Missouri state eaked out a few close victories to start the season and it became the difference maker for the year. Every game makes a difference in conference play.

[shock]

MSU has Bizoukas?! We're screwed! All we have are some Cotton Rags in a Hall and a really tall White guy with something that rhymes with curry. We won't stand a chance until next year when our Vleet of foot Baker can cook something up to Derail this train that is MSU. The town Marshall in charge of this ingenious Plan has to be careful not to jump the train into the tree with the Hawkins it though.

:O

That may have been the only game ever that I was actually rooting for Weems. I think we will be surprised at how important that specific loss is for CU.

LMAO!! Fortunately our engineering school is versed in Demetric system and Will help us right the sinking Wessel. Then ol' MSU will take an Orupke in their pants.

I respect Weems, I'll never root for him.

Haha, well only because it was in our best interest. I do feel a little dirty now, I better hit the shower.

[shox1989]

Personally I think it was in our best interest if Creighton and Indiana State would have won tonight. But I can't get too upset with CU losing (although I don't like seeing Kyle Weems win either). Yuck.
