WSU @ SIU PREGAME PREDICTIONS AND THREAD

[Shockair]

Believe it or not I do know how to read the line but on my computer it has the -11 next to SIU's name which means they are the favorite. It also shows Georgia Tech as 11.5 favorites over Duke which I find hard to believe also.

Now here they have it right. I can sleep tonight now.

It's jacked up on my iPad too, but if you drill in it's clear. By drill in I mean click on Wichita State. I can call my banker back and tell them I don't need the second mortgage on my home by tomorrow morning anymore.

That line has me intrigued. Giving 11 seems like a lot on the road against a confident squad coming off 2 big wins that is finally playing with a full deck. I predict the ugly dogs will muck this one up pretty good leading to a low scoring game. I'm very much tempted to call my coworker who will be watching the game in Vegas. Am I seeing this wrong? Someone tell me why I shouldn't make that call.

I don't have a good feeling about this one. Lowery will have a good game plan against Marshall and his guys have quite a bit of confidence and I am sure will be focused. Plus, Marshall seems to get outcoached more in conference than he does out of conference. SIU will execute their gameplan to slow us down and get in the passing lanes which will cause our guys to just jack up jump shots. That is how we lose.

SIU - 64
WSU - 59

[WstateU]

Shockers are minus 11. That means we are FAVORED by 11.

Takashi: I think I've got a frush.
Booger: What the *uck's a frush?
Takashi: [showing his royal flush] A *frush*.
Booger: [showing his cards] Oh, well I've got two sevens and two sevens beats a frush.
Takashi: Oh, thank you.

That is interesting and he is right take WSU out of the fast break game and we struggle. This will be a game that gives us fits, but I think we still win and experience against a team that plays SIU's style is great in the long run for the team.

10 would surprise me. Winning by 16 or losing the game would not surprise me.

Is this the Season that we finally sweep these dawgs? Stay tuned."

Marshall's message has been sent. Kyles puts on a show tonight, Murry screws his head on straight and Marshall keeps the play calls and substitutions right.

Shox 78
SIU 64

We swept them in 09-10

Thanks ABC. Thought we would defeat them last Season too, and that loss left a mark.Today, a road win is of essence and not every Valley team will beat The Aces and SIU on the road in the Valley. Game time draweth nigh.

[KC Shox]

They haven't held any MVC opponent to less than 65, so I doubt very seriously they will hold us in the 50's. SIU won't beat us, it it happens, then we beat ourselves (which we are fully capable of doing). That said, we win by 11 and should be more but we let them crawl back in the game at the end.

[another shocker]

'Just not confident in Murry and Kyles handling the basketball in a half court grind.. not at all. Ragland, yes.. everybody else, no.

If I were a betting man I would take SIU and the 11 points like that *snap*.
