WSU @ Davidson- Bracketbuster Matchup

[Kung Wu]

Remember DK, it is Davidson not David's son.

Classic!

Edit: (oops I stand corrected)

Focus on the fooking game.

Go Shox!

Dayton, not Davidson, won the NIT in 2010.


EDIT: Looks like someone beat me to it. My bad.

[Shock Top]

I feel people are really too worried about this game. I am not saying Davidson is bad, but WSU is just THAT good right now.

Everyone was so worried we were going to let MSU sneak out a win on us, and look how that turned out. We gave them their biggest MVC loss this season.

Just buckle up and enjoy the ride. We aren't going to let Davidson, or anyone else, get in our way until the NCAA tourney.

[pinstripers]

Yeah, but Davidson is better that SWOMO.

Not true. The fact is, that Davidson is in our way. As is Illinois State. As is Drake. As is whoever we play in St. Louis.

What we need to do is to move them out of our way. One-by-one. What a great opportunity the Shocks have created for themselves. Time to grab the brass ring Shocks.

Fine.

People were also worried about UNI after the big Creighton win. We rolled them by 25.

People were worried about CU on the road on national TV. We smashed them on their own court if front of the eyes of everyone.

If we expect the media to buy into our hype, I suggest all our fans should too.

All I mean by this is we aren't going to let anyone scare us or say they are better then us. Of course we still have to go out there and win 'em, but no one left can honestly say they have the upper hand against us.

Sorry, @SHURTZtheHERTZ but I just couldn't resist the setup.

[1972Shocker]

That I agree with. But the Shocks still have to walk the walk. Again just ask Creighton what can happen before you know what hit you.

No worries. Pretty clever actually.

I guess I'm not going to convince anyone on here to buy into the "hype" we've been begging and complaining about.

Which is it?

1) Are we that good and we want the "hype" because we believe it

2) We really aren't that good and just like to complain about not getting talked about for the sake of it

How about - Davidson is a quality opponent that deserves respect and that hype needs to be left on the websites. I believe that our team will take the same mentality into Davidson that they took into Omaha, but we expect a tough, close game...

[1972Shocker]

I don't care that much about hype for something that may or may not happen.

I am very happy about the recognition for what we have actually acheived so far this year and I am thrilled that the Shocks have set themselves up with a great opportunity to finish the season with a bang.

Unfortunately, we have let other opportunities slip through our hands with good teams and I guess I am just conditioned not to count my chickens before they're fried. Hope, the Shocks have their frying pans and will be cooking with high heat tomorrow.

[Shock Top]

I respect that. I'm just sick of people saying were are the greatest thing since slice bread six days a week, then before a game talk about how we will be lucky to win. I just people will stick with one or the other is all.

The important thing is that one way or the other we are all 100% behind the Shocks. Some may claim to be 110% behind the Shocks but in reality you can't be more than 100%.

If Andy Katz still thinks WSU is anywhere near the bubble, he needs to get his head examined. The Davidson game is about trying to get a protected seed, not trying to stay away from the bubble.

Andy Katz has specifically said we are in. In fact, he has said Creighton is at more risk than us. We are nowhere near the bubble Andy's view.... listen to the video embedded in the link below...
