Chaunce Jenkins breakout game incoming

Chaunce Jenkins breakout game incoming

I wouldn't mind seeing him get an opportunity to play the Point some.

[WuDrWu]

If not for this miracle, Norfolk would be 10-1. Yeah, Xavier ran them out of the building, but X is pretty damned good.

Hope the Play-by-Play or Color guy is ok?

[SB Shock]

KenPom has WSU as 18 point favorite.

KenPom has WSU as 18 point favorite.

Sounds way too high, but

From all reports, as well as what we have seen, he can hit shots. We need some shot makers on the court. The next four games should be a prime opportunity for Chaunce to earn minutes in the rotation going forward.

Yep. Outside of Xavier, they have played nobody, and that is being generous. However, the Shox could lose to anybody the way they played against the Kitties.

Right .. we still need to take them seriously .. just stating why KP has us as 18 pt favorites.

[ShockerFever]

KenPom has WSU as 18 point favorite.

Unless a major change in coaching philosophy and player adaptation is underway, I’d lay the entire west side of Wichita on Norfolk.

[WuTheOne]

If Etienne is going to take 20 shots again, I'd like to see more than 20 points on his stat line.

[pinstripers]

NOBODY is gonna give 18

[SubGod22]

If we're favored by 8+ I'd throw money down on Norfolk
