        I was guessing 6.5. It should be higher but the Wichita name holds cache with bettors for some reason. I feel like fading them could be very profitable this year.

          In any search for a good meme, you are invariably going to filter through a lot of bad suggestions / pictures / what have you....and I'm trying NOT to think about what other search results returned from your query.

            If you're referring to mine, I actually was looking specifically for the Jim Carrey bit, as that is what popped into mind. Had I gone down the rabbit hole you speak of, it would have been a case of:

              The Spiders are always well coached. We enter their gym with that disadvantage. We won't have a size advantage (like we'd know how to use it). Richmond starts experienced upper classmen. They move the ball well and defend. They are at home. WSU is still a great notch in their belt. We have a long, athletic group of young men in search of direction. I would be happy to get out of there with some sort of moral victory. A win would be great! But I don't see it happening...

                Plus Richmond just lost by 2 in overtime to Charleston.

                No doubt they will be even more focused.........hoo-freaking-ray :eyeroll:

                            His stats, in this small sample size, is:

                            7.7 pts, 4 rebs, 3.7 assists, 1.3 blocks, 2 turnovers

                            Shooting 53.3% FG, 33.3% 3pt, 83.3% FT


                            Again, small sample size on the year with only 3 games of Data and he did most of his damage during an OT loss to Charleston. So no doubt these stats are a little inflated for now.

                            Never hurts though and I will take all the help the Shockers can get lol.

                            Plus, Bigelow is actually averaging more points and rebounds than Grace. But it might hurt their depth some if nothing else. Who knows.

                              A lineup of 7 main +2 is now 6 +2 and only one big that plays listed over 6'7" (and I think that's generous).

                              Pohto and a limited Ballard (who could struggle with Quinn's post moves potentially) should prove tough to deal with and Rojas should be able to limit their big who is likely to wear down if forced to pick up more than his 20 or so MPG (likely). If our bigs will run the court, I know CP3 will find them (looking at you Isaac, James, Gus, Kenny, Q). Bust tail and you will be rewarded.

                              Hope the kid isn't hurt bad and gets healthy soon, but this is certainly good for us.
