Here's the deal. The VCU victory made the price of poker go up, up and away. Not so fast. Yes, we will win 20 plus games. Will we lose a game or two along the way we shouldn't though with 8 new players? Dunno, too early to tell. However, we have 12 players I really like. In the past, VCU beat us twice until this group of Shocks stunned them, humbled them, and then silenced them when they least expected it, and did so in their own House. Can ya dig it? Groovy!!!
Even so, our beloved Shocks will win this game but that is not enough. We need to keep improving, establish our inside game, knowing the outside game will follow. We need to D up without fouling much, knowing this quality depth could result in our best defensive Shocker team in many many black and yellow moons. We must play strong in the 2nd half, not just the first half no matter who we play. That way, when teams' such as DePaul come out to play, we will be ready to rock and roll. In this game, EO will get 10 rebounds and 3 blocks, RB will rain down 3-5 treys and become a heartbreaker Baker, Early will not be late but will produce all over the place, and MA and FVV will combine for 7-10 assists, 1-2 turnovers, at 3-5 steals. Hope we see more and more of Nick and CL.
