2024-25 Expectations for Shocker Basketball – “Put Up or Shut Up Season Kickoff Ed."

I believe we've seen two outlier games in a row. Shox are probably not as bad as they looked against Monmouth and not as good as they looked against St. Louis.

Very good post

How much did the 'W" vs. Saint Louis move the needle with the Warren Nolan methodology...

Preseason 0-0: 17-12, RPI 141
1st Game 1-0: 20-9, RPI 86
2nd Game 2-0; 22-7, RPI 57
3rd Game 3-0; 22-7, RPI 60
4th Game 4-0; 22-7, RPI 64
5th Game, 5-0; 23-6, RPI 56

That's approaching bubble territory.

Couldn't agree more. Especially when considering that Avila didn't suit up against the Shocks, and that the Shocks couldn't possibly look as bad ever again as they did against Monmouth (unless QB doesn't suit up?).

The Minnesota game is going to tell us quite a bit.
