Wichita State (8-1) at DePaul (7-2) Game Discussion: Dec 14 (Sat)

Go Shox! This will be a tough game. I watched DePaul play last night. DePaul is streaky and their big man can shoot the 3. This will mean Quincy will spend time out of the paint on defense, therefore opening up the lane for drives, or drives and dish for open 3s when our defense collapses in to cover the drive. Need to switch everything on the perimeter and/or find a way to get their big man in early foul trouble.

I would keep Q in the lane and just switch out and let the others guard him. As long as you stay tight and keep him uncomfortable it will make it difficult to get an open look.

Q staying closer to the basket would be ideal. Switching will be paramount.

100%. Q outside is much less effective and will almost certainly get him in early foul trouble. Stay in the paint big man!

Oh it's AT Depoop? Well that explains the oddsmaking. Our rosters as a whole are probably interchangeable (and that's historically sad). The rest of it comes down to respect for the coach I would presume. Paul Mills? *crickets* Now look at what Google just pulled up for me on 'Poop: "Former BIG Priest Coach of the Year, Chris Holtmann, has been named as the next head coach for DePaul men's basketball."

So yeah, I'm guessing they should be favored and we're likely going to lose (reverse jinx).

I kind of agree as they are coming off a tough loss and we are coming off perhaps our best offensive game. I sense a let down on our part. 79- 72 Depaul

Q: Good morning WuOracle, for the WuShock Reaper has returned.
A: Good morning! It sounds like you’re ready to fully embrace the Wichita State spirit. The WuShock Reaper is back and ready to cheer on the Shockers! Let’s hope for an exciting season ahead. Are you planning to catch the game this weekend?

Q: I sure am, who do you think will win and what is your prediction?
A: Based on current form and stats, I think Wichita State has a slight edge in this matchup. They’ve been performing consistently well this season. My prediction would be Wichita State 75 - DePaul 70. Wichita State’s strong defense and key players like Justin Hill could make the difference in a close game. However, DePaul has shown resilience and could certainly pull off a win if they capitalize on their opportunities.

Q: Thank you.
A: You’re welcome! Enjoy the game this weekend, and let’s hope for an exciting match. If you have any more questions or need anything else, feel free to ask. Go Shockers!

I didn't realize that I've been getting screwed. I've been paying $2 for NAIA games this year, and that's with my senior discount applied.
