Looks like a Grinch is still among us.

The Shocks that played the first 3/4 of Kansas City game loses by 1+.
The Shocks that played K State win by 20+

It really does depend on who shows up. Jekyll or Hyde?

I bet there's some closet Friend's grads here. :)

The Bad: Kansas City, DePaul / Florida (not the loss, but the score), Monmouth (win but the score).

The Good: K-State / St. Louis (not the win, but the score).

A loss to Friends, even by 1 point, is totally unacceptable. We know the players have shown their positive ability and what their capability is. The rest is up to the coaching staff.

Don't look at me, that's not MY fault.

Good game to get the end of the bench some minutes. Those guys won't overlook ANYBODY! Starters might.

Give Bosnjak a lot of court time. Playing Ballard against Friends wouldn't be fair. Bosnjak should DOMINATE any post player Friedns can put on the floor.

If we don't see a lot of Pipkin I say we riot.

I played for a short time at Friends as some of you know, so I try to keep up at least a little bit.

They are probably at the best they have been in the last decade or so, and really well coached for the level they are at. Needless to say, that means we are still ~35 points better than them. That doesn’t mean we’ll win by 35, as last year I’d say we were 50 points better and only won by what, 30?

But it is a game that could actually be a little bit useful for us instead of being a total waste of time. Personally? I hope we win by 70. I would like to see a lot of Bamba, for the sole reason that if he is ever going to be near a D1 player it’s time for him to dominate against competition like this. Joy was certainly impactful against FU last year.

Oh, and I hope this game is never ever ever played again. Not because of some split rooting interest either. I follow the Falcons but am certainly not a fan.

BTW - I have a lot of buddies that graduated Friends. Nothing wrong with that school!
