WSU verus DRAKE predictions and pregame discussions

[Dave Stalwart]

WSU 74
Drake - 49

I'm wondering if it will be like this as well. I mean didn't people say UNI was a 3point shooting team too?

I also keep feeling like I need to be 'realistic' and then the team comes out and does something unrealistic :)

Right or wrong, I feel that I owe it to these guys to go ahead and predict a 20 point defensive destruction.

Shockers 70
Bulldogs 50

Shox 69
Drake 56

Okay, I am calling in a revenge game for the Shockers. Oh how I remember exactly where I was during that triple overtime heart breaker. I was in western Kansas visiting my elderly father who went to bed just as the game started. I spent more in wine and beer than any ticket. I distinctly remember those of us online asking for a longer break to resupply the 'fridgerator, then.....disappointment. I again will watch this game alone, but at my own home and with plenty of comfort supplies..... BUT I WON'T NEED THEM!!!!
Shocks 65
Dogs blowing snot 52

[Downtown Shocker Brown]

Where Casey Blake played College Ball -- 80
Where Casey Blake was Born -- 54

Did you say something? I was looking at Robin.

Shockers win 71-59.

For those outside of the TV viewing area the game is on ESPN3 (blocked out in Kansas and Missouri).

[shoxlax]

Drakes best win was at Nevada, but they have several moral victories. Kind of a hard team to figure out really.

Yes, she has many attributes a superficial man, like me, find quite appealing!

You're just pissy you got fired!

This new bunch of guys needs to prove that they can do it on the road too. If we lose to one of the bottom half MVC team, it'll be on the road.

The results should not be the same

I don't care what the score is, just get me some payback for that double OT loss from last year. Can't believe we lost that game last year.

The results should not be the same. Although the Shockers are a very good team, they are not the same animal that they were last year. The Bulldogs will have a hard time figuring out who to key on . There are too many people that can score etc.,and ironically, it will make it harder for them to figure it out with 3 of our regular starters injured. If we can keep our fouls down (as we have done for the past 3 games) they will not beat us .They would have to shoot lights out at the 3 pt. line to even have a chance. If the Shockers focus in this game could get pretty ugly with a lopsided win.
My prediction:
Wichita State - 76

Drake - 55

[Trueshock]

It was actually a triple overtime

[wusphlash]

I think we go as Malcolm and DW go. If they play solid, we take care of business. If they're not focused, it will be a battle.
I'm going with senior focus. Shocks 80-64.

Question, who do you think will take Simmons? Tekele?

[Trueshock]

Paranoia does not make us the loser in this one

Playing devil's advocate does not make it so. This should be no problem for the Shockers.
You need to get rid of the Romeo Crennel moniker. The Shockers are not the Chiefs and they
will not disappoint you like KC does. The only luck that will turn is the bad luck in the tripple OT.
game at Drake last year. The Shocks are gonna Shake-and-Bake-Drake.
