WSU vs. Creighton Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[HarpBros]

“If there's any road game a Creighton fan ever has a chance to make, I'd tell them make the drive to Wichita,” Funk said. “It's the best road atmosphere you'll ever see in the Valley.”


I very confused right now I think I like Nate Funk.... no.... but thanks for the kind words!

Creighton - 69
Wichita State - 72


Enough said.

What a complex that fanbase has. I really love it. It's like they're too good to admit they have a rivalry with us or something. It's the strangest, most egotistical logic I've ever seen from a college basketball fanbase. The irony is that is who they always talk about. There's always posters there saying they'd cheer any Valley team but WSU. Or I hate them, etc, etc.

Their own player even says it's a game "Creighton fans have circled on their calendars"... http://www.kansas.com/2013/01/17/264...as-become.html

Even their own beat writers ask McDermott about the rivalry in the video at the bottom of their own newspaper website... http://www.omaha.com/article/2013011...ing-early-time


But, no, not a rivalry.

They are a STRANGE breed, in complete denial, to say the least.

I love the fact that the "it's not a rivalry" started on page 8 of the game thread on Bluejay Underground a day before the game. Seems like a LOT of discussion going on before the game for a game that isn't a rivalry.

Give your soul's to Jesus, Creighton. Because today, your ass belongs to WSU!

It's a phenomenon produced by drinking the water (or getting too close to the cattle) north of the border. UNL could never admit that Colorado was a rivalry, yet there actions proved to the world that it was.

The talk of rivalry sounds high school-ish to me. It doesn't bother me what other fans think, one way or the other. I've enjoyed having Creighton in the valley; I think they, and a couple of other schools over the years have helped WSU bring recognition to the league. That being said, I don't have a good feeling about who will win. If the Shocks bring their level of play over the last 2 games to Koch today, it's probably going to be a loss. If they play to their capability, and if they use a little more of the shot clock, make some layups, and overall play smart, then I think they'll win by a few.

I hope the Shox can give CU a nice heavy dose of a hot Carl





Hall.

Damn cell phone hit the enter button several times befote I could finish typing.

[Ta Town Shocker]

Agreed. Carl had a huge game in Wichita last season and I would love nothing more than to see him have another great game this year and come away with a W this time.

[Mr. Obvious]

Wiggins is confident. Just tweeted the Shocks will beat the BJ's.

[Rosewood]

I predict that serious butt flu hits the entire CU team and the mop boys need extra help with the mop-up duties today.

Shox win 187 to 0.

Going with the dream I had, a 16 point beatdown by the Shockers. Cle scores 20. 80-64 Shockers.
