I dont know if we will win, and I dont know if we will lose. But what I do know is, our boys will lay all out on the court tonight and will give Gonzaga the fight of their lives.Follow me on twitter: https://twitter.com/Shox_KCfan

Defense, I don't want to get in their grill, I want to get in their damn dashboard! Watching the Zags play against Southern on Thursday I thought (via the eye test) we can play with these guys! Yes Mr. Olynyk is a versatile player, but he seems obsessed with his hair and headband. EO, CH, every chance you get take a swipe at his headband, this will cause him to become distracted :devilish:. Lots of Zag fans here in SLC, but I think we can win over the Harvard fan(s) to our side, Arizona fans, I'm still working on.

I haven't given a prediction yet. Guess I will give an honest guess and say:
Former player who played for the Jazz - 73
Former player who played for the Jazz - 68
Lol I will let you figure out who is who ;)"He called me around noon and was thrilled," Brandt said. "He said he was going to be a Shocker forever." -- RIP Guy, you WILL indeed be a Shocker forever!

The chance that comes along around every 45-50 years will not take so long from here on out. Our Program is heading up where we long to be to stay for a while. Not even Kentucky is Dancing this Season and K-State is already done. Tonight, we understand we are playing one of the very best of the best. However, even when we played UConn the Season they won the National Championship, we had a close call and almost won. We were so very close. Now another gargantuan opportunity has slammed open and we must barge in like we own the place and seize the moment.
Likewise tonight, as goes Hall, Armstead, and Cle, our Shox will follow. Our players will be primed and ready to give their all. If our team executes on an A scale tonight, we win. What a thrill for us all to be in a position at Prime Time that most of the basketball fans in the Milky Way will be watching our very game. If that does not light yourn fire, your wood is soggy. We Are Wichita State. Every dog has their day and the 'Big Dawg' has called us out to play angry under the brighest of spotlights and show the whole world just who we are!!!!! Can u dig that? Grooovy!!!Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

Originally posted by forevershockerfan View PostHere's the deal. Southern took them to the mat but come up short. Our Shocks will Gong the Zags. However, they will shoot the ball much better. They are a good team but beatable. Their bigs looked solid.
Angry MTXE Road Warrior Shockers 77
Zags get Gonged but barely--------74

Originally posted by KC Shox View PostNot exactly. The Zag's offense runs through Kelly Olynick. You keep him in check, you have a great chance of winning. My key to victory is EO is going to have to utilize his superior strength and quickness to shadow KO all over the court and make him take contested shots all day long while staying out of foul trouble. Also, the Zags do not run, if they turn the game into a half court struggle where they like to run set plays to get shooters open, we are in trouble. We cannot allow them to get wide open looks where I saw Pitt have multiple open three's against us all day. Luckily, they weren't hitting them.
Athletic wise, we have the edge and I think we play a better brand of defense. Everyone knows the Zags struggle with opponents being physical. That's a fine line to walk. Will the refs allow the boys to play, or will they call ticky tack fouls all day? If they do, then that hurts us.
My prediction - if the refs allow the boys to play, EO does a good job of disrupting KO and we shoot a whole lot better from the three (say our season average) we win 77 - 68, (I'm already assuming our defense and rebounding will be status quo in this scenario).
If the game turns into a shooting match and we allow KO to go off, we lose 83 - 69.

Originally posted by KC Shox View PostI want so, so much for the Shox to send the Zags packing home tomorrow. Their fans are basing the matchup strictly on our shooting performance from the Pitt game. That was an anomaly, and would love nothing more than for us to prove it to them. Here's to the Shox knocking off the first Dance jitters and come out firing tomorrow.
I'm chalking the 50% from three to karma from the game in Omaha and cu shot so well that game we still have another 50% game coming
