Wichita State vs. LaSalle- Sweet Sixteen Showdown Discussion and Predictions

[shockerfan]

im not overlooking anyone...thats how you lose games is by disrespecting your opponent and not game planning for them!! There are no gimmies in sports and I hope Gregg Marshall and company instill that into the players heads...GOSHOX

I get what you are saying and agree that I hope the team doesn't overlook them. I highly doubt they will. With that said, it doesn't matter if fans do, I don't think I have cost the team too many games by looking ahead. ;)

One of the reasons I don't look ahead too much is I just don't want to get my hopes up. If you start thinking about "what if" then you start believe it will just happen only to be let down big time if it doesn't. Although, it's very hard to keep the "what if" thoughts out of my head ;)

Im very nervous about this game. Im just so damn ready for them to play. Ive already gine from nervous, to confident, to really confident, to cautiously optimistic, to what if we come out flat, to no way this team comes out flat, to not satisfied, to damn! We could go to the final 4, to man, we need can run these guys, back to nervous.

Im sure Ill run through the emotions 4 or 5 thousand more times before tipoff.

Love the Shox. Sieze this moment. Huge!

Is it Thursday yet? I can't remember being this amped up for the next game back in 2006. Maybe I have a different feeling this time around.

Carpe' Diem! You couldn't have asked for a better set up as a 9. Don't let La Salle be the first to punch you square in the nose and rock you back. We need to be the aggressor and make them take a step back and start thinking the Shox mean business. Get out early, get out fast and demoralize them.

I mean, they can't put anything on the internet that isn't true, right?

Where'd you hear that?

Yeah, we need THEM to be the ones after the first 10 minutes to be thinkin they don't belong here.

We just knocked off a 1 seed. They got KSU and a gimmiky Ole Miss team with a clown as their centerpiece.

Yeah, I said it.

What I don't like about this game:

-LaSalle's shooters getting open looks;

-Our two games with SIU;

-The referees;

-The good possibility we won't shoot like we did the last three minutes of the Zags game;

-The way the Explorers seem to rise to the competition-K State, VCU, Butler;

What I like about this game:

-Our ability to learn from past games;

-Tekele on Galloway;

-Our size;

-Our fans, although we may not get the UA-OSU winner fan support;

-Our anger


Limit the open threes, protect the lane, hit the offensive boards and get back in transition. Even if we turn the ball over some and don't shoot great, we do those things, we should win.

Whether or not an fans overlook or disrespect an opponent is largely irrelevant other than its bad karma.

There are only 16 teams still standing in the NCAA Tournament and I doubt seriously that any of the remaining teams are going to take anyone that still playing at this point lightly. If there are then they deserve to lose.

Anyone want to buy my airline ticket, game ticket, pay for the hotel room in LA, and feed me for the weekend? I don't know, but it might bring some good luck if you did! I'll be flying out of DFW, so you won't be paying as much for my flight!
