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

[LoneStar48]

Coach's shirt now available at the Shocker Locker, open until six tonight.

I just looked, but those MTXE shirts aren't on the website. I'd love to have one.

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.

These are all valid. IMO, this is truly a coin flip of a game. I'd be surprised if this game came down to a possession or two. It's simple, the game is either going to play out just like your likes and dislikes list above. If the Shox do what they are capable of and play their game we win by 10 plus. If the dislikes happen, we get beat by 10 plus. I'm reserving predictions, but the winner will take the game by double digits.

Good Luck Shockers! Have a great time in LA! There is a great seafood place right on the ocean at the corner of Pacific Coast Highway and Sunset called Gladstones, be a good place to chill out and watch the ocean after a win. I'm looking forward to you guys winning so I can head to Atlanta and watch some big time games.

A day after their coach said he wouldn't play, Steve Zack has been cleared to play.

Gamesmanship. Just gives us something else to think about.

Just caught the end, did the cat get Malcolm’s tongue? :)

Coach Marshall on the mic now!

[WstateU]

Marshall is promoting the City of Wichita wonderfully...

Now he's promoting the basketball program...

Giving props to the A-10 (specifically La Salle and VCU) and also promoting the Valley…

SOB!! I’m missing most of it because my computer is slower than the ‘seven year itch’.

I believe he’s now addressing specific questions about ‘The Maker’, Ron Baker; “he’s a do-it-all-throw-back type of player”

Bob Lutz asking about Carls haircut… “Carl marches to his own drum and thought it was a good time to cut his hair.”

Sorry,
