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

[Cdizzle]

Marshall did a good job of calling out the media for pretending the team was back to full strength when Hall came back from injury. Pointed out that 40% of his starting lineup was still on the bench. Expanded that we are STILL missing our starting 3-man, and best 3-point shooter.

I didn't catch it, what was said?

Brought up coaching speculation. Asks how marshall deals with it, in which he forcefully replied " You know, quite frankly, I don't deal with it, Myron".

The three LaSalle players in the press conference didn't know what State Wichita is in.

Obviously a fine institution of higher learning.

And apparently, of our three players at the presser, only Malcolm had any idea where LaSalle was.

By cracky, if Defense is one of the biggest factors, we are in good shape. I think we are ranked around 21st on one publication on D. and La Salle is not in the top 50? Next, I like our quality depth that could really kick in the 2nd half. We should have a nice advantage inside if we can execute that asset. Cle and Hall need to stay out of foul trouble and on the court. Another factor is our beloved Shocks are use to winning road games and one of the best in the Country at doing so.

Next, D-Will is due and if 3G likes Wiggins in the mix due to matchups, I think he too could really help us. Baker "the closer" and FVV "the other closer" may be Freshmen but they already seem like seasoned veterns. 'Bookend Guard Closers' that dig on sealing the deal which contributes to "lights out, party is over?" Baker missed 21 games and our Shocks indeed missed his over-all floor game as he gives us instant offense and solid defense. If La Salle is hitting shots, my prediction should still hold fast. If not, and we are, watch out. We will soon find out because just how cool would entering the Elite 8 be for our "unsatisfied, MTXE, angry road warriors?"
