WSU VERSUS OHIO STATE PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[Rosewood]

I predict OSU trolls will get their threads locked before I can post nudes of their mother.

Does Ohio State play zone? Because I'm fairly certain they don't.

I ain't scurred until we play a team that's good at zone defense.

Yeah, Ohio State should be the favorite. The money should be on them. But they don't play zone. So we win. 64-60.

Do some of you remember Evan Ravanel? OSU Center came to Wichita on one of his visits (in the same class as Garrett if iirc). He went to Boston College. He must have transferred to OSU.

Congratulations on the Elite Eight!

Your team looks confident, hot, and well coached. Other than that, an easy W for the Buckeyes. Yikes. WSU is going to be very tough to beat and I guarantee you Coach Matta has the team believing that. There are no easy ones this deep.

I've really enjoyed watching WSU and wish you could have gotten matched up against KU instead. I think you'd beat them.

By now, you've seen OSU play. We are good this year but not great. We have flaws but our stout defense overwhelms a lot of teams at very in opportune times for them. But from what I see, WSU can spread it around very well. So that can overcome a great D frequently.

Good luck in the game and be sure to travel safely.....even if just to the supermarket to get the beer. It should be a gret game and close at the end.

Thanks for the post OSU87. Much better than the first OSU fan who came on our board. Or maybe it was just somebody trying to give your fanbase a bad name. I wish your team the best for next year.

[OSU87]

Thanks. We have such a large fan base that we have a lot if trolls and a lot of haters. I think you have that first poster figured out.

I'm back and so are our beloved Shocks for more of the same. We are wound up as tight as a base drum in a marching band on Homecoming night. Getting sleep last night was like pulling hens teeth. We can catch up on our sleep tonight during the K-who game. Muuuuahahahahaha.

We Lassaulted La Salle with the paint work of Rembrant on Offense and stung the Explorers like an angry covey of hornets on D. We had to because La Salle can be a formidable team as K-State and Ole Miss discovered. All of these teams are solid and it takes properly executed games to beat them on a given night.

We must Buck the Eyes of Ohio State where they can't see clearly now as if the rain has come and there are obstacles in the way as the song goes.. Craft is tough but we have this guy on our team named Armstud that will be on him like a cheap suit. Thomas will have to live in the 'Land of Cotton' which is far from a cake walk and Baker will again have to be a Maker and a heart-breaker and be a closer. Hall, EO, Chadrack, White and Cle must again establish the inside as FreshVV, Wiggins, and D-Will hit shots on the outside as if winning a 3-point contest collectively. White must take some charges to the point on us feinting from the Shock of it all. Yes, each and every Shocker plays a part in our success, not a selected few. We had to develop this all Season because of more than our fair share of injuries.

Yes, we respect all, we fear none, we are Wichita State as we continue to play like angry MTXE road warriors that are far from satisfied with our steadfast focus now on only Ohio State with a vision and our handy-dandy black and yellow GPS aimed towards the road to Atlanta. You dig? Groovin!!!

Should we Play zone against OSU?

Clark Kellogg called us overrated. Let's prove him wrong boys.

I like Clark, but how in the hell are we overrated? We're in the Elite 8. We didn't LOSE and advance.

We are what we are...after tonight, one of 8 teams still playing in the Big Dance. Not sure how that makes us overrated.

If he wants to talk about being overrated, nobody on this team's going to lose a game of Horse to the President, not so Special K.

[ShockerPrez]

There were about 25-30 overrated teams. At some point, you run out if teams.

[WuDrWu]

Did you guys know Len Elmore is former Shocker great Robert Elmore's older brother?

I did not. How cool.

Yep. Len and I have actually exchanged emails in the past regarding Robert. It's my opinion that WSU is missing a wonderful opportunity there....and it's an opinion that Len shares with me. He is an outstanding person and I hold him in the highest regard.

[BOBB]

This is a tough game. Points will be at a premium.

[WuSlamaJama]

Had to find out what a "Buckeye" was. Come to find out Buckeyes= A small, shiny, dark brown nut with a light tan patch that comes from the official state tree of Ohio, the buckeye tree. So they are just a bunch of nuts that we can pulverize. GO SHOX!!!!!

[Kung Wu]

We have ALREADY played this team and won once: See video of us playing Pitt. They are practically the exact same team. Whatever the game plan was against Pitt, do that again please!!

Seriously, check this out. Unless you think we got lucky against Pitt, this is a very winnable game.

[DwShock]

I've heard already from 4 people today that the Shox had an easy draw and no way they beat The Ohio State. I guess I'm not allowed to be happy that the Shox keep winning. What a way to ruin a day. On that note. Keep winning Shockers. You can do this.
