WSU VS. LOUISVILLE PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[Sly Cards Fan]

Louisville 80-WSU 72

[KC Shox]

The Shockers favorite ESPN television broadcaster, Seth Greenberg, was on a panel this morning. The host asked Greenberg for the probability of the Shockers winning. Greenberg made some sniffing, rude dismissal of the Shockers, which implied no chance. When pressed for a percentage number, Greenberg grudgingly said the Shockers have a 5% chance of winning.

If there is a basketball goddess, then she should ....

He's not wrong. But a Shocker victory would be all that much sweeter to see Greenberg, the other experts and me eat large quantities of crow. The look on their faces would be priceless.

Bilas just burned the hell out of Greenberg. They were doing a demonstration on a court and he told Bilas to keep his role of only setting screens and then Bilas told him that if they are sticking to roles then Greenberg shouldn't be their coach since this isn't the NIT, along those lines. It was GREAT.

He's not wrong.

You agree with him that the Shox can only beat Loo-evil 1 out of 20 games on a neutral court? That's the fatalist we all know and love!

Excited to watch the game, but I am almost tempted to listen to the game over the radio. I remember listening to the games with dial up internet with my dad. Then he would always jump on Shockernet after a big win, and relay the thoughts of SubGod, Forever Shocker Fan, and even Tyrone Shoelace! This game is not even close, the Cards make it respectable in the last 5 minutes. Shox 72-61.

CBS just had a close up do the Shockers in the tunnel. Saw Evan in uni. Can't help to think...what if he could play.

Barkley is hilarious...talking about cheering for your rival Chuck said "If Alabama was playing Russia, I would cheer for Russia." He is one of a kind thankfully.

The tip-off is in less than an hour. I have on my Final 4 Shirt with Company on the way over here. Several teams we played this Season know first-hand that we are solid and better than advertised. This game will be a fierce battle and soon it will be live, with more fans watching our beloved than ever before. The butterflies in my tummy remind me that Sub is not worried, and that our Shocks will give it their all and represent Shocker- Nation in awesome fashion. History will be in the making beginning at 5:09pm. GO SHOCKS!!!!!!!

You do understand an important role coming up for you don't you?

I just wanted you to know, we are all counting on you. Go Shox, we can do this Bay Bay!!!!

You know, it looks to me that there are 29 teams seeded higher than the Shockers who aren't playing this weekend. I'll take our 1 in 20 shot. I wouldn't rely on the predictions of anyone besides those from Shocker Nation. Everyone else is wrong, and we're ANGRY!

Rip 'em up
