Shockers vs Oklahoma Baptist game thread

[shocker22]

Who redshirts? Shaq? Can't really see that because we need post depth. Do they redshirt DJ with the possibility of his return to basketball in the future? John Robert Simon is a RS for sure.

Red Shirts

I posted this in another thread after Shocker madness but I think Shaq is most likely going to redshirt. I think Carter will play some 5. I realize he is only 6'7 but dude has the longest arms ever. We will know a lot more after the exhibition games but Shaq looked lost and out of shape during Shocker madness.

Never occurred to me about counting JRS as a redshirt. I think Shaq redshirts. Not Holland.

Shaq.

I guess it anonymous then. Shaq

Unanimous?

Just a hunch, but I believe Holland will play quite a bit this year.

[wufan]

I'm seeing 10 minutes a game this year with a big future ahead!

Holland's dunking was impressive. But I was not impressed with his scrimmage play.

[WuDrWu]

He has a long way to go, especially defensively, but he'll learn and adapt. He's going to play, and he'll learn, just like Fred did last season.

[Aargh]

I'll take a guy who has some talent and projects to be a 6'7", 270 5th-year Sr.

Did someone say the Shockers take to court today in less than 12 hours? It might not count in the eyes of the NCAA but I'm pumped up for this season to start.

This really is one of the toughest games to predict a score on all year, let's see some risk takers making predictions.

Final prediction:

Shox 88
OkBap 56

I noticed that Oklahoma Baptist won their opening game of the season this past Thursday by a score of 97-52. So it should be a pretty high scoring game, especially with more opportunities for free throws.

I wonder how much more we average per game this season because of the rule change? Last year we averaged 69.7 points per game. I don't see why we can't get it close to 75. I think even without the rule change we were going to average more.
