Shocks vs SLU Pre-game Thread

There is a part of that believes we will destroy SLU today.

Then their is that part of me that believes in the cautiously optimistic approach.

I'm cautiously optimistic that we will win comfortably. And believe there is a better than 50/50 chance that we make a statement today at the expense of the Pelicans.

He already confidently predicted this to be the 2nd of 4 non conference losses.

He's already one game down on these predictions. I'll give KC the benefit and guess he'd be happy to be 0-for on his 4 game prediction.

Shox win with without too much stress 72-65

[rialaigh]

Apparently they are honoring their coach who died last year (one year later) who recruited 4 starting senors and coached them. Expect their house to be packed and full of emotion. I suspect this is the reason the line is currently there way. They will fight hard, this game will be ugly and full of fouls, we better shoot FT's well or we lose this one.

Close one Shox win by 4

[MadaboutWu]

Gateway to the west 68
Reverse the curse 64

Hope I'm wrong. If we get this one I can see us going a long while before our first loss.

Money flowing n on slu now -4.5 at my book

Until someone proves differently, I expect wins. A team that has trouble scoring should be right in our wheelhouse. It's about time for a Cleanthony explosion. WSU 75, SLU 60. I hope this series becomes a regular.

Wow! Ron watched his first Shocker game in 1928.

So nowhere to watch online?

I have a hard time taking any team over the Shox so I'll say this is a 50-50 game. First true tough road test in St. Louis. Both teams are tough defenses but I think the Shockers are the tougher of the two.

This will be an interesting game in that St. Louis is recognizing the one-year anniversary of the death of coach Rick Majerus. Their players will have an emotional edge but I have to say that I believe HCGM has the ability to get his players to take that away from an opponent.

I don't see a double digit win for us this time around. I hope I'm wrong but I see a really close game today. First team to 65 wins.

By the way, I'm predicting 4 victories in St. Louis this year.
