WSU VERSUS ALABAMA PREGAME PREDICTIONS AND DISCUSSIONS

[Rocky Mountain Shock]

Apparently, WSU is the 2nd highest rated non-con team ever to play at Coleman Coliseum.

That's a crazy stat for any SEC team. Except maybe SC.

Its a road game its going to be tough. Plus the fact WSU will not sneak up anyone this year. Coming off an emotional game/win saturday I expect a little let down from WU tonight. This could be loss number one of three for the shox. but ill give em a tough win

True road games in college basketball are always tough. To expect or anticipate an easy win on the road just doesn't compute to me. Especially when we are again targeted as a game that could turn our opponent's season around.

We don't necessarily need to play great to win, but we do need to play well to win.

The short turn-around from the Tennessee game is a little concerning, especially with Ron-Rob's ankle still a big question mark. Yeah, he went 32 hard minutes against the Vols but who knows how that ankle will respond to that stress. Baker may not be Barker but that ankle was no doubt barking at him after the game against Tennessee.

The only thing I want for Christmas is a 12-0 Shocker team. I'll take a win tonight by any margin whatsoever to set up that possibility (North Carolina Central coming up Sunday at Koch Arena). A great game by the Shocks would just be a great big, sparkling bow to top off our mini-SEC tour.

Go Shocks!

Read on another thread the Shocks have the highest NCAA road winning record since 2010-2011 at 28-8 or .778. Hope we add to that total tonight

Crap! Game on espnU before the shockers is tied with 16 seconds left. No freaking overtime please!!!

[tropicalshox]

Hopefully USF and FGCU will not go to overtime on ESPNU.

[shock-it-to-me]

Well say goodby to the first 10 minutes of our game. Overtime

[AndShock]

Well say goodby to the first 10 minutes of our game. Overtime

I would expect it to be on ESPNews like every other time.

[tropicalshox]

Maybe they wll put the start on ESPN News.

[shock-it-to-me]

Game starting on espn news

[AndShock]

ESPNews confirmed. If you don't get that channel you can always watch Louisville demolish SWOMO on ESPN2 while you're waiting.

[Kung Wu]

Is ESN = ESPN News (604 on Uverse)?

[I_Vector_Wu]

Affirmative , 1604/604 on Uverse
