Shocks v. Salukis

[ShockerFever]

I wish Cox 22 had this game instead of ESPN 3. I checked the cox TV guide listings and the KU women's game vs West Virginia is listed in the same time slot as our game.

Count me in the crowd that's glad it's on ESPN3 and not Cox.

People who live outside of Wichita disagree.

I agree with ya. Last year almost all the games shown on cox22 were available on espn3 for those of us outside of KS. This has not been the case this year. The media agreement must have changed.

[shock-it-to-me]

We're just not a "blow them out" type of team. In typical fassion, we lead by 4 at halftime and pull away late with free throws:
WSU 71
SIU 61

I've noticed the same thing.

[Play Angry]

Perhaps it is related to our offseason media deal with CBS Sports?

And has anything, at all, actually come out of that contract? All I know is that as an out-of-towner my access to games has gone down, not up, so far this season.

Comparative Stats from StatSheet

@iam4wsu, is it correct for me to add this? WSU stat rankings were compiled against teams who gave us a 56 OOC SOS, while SIU's were compiled against teams that gave them a 303 OOC SOS.

Absolutely, but StatSheet calculates SOS as 107 vs 296 and RPI as 10 vs 327.

Strange the projected RPI is 137 to 130. Can the effect of WSU playing SIU twice as compared to SIU playing WSU twice really account for a net change in position of 173?

Shocks 80
Ugly Dogs 50

The real predictions should be how far our RPI goes down just because we played this game.

[Shox21]

Face it -- now that we are in Valley play there are no "good" losses. We just have to win and not stub our toe (no pun intended Kadeem). Our RPI goes down enough just winning these games. Don't even want to think about how far it drops if we lose two or three.

This may not be the place, but RPIforecast.com has their "live" WSU RPI at .6505 and ranked #12. "Projected" is with WSU going 27-3, RPI .6226 and ranked #13.

Realtime RPI has us #12 at .6507 and SOS rank of 94. Tehir Projection is 30-0, rank #14 and projected SOS 147

In addition, their Team Power Rating has us at 82.44, ranked #7 with SOS of 171.

Jackson will get his points, but Early and Carter combine for 36+ points and 17+ rebounds to lead the Shocks in a 75-57 win. The bench will get more minutes and contribute 20+ points.
