WSU VS.LOYOLA PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[Play Angry]

RealTimeRPI.com has Loyola's RPI at 289 and we still have to play them twice. If there was ever a pair of games that we simply can not afford to lose these two games are it. Let's hope we don't pull a SIU-type sleepwalking effort tomorrow night. Somehow, I don't think this particular team will be too susceptible to that.

I was just thinking about this yesterday. This team is probably the first one ever where I have zero stress or worry heading into games against the RPI 200+ dregs. Top 100 teams are always a challenge, and Top 50 teams can beat anyone on a given night, but I really don't even think about this squad laying an egg against a cellar dweller.

We've been good for at least one major dud a year for about fifty seasons and ya always had that knowledge nagging in the back of our minds before playing a Loyola-esque opponent. This season has been so much more enjoyable having total confidence in our guys to take care of biz against inferior teams.

My prediction:

A decent RPI drop on Tuesday..






after the ass whooping.

Loyola looks a lot like 2012-2013 Louisville, if our boys are right in the head.

WSU opens up as 21 point favorites.

Time for Cle to bust out at home. In our 4 Valley road games Cle is averaging 21.75 PPG and 9.0 RPG. In our 4 Valley home games Cle is averaging 10.25 PPG and 4.25 RPG.

Maybe we need our student section to start yelling insults at Cle.

I hope to see it. However, it might also just be that the rest of the team is more comfortable at home causing him to not need to do as much at home as on the road.

Man Im going to go out on a limb here because I havent seen but a few minutes of Loyola, and from what I've read. But I know they like to score and be score on. We like to score and play defense. We will be jacked, being that we will be back in our house. Clee is on a role, Baker is getting his grove back, and Fred is Fred. Wiggins is getting ready to be that 6th man of last year, so with the 3-headed monster dominating the paint and all cylinders firing I say 83-61. And all the fans go home very happy happy as the Duck Dynasty boys would say...

We will need take a picture of our SoS and frame it before gametime- these next 9 games are going to blow that sucker up like Oprah coming off a diet.

Respect every opponent. If you don't, you get yourself into trouble.

A very nice, low blood pressure home win. Shocks by at least 25.

Looking forward to our first trip back to Wichita since 1969. If we play well and don't embarrass ourselves, we'll cruise Douglas Ave. in our Mustang after the game.

Now there's a man who knows the Wichita I grew up in!

Also, Loyola starts a pretty tall lineup. 6-4 6-4 6-5 6-9 6-10. So I'm interested to see if they are able to bother us at all with their height. I would guess no, but we'll see. I also hope the play zone for a little bit, possibly even a 2-3 zone if you know what I'm saying.

Expecting a nice game from DeRail.
