WSU VERSUS LOYOLA PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSION

[chitown_shocker]

Section 210 with one.

I am so excited for this one. Shox playing within walking distance of my house. No way I would miss this one. I hope the game itself is a blowout and never in question. Hopefully Doyel does not rule.

My brother who lives in Chicago now will be there with another friend pulling for the shocks. If it was on a weekend, I might have made the trip.

With our current schedule, if we go undefeated we have a projected RPI of 6 and an SoS of 103.

If we were to drop our 2 games with Loyola off the schedule and went undefeated, we would have a projected RPI of 3 and an SoS of 95.

Love this addition to the conference.

Maybe we can get the NCAA to count them as non-D1 games so it doesn't hurt the rpi.

I know it's been pretty much a forgone conclusion since the start of the season but I'm still surprised no one has mentioned that we clinch a share of the conference title and the #1 seed in St. Louis (...guess I have to clarify that more...#1 seed at Arch Madness) with a win tonight.

That's why this game drives me crazy!

My favorite part was when you had to clarify which #1 seed in which tournament you were talking about.

Me too - Section 210. Did you get tix from the Foundation or WSU some other way? I know they got a block of 30 and I got one of those.

[Play Angry]

It's a shame this game wasn't on a weekend- I (and no doubt many others) would have loved to catch a cheap non-stop to Chicago and catch it live. Maybe next year.

I feel good about tonight. We are focused and about as healthy as we've been since early December.

+1. I never like to feel overconfident, and this team has been OUTSTANDING at taking 1 game at a time, but they are in good shape right now and it certainly feels like to me that they are trending better right now, and what a terrific time to be doing just that.

Go Shocks!

I bought mine through the Loyola ticket site. Best available Sunday.

At this point, the biggest question is, which poster is going to start the official game thread? I've started it a couple of times, but last week yielded to someone that had more seniority. Is there any protocol on this board as far as starting game threads?

[MadaboutWu]

First come, first serve. If you want to start it, go for it.

[LandStander]

I'll have 5 with me in section 208. See ya guys there

Sullentrop mentioned this. Don't we win it out right since we have the tie breaker over isub?
