What is FS1? Is that some kind of low budget, regional mid-major sports network?

A legitimate question but it's basketball! Only 4 days to the hour until our Shocks tip off in The Chuck!

Go Shocks!!!

Northwood is coached by Rollie Massimino who coached Villinova to a National Championship in 1985 vs Georgetown.

"A sellout crowd of 6500?"

[WSUwatcher]

Not that unusual, DJ, especially for schools that have been playing for a while and have older buildings. For example, when Duke sells out its celebrated Cameron Indoor Stadium and WSU sells out CKA, there will be more people on site watching the Shocks than the Dukies.

"A sellout crowd of 6500?"

They play games against lesser non conference competition at The Pavillion, an on-campus arena. Bigger games are played at Wells Fargo Center (where the 76ers play).

[SHOCKvalue]

Nova plays roughly half of their home schedule in a rather sad on-campus facility (where the 6500 figure came from), and the other half in the bigger Philly arena where the 76ers call home. The big draws get the big facility, the small draws get the small facility. Interestingly, in spite of being legends in their own minds, Nova finds the small arena to be the appropriate fit for the Bluejay game.

EDIT: Looks like Mr Pickle and I had concurrent thoughts.

I wanna see a true rebounder emerge for the Shox. I know we rebound well, but I wanna see someone make it a mission.

Im talkin Jamie Arnold numbers.

I'm thinking...Bring Back CARL HALL

Do we normally play NAIA-II schools? What is Newman? I guess I'm just wondering what to expect as far as competitive level.

what to expect.....is WSU totally dominating......something similar to you and I playing a toddler on a lil tykes rim in the front driveway.

Yes, I admit I would be dominated in that scenario.
