WSU versus George Washington Predictions and Pregame Discusions

[forevershockerfan]

Here's the deal. We kissed some dolphins, put our heads inside the lions mouth and won easily, but almost had the blue skies falling somewhere over the warrior rainbow. I'm so amped up right now that I thought a prediction thread was the right thing to do. Didn't Mike Cohen used to be an assistant Coach at George Washington?? Dunno but we better play much better than we did tonight because the Colonials are pretty salty and will want the upset win that barely escaped Hawaii. A 3 game sweep is want we want I tell you. Mr. Kelly and Mr. Brown really helped us dodge the bullet tonight. I predict that not only will we win, but we will look like we have top 10 talent on our squad as Baker will be the maker of eight, count them--8 --3-pointers I say and FVV will have 8--assists. We shan't leave Hawaii without the gold and a 11 point surpass. We went in ranked 11th and we shall escape with 3 victories and still ranked 11th. Sleep well tonight Shocker Nation because winning is fun.

I think with the days rest we will be ready to rock and roll. From what i've heard GW plays a more deliberate game. We will speed them up and will win going away. 72-58.

Heh, who knows what to expect with this one. Hopefully the better version makes an appearance.

Gonna be a tough one. GW is no slouch. But like I said in the other thread, I thought Hawaii would be a toughest game.

With that said, let's wrap up Christmas with a pretty, shiny bow.

GW 58
#11 WSU 65

"On the Night of Christmas our beloved Shockers gave to us, 11 wins and still ranked 11th." Okay, my clock says it is 11 minutes past Twelve bells. Sleep well tonight Shocker fans. We don't always win pretty but winning is what we do.

Another grind, another opportunity for freshmen to get better, but another hard fought
win 58-53. RN and ZB starting to emerge. Kelly already has.

Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein 56m56 minutes ago Very weird that there's not a single CBB game on the slate today. Hoops junkies everywhere pointing towards GW-Wichita State on X-mas night!

When I think it'll be a double-digit win, it's usually a single-digit one, so I'm going to predict a single-digit one to see if the opposite happens. Going with a 5 point win by WSU - 73-68.

If we were playing Colorado instead I would have gone with a 1 point win as each of our 1 point games has been against a "state" school - Utah, Alabama, and Hawaii :)

Comparison from StatSheet

The site did not have the rankings for WSU offense/defense, but the overall average going into the Hawaii game was 112 for offense/ 97 for defense.

Ignore the highlighting in the GW rank columns, though. Just look at the highlights in the raw stats columns

Sounds like one of those games coach talks about where the first team to 60 (or is it 65) wins.. Whatever.. We get there first...

I didn't realize that George Washington has an RPI of 28. They are by far our best option for a good win in this tournament.
