WSU VERSUS DRAKE PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[forevershockerfan]

Here's the deal. When I was knee-high to a grasshoppa and was expecting too much out of life, Aunt Gertrude would say, "What you ya want FSF, eggs in your beer?" No, but we would like to cause some tears in some Bulldawgs beer. So go ahead Valley teams, make our Season because we already know you will be perfecting the 1-3-1 or any other funky junky zone you can play. Coach Marshall after the GW game expressed his eagerness to get some serious instructional practices going. No Valley team will be taken lightly, especially in their barns. A road win is just what we need to get another nice winning streak going. Look for our inside/outside game to show some positive signs in this game.

MVC CHAMPS----------70

Lady and the Tramp--59

We need to really kick the living crap out of Drake.

[Mr. Pickle]

Pain.

My prediction? Drake plays zone.

We will learn a little bit about this team in how they come out and execute and what kind of fire they play with. I think Brown and Holland have earned some extra minutes, and they turn those into solid outings.

Shox 68
Drake 53

If Drake plays a good zone D:
WSU 72
Drake 66

If Drake is Drake
WSU 71
Drake 44

[Play Angry]

FWIW, the Shockers are 327th in adjusted tempo this season (per kenpom) and Drake is 326th. Projected possessions for the game is just 58.

Does a versus Drake prediction thread need to exist? I mean, Drake has three wins, one against a non D1 program and two against programs with RPI's of 314 and 325. This is going to be a beat down of epic proportions. Hell, JR Simon could run the point the entire game and we'd still win by 30. In fact, start Simon, Bush, Shaq, Zach Bush and Evan on a bum ankle and we still clobber these guys.

Kiss of death.

I don't know, but if we struggle at all with Drake, it will be okay to start the meltdown :)

[SB Shock]

I wouldn't want to be Drake. WSU 104, Drake 55

[moshock]

I think we should kick their a$$ just for making the "all about the drake" video.

This game is gonna be All about the Shox

I want to see us inflict pain on our next few opponents to make the guys understand how important this is and what can happen in the blink of eye (drake's current season).

Play Angry. I mean really angry.
