WSU VERSUS EVANSVILLE PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

Im trying to think of all of the Top 50 teams in America that haven't had ups and downs during the course of a 30 game season.

Can we get a list going?

#24-3problems

	Wins by Double Digits vs Teams 100+	Wins by Single Digits vs Teams 100+	Wins by Double Digits vs Teams 50-99	Wins by Single Digits vs Teams 50-99	Losses Outside Top 50
Utah	11	0	3	0	0
WSU	13	4	2	4	1

*Rankings via KenPom

Both teams have had a similar number of blowouts.

However, that's 9 close wins or losses for WSU outside the top 50. Utah has 0 in those exact same categories.

Once again, I'm thrilled WSU has such an awesome record. I just think it has been a bit of a roller coaster pulling it off. @Detroit, Alabama, @Hawaii, @Drake, @brad:ley... the Shox have gutted out some wins while looking pretty awful. Kudos to them for winning anyway.

Just have to avoid getting Evansvilled on Sunday. Clearly the fans are looking past Evansville and Indiana State towards Northern Iowa and that's okay as long as we still show up at the games with some energy and do our job.

The team obviously needs to stay focused on the job at hand.

The average fan loses focus on the next game whereas a WSU basketball player has several well paid people kicking them in the butt so they retain their focus.

With plenty of rest between games, I think the Shox will continue their winning ways and win 84-63.

Chalk up another one for the good guys. Mock will have more than 2 points this time around and DJ will try to light us up, however, two Aces don't beat a Full House. Shocker Nation will rock it on Sunday in a high scoring affair. I will also make the bold prediction that Evan and the Simmons kid will combine for zero dunks and RKelly gets close to double figure points in this one. FVV with a pts-assists dub-dub.

Shocks 83, Aces 68

Let's hope the team doesn't overlook this Game with the confirmation of gameday on their brains

Wichita State’s Brown return remains uncertain

Shocks jump out to an early 17 point lead and coast the rest of the way home.

Ugh. That's unfortunate as I think Zach was starting to get things figured out. I don't think we necessarily need him Sunday but it would be good for him to get back in the flow of games as we get ready for our March run. We'll need him then.

Pizza Huts 70
Bob Evansvilles 50

(I'm sorry too)

Usually I look in the Sunday paper for the line on such a game as this. Does anybody have a current line by Vegas, etc?

For those that can't make the game in person, it will be on Cox-244 ESPNU at 3.00-p.m. Sunday.
