Baker, to start the game, should launch a trey from the half-court line right in front on the CBS crew.
If they only play us every 30-40 years, I mean why the hell not?For some the glass is half full and for others half empty. My glass is out of ice.

Thanks Dan. Just what we needed.

I've never seen and certainly hope to never see Shocker fans getting their jollies by demeaning other fan bases. Those are the people that spoil the whole fanbase.
I was already pumped for the game, but now I'm out for blood. Time to put supposedly big brother in his place.
Play Angry! Let's go!Deuces Valley.

Originally posted by shockmonster View PostIs KU tall? Without Alexander, they don't seem that tall. Greene, Lucas, Selden, Oubre, Ellis aren't that much different than Wessel, Brown, Baker, Kelly, Carter, and Morris are they? They may be better shooters but they certainly aren't bigger.
Down low, Lucas is 6'10" and Traylor is 6'8". Their other guy getting playing time is Graham, he's 6'2" and certainly doesn't pose a height problem.
So overall, yes, they have a height advantage on us. Obviously, they're athletic too, but KU has been known to simply shut down for periods during the game and play boneheaded basketball. The key to a Shocker victory, IMO, is that WSU gets out big early and place the pressure on them. Or, WSU hangs with KU and waits until they go into one of their predictable funks and then we can pull away.

I'm not to worried about KU's height plus they don't have that shot changer in the middle. Baker and Cotton are strong, solid, and veteran. Brown at 6-6 should give solid minutes. KU seems to occasionally have a problem turning the ball over and if they don't take care of the ball I really like our chances. Team that plays the best deffense wins..
SHOX more points
HAWKS less points

Ironically, I can't wear either of my favorite Shocker T-Shirts Sunday. One says "Fear the Wheat" and the other says "You don't wanna go to war with the Shockers." KU already knows that.
As for the game, my father has always been a goodhearted jayhawk fan (a nearly extinct species). This year, however, he said he picked the us over KU because, as he says, "the Shockers have more heart."
I can't argue with that.
Rock Shock - 76
Chickenhawk - 71

KU's other guards are a match-up problem however. Oubre is 6'7", Seldon is 6'5" and 3-point specialist Greene is 6'7" as well. Both RB and TC are giving up height to those guys.

Wonder who our opponents will after moving on to the Sweet 16 Sunday?Kansas is Flat. The Earth is Not!!
