WSU Versus Alabama Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[forevershockerfan]

Here's the deal. If the Shockers can squeeze 2 wins and head home as an improved team, we will be finer than a frog hair. Great to see MM make the most of his playing time and he has a bright future for us. Alabama looked okay in their 1st half and lethargic in the 2nd half today.

WSU just needs to find a way to win this one and then get to the final of the LH bracket (which I assume will either be Iowa or Dayton). If WSU can win the next 2 games, WSU won't be hurt to bad. Won't be in the top 25, but the Iowa/Dayton game should help.

I ran the RPI wizard for the following projections:

Winning Tournament (Xavier, Notre Dame): Projected 22-7, RPI 29, SOS 89
Wins (Alabama, Iowa): Projected 21-8, RPI 38, SOS 98
Losses (Alabama, Monmouth): Projected 19-10, RPI 61, SOS 104

I expect us to be favored around 5 or 6, with us winning by about 15.

Show Bama who's boss... again.

If we do lose this game it'll be a large disappointment. Should win by around 10-15.

Does that mean on line only?

I think Alabama is similar to USC as far as size and athleticism. Don't think they'll shoot the 3 like the Trojans. Probably will be more of an inside focus by Alabama.

Markis needs to follow up today's game with a similar effort. Tyrone will still get his minutes. Both of these freshmen need remember to stay under control.

Tall front lines are probably the worst case scenario for Anton. Going to see another tomorrow. Anton, when you get your opportunities, make them. No point blank misses.

Ron is a warrior. Didn't like his first shot and some of the drives were out of control. Four turnovers very unRonlike. Ron needs to play steady if for no other reason to be an example for the youngsters.

Rashard needs to keep doing what he's doing.

Don't look for much from Shaq. More so than Anton, long tall athletic types are not a good matchup.

Everybody needs to take care of the ball. No excuses.
