  • No team in the top 50 probably has 4 of their top 8 players not playing. Even so, as 3G often mentions, other teams have no sympathy for us if we play them. Thus, we will see how much of the 2013 History and magic repeats itself. No team will out work us. I love BWam's attitude and positive outlooks are of essence.

    In 2013, we were picked to finish 4th in the Valley so we slipped up on some unexpecting foes with lots of close wins with true grit and warrior attitudes. No teams underestimate us now and all will take us seriously. Of course we had the defensive stopper Cotton, inside we had the beast Carl Hall and the NBA player now Cle, and Armstud training FVV. The quicker we get healthy, the better we will finish. A game at a time as we right this ship that has faced stormy waters and is now in search of more clear sailing as our injuries start healing up.

    Back to 2013 there were 2 positive things that gave us a big boost at the end when it counts. The return of "Baker the Frosh. maker" after missing 20-plus games who gave us quite a boost. Then the emergence of Fred who paid his dues on the bench and stepped right up when it counted the most as a Freshman and placed his role off the bench as smooth as silk. We have some Freshmen and Sophs. that could do the same as the early Season marches on. Stay tuned!!!

    One last memory lane visit to 2013. After we finally got beat in the Final 4, we witnessed FVV and Baker embrace walking though the tunnel. This Season, they will do the same but this time their games will be over here but their legacy will live on through the annals of Shocker History forever. Enjoy these special moments of watching these 2 All Americans guards play because they have done and will do everything they can do to help us win.
    Shocker basketball will forever be my favorite team in all of sports.

        Four of our top 8 is a little conservative. It could be 4 of our top 5 or 6 depending on where you rank McDuffie, Wessel, and Kelly.

          I doubt we get Grady back, talked with someone yesterday involved with it who said Grady not getting any worse but not coming around as quickly as had been expected. too bad for the kid.

          • Starters?

            I can't remember ....even back 15+ years when the starting lineup could be just about anyone. You know Baker will go...after that?


            I'll go with Big Bush at the 5, EW giving us a little early grit at the 4, freshman sensation MM at the 3, Shake and Bake at the deuce and CF running the point early. Others?

                So does that mean CF is going to be eligible tonight?

                  ... No really, deuces.

                  • It's finally game day. Hopefully by the end of the day the gloom and doom crowd will be smiling. I say shockers win this one. Have fun. Play Angry.

                      They moved back his start date 1 game, right?

                      • I thought they moved it from the 12th to the 9th. Unless they moved it back one game again!

                        • I'm out of the loop but wouldn't 1 game early be the 9th vs UNLV?

                          If CF plays today I'll be really damn thrilled

                          • Doc speaks in subtle hints when he knows something but doesn't want to break the news. This is why doc has such a following :)

                            • Why all the questions on Conner playing, of course he is playing today. no question about it, it's been known all week...at least to me, figured it was common knowledge.

                                I didn't realize he was officially eligible. I'm a little slow sometimes though. Thanks for the info.
