WSU Versus Seton Hall Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[Bluzrover]

Curious to see what happens if/when teams start using a scouting report on McDuffie. In the last 6 games, he's averaging 9.7ppg on 47% shooting, 56% from 3(10/18) and 89% FT (8/9).

I doubt he has been on any scouting reports yet. That may change. If not, I hope he continues to make teams pay. If so, I look for the backcourt duo to take advantage.

I agree. I think most team's will still be scouting Ron and, like Utah last week, will do everything to deny him the ball. That certainly left Brown and Markis wide open for some really sweet looks at the basket they both were able to take advantage of. I'm not sure Markis can repeat this weekend, what with him playing in front of what for him is a home town crowd. His nerves might get the best of him. I'd prefer to be wrong and see Mr. McDuffie go off tomorrow. Go Shox!

WSU has been rumored as interested in Naz Reid, Quinerly and Rafus. Taurean Thompson played high school ball with McDuffie at St. Anthony's.

All NE kids except one. How did that Florida guy sneak in there?

I could be mistaken (and probably am), but isn't Brewster where CJ Keyser transferred for this season?

Big East Promo:

They have shown the same promo on FOX 24 in Wichita several times over the last few days (only it says 10:30 am instead of 11:30am)

[shock]

Taureen also plays with CJ Keyser

Just saw the Fox Kansas promo for the game. It loves Whitehead, WSU is just a "perennial bracket buster", and broadcasting starts at 10:30. You think they would have at least two different promos. One for each teams region.

Fox owns the rights to the Big East, so their ads will focus on those teams. No biggie.

It is game day, the Wichita Eagle still shows us as a 1.5 point favorite, and our beloved Shockers are Not scaart. Yes, it should be a close game, similar to the 70-65 score spread I predicted. However, if our D. can again be stingy and hold the Pirates closer to 50 as we have done teams lately, I like our chances even better even though we understand it will be a warrior tough battle.

Our dynamic duo Baker and FVV will be flanked by Conner who could really shine. Most of us agree MM will play solid as usual but there are 3 other factors. How will our bigs play today which includes the 3-headed monsta? Next, our D-fence has been holding foes stars to a mild roar. Today, it would be great if we can slow-down Whitehead, Delgado, and Rodriguez to a mild roar.

Last but not least, The Pirates start, 1 FR. and 4-So. players. Yes, we are playing on the cold and lonely road where we expect oodles of unexpected frays. Even so, look for the steady hand of our Seniors to guide us home with the win. You know that I always believe we will win every game but these are some valid reasons why we could slide through with a close win today.

That's how I woke my dog this morning. She wasn't happy and bit me. I blame you.

Yes but, McDuffie has been, in a relative sense, a one trick pony this year: 3-pt shooting and transition. What makes him so dangerous is if teams try to guard him with a slower 3 or 4, and they close out hard on him because he's shown to be a good 3-pt shooter, he's athletic and quick enough to go around them and get to the basket.

With good shooters, you want to be in on them on the catch and make them put it on the floor. It could really be a pick your poison kind of scenario with McDuffie.

One trick pony? I think not.

My prediction: Shockers win. And they need every one of today's 7,500 free game towels to mop up the tears of the fans and players once they realize they didn't get to watch or play on the greatest team since basketball was invented by Julius Caesar... UNLV 90-91. But Shocks get over it and come home to stomp on the next team as well.

I have to say, I commend Fox on this game. I really do think they have done a good job building it up. Advertising it over last weeks NFL games, promos this week, talking about it at halftime of the St. John's game. I really do think they have done a very good job of this. Even looking forward to what they say about the game at 10:30. I just think they have done a really good job. The BE slant is natural, it is their conference.
