Here's the deal. You know what makes me so mad I could eat fried chicken? Multi-tasking while pushing start on the Keurig only to realize you forgot to put the stinkin coffee cup in place. This is a blunder that is very messy and gloomy. Likewise, such mishaps can't be frequent playing the 3-0 Salukis in Carbondale at SIU Arena. Barry Hinson is a solid Coach, the king of one-liners, and they also beat UNI (don't call the panthers NIU). Anthony Beane is lighting up the scoreboard like a winning slot machine and this is the surprise team of the Valley IMO. Salukis can run over 40 MPH but must be aware when speeding in school zones or Shocker Man to Man D.
Only the best of the best teams with leadership and warriors like the Shocks can overcome such onslaughts that occur on the cold and lonely road. Here is what might happen. The Shocks always draw the biggest crowds our foes will have at their own barns because they want so bad to beat us and want to watch our beloved Shocks play. Our foes are as high as a kite and all worked up wanting to defeat us. Once the game starts and foes get on a roll, the crowd goes into a loud frenzy, and you just hope the refs don't join in the fray with popular calls. For example, many moons ago, in the last few seconds in a tie game versus SIU, a ref calls goal tending on EO and they get throws. Game over.
With that said, relax and don't worry about none of that jazz for the following reasons. Baker will score 22, FVV will dish out 11 assists, Wessel will get 7 floor burns and will like it, MM will spark us as usual, CF will hit 4 three-pointers, Grady and The Wall Of Shaq will clean glass sparkly clean, and Brown will hit 2 big corner shots and the our road warriors win. That's my story and the Shocks are sticking to it. No mess, doom, or gloom to clean up Saturday. After this win, SN can have moments of joy.
