Here's the deal. Might it not be poetic justice that our 40th home win in a row will be against the Sycamores? Why? The Bird, The Brawl, Great Scott, and Timber!!! Let me splain.
The Bird---Larry Bird once scored 33 points with 16 rebounds but our Shocks beat them right here at 21st and Hillside 74-70 in overtime 1/26/1978. He beat us in games too but I don't want to talk about that. I did not see him play here but have been told he was making shots from almost from out on the street at 21st. and Hillside.
The Brawl--This game was at Terre Haute and Eddie Bird was among the 10 or so Indiana State players ejected when one of them punched Sasha and smooshed his jersey. If I recall, only John Cooper was the only Shocker ejected in this melee. That left our foes with 4 players so we went 5 on 4 which was weird. We won that ugly mess too.
Great Scott---Scott Brenton is draining 3's like a winning slot machine hits 7's. The Shocks will also focus on Devonte Brown. Indiana State just beat N. Iowa which makes them 4-1 and 10-7. Thus, a win for us will be finer than a frog hair in the 'Valley Free For All' as Baker calls it. 6-0 for us sounds groovy to me.
Timber--Here is what happens to Sycamore trees down here at Koch Arena. The Shocks do the lumberjack gig, chopping tall timber into thin toothpicks. Chop-em thin, you are bound to win. How do we do this? Shake, Bake, Make, Take/Smooth. MM is thin but is a shaker that shakes into tight spots to help us win. It is too hot to stay in Mr. Baker's kitchen when he bakes foes on both sides of the court with his awesome offense and stingy defense. Conner Frankamp is a maker and is the best shooter 3G has ever coached. His improved execution is like a breath of fresh clear air after a spring rain. After the rain comes the rainbow as FVV taketh from our foes and giveth us wins in smooth fashion which makes our ROI able to raise the roof with fans that love him.
The result of this game will indeed be poetic justice with an eleven point surpass which will total 40 wins in a row at home su-weet home. We are honored as Shocker fans to witness all of this. Enjoy!!!
Indiana State---61
Wichita State---72
