Here's the deal. Charles Dickens just might also coin N. Iowa's Season thus far "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." We were excited for them when they defeated #1 N.C. at home and they beat #5 Iowa State on the road. Now those wins were the best of times. Even so, about the time their fans were wanting "eggs in their beer" they lose to Hawaii, BYU, S. Ill., Mo.State, Indiana State, and Loyola. They are now 10-9 and 2-4 which have been the worst of times based on expectations that were floating around on Cloud 9 after such huge wins against top 5 teams. When it rains, will it pour down on them more? Stay tuned to upcoming prediction below.
Our trek there last Season was as easy to digest as finding halfway through your meal a dead roach stuck to the bottom of your moist, scrumptious, tender ribeye. Not the true grit win we were in search for that rough day. We played hard but did not execute. Tuttle was playing like Kevin McHale and they were raining in 3's like panthers and dogs. The player they have now that impresses me most is Wes Washpun. We also don't want to play a game of horse in their barn against Bohannon, Jesperson, and Morgan. Look for the Shocks to get up in their grill with some smash mouth Defense while keeping our fouls to a mild roar. Marshall knows they will have "the eye of a miffed panther" and he will prepare our beloved Shocks to expect the unexpected.
As we ponder the History of our Road Warriors for the past 5 Seasons, we win lots of road games when we keep our turnovers under 10, and our bench comes in and gives strong reinforcement help. WSU takes flurries of foes runs, sucker punches, haymakers, and crowd noise but yet can still win way more than our fair share on the cold and lonely road. I love our bench with Conner "shooter, shooter" Frankamp, Markis Majestic McDuffie, Thunder Dunk Machine Guns Kelly, and Groovy Grady. Our starters and finishers are 9 in number and still more Shockers developing, and I like that.
Charles Dickens was also quoted as saying "please sir, I want some more." This road win will be one that few other Valley teams will accomplish IMO. Today, we only had 5 turnovers, and really took charge the 2nd Half. More of that with a win please would be suweeet. With 7 ticks left on the game clock, FVV penetrates with the game tied, kicks it to an open Baker who drains the 3 at the buzzer for the surpass.
