WSU Versus UNI Predictions and Pregame Discussions

Okay, I am officially JACKED for this game, and NOTHING is going to get done at work this afternoon.

Yep. I was at the Vandy game in person with a few friends using Jamar's personal allotment of "family" tickets. Sitting with all the player's family members for the Jamar put back of Miller's intentionally missed FT was amazing. Even though the next play was horrible, it is still a very fond memory overall. I have to give Vandy's fans credit. The student section was very close to us, and many members came up afterward and were very polite, discussed the crazy ending, and wished us safe travels.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the hardest part of that play was the perfectly missed free-throw. Wasn't it Ogirri who did that? I'm pretty sure it was.

Jacked Daniels?

Jacked Daniels?

Not a bad idea!

Fred on Washpun should be a fun matchup to watch. Fred will be smart and make him go right and shoot from the outside.

Now that I think about it, I think you are right. Miller was the guy who cleared the lane from one block, drawing multiple defenders so Jamar could fly in just in time to rebound and put it back for the tie.

I agree it will be fun to watch, although I'd be surprised if Fred spends most of the game defending Washpun. I think he will also see Ron, and perhaps even the Zach/Markis shutdown crew. Whoever is not defending Washpun has to make sure they don't cheat too much to help off shooters.

Well, good point!

According to the Twitter account @PurplePepCrew tonight's game is a Purple Out.

And my favorite tweet from them:
@PurplePepCrew It's 2016 and Wichita is still not a state. #NotAState

Another clever color-out. Wichita State must be in town.

The "not a state" thing is becoming the MVC's knock-knock joke.

I hope they print shirts as well. It will be good to have all the fans in the league wearing Wichita State shirts here in a year or two. Will come in handy for them in March.

Similarly clever "jokes":

Northern Iowa is really more east than north!

There are no panthers in Iowa!
