WSU Versus Bradley Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[pogo]

In Marcellus' defense, the guy did try to feel him up. Or down. Or something unnatural. At best he was practicing for the next cuddle party.

You forgot the part where "NO" is a complete sentence.

We have to be happy with our guard rebounding. Last night, Baker leads our team with 7 and FVV had 6. They play lots of minutes but that stat is indeed impressive. FVV had 6 assists and only 1 turnover in 32 minutes. MM lead our team with 2 steals in that game and I love that corner shot of his. I can live with .824 on throws as our Shocks did last night and only 9 turnovers and outrebounded them by 10. We want to go undefeated in the Valley and these are qualities of a team of warriors both at home and on the road that know how to win. Young Bradley is in deep trouble this weekend but I hope they improve as a team thereafter.

Best part of that video is Sommerville whining after he gets ejected like he has no idea what he did wrong.

prediction is that Bush, Bush, Simon, Taylor and Hamilton ALL get in excess of 5 minutes...

[Rosewood]

We break 100

This'll be a good test to see if TT^2 can stop from squammying all over the hoop with mediocre shot selection. I'd love to see him start to turn the corner for next year as a backup. I'd also like to see a lot more out of BWam.

Should win by at least 30 if the guys don't relax too much...Shox 85- Bradley 52....

KenPom's formula predicts 71-46. I find it interesting that he predicts such a relatively low score for the Shox. I would have expected closer to 80. Looking closer, neither team tends to play a very fast tempo in general, and the 85 points on 67 possessions in the game at Bradley a few weeks ago was one of the most efficient performances WSU has had on offense all year.

[Shockers5150]

80-48

[ShockerPhi]

Since this will be a blowout, I'd like to see a few SC Top 10 worthy plays. Maybe finally connect on an alley oop. And for Rashard to make consecutive point blank shots.

Bradley Game

I want to see Anton Grady quit making the silly fouls; the kind that a senior should know better than to make! He had 3 fouls in the game with UNI. One was a reaching over the back for a rebound. Another one was trying to reach around from the side against their Center, & the 3rd one was somewhat forgivable, but why chase a fast guard around on the perimeter that close? We need Grady to be more productive. Maybe the fact he missed so much time earlier in the season for a new team for him has slowed his getting used to playing at WSU in the overall scheme of things, so he tries too hard. But, I'm confident that 3G & his staff can help him correct these sort of things.

Anton's reaction after committing an obvious foul...

WstateU... good find on that pic. Grady has the best "totally shocked to be called for a foul" face of any Shocker I can remember. I've lost count how many times I've seen him with that exact same reaction.

If he were on any other Valley team, this board would mock him mercilessly as a whiner. I wish he would go a little more toward the Baker/VanVleet route and just save his complaining for the occasions where it is truly warranted.

Very true, I've seen Baker react with less emotion after a Tomahawk chop to the face than Grady.

With that said, I love how Grady gets position. He's very good at that.
