WSU Versus UNI Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[Kung Wu]

Wow - the dude who predicts for ESPN is calling for an OT game. No flippin way.

What a loser. It's like he is predicting a 75 to 74 finish or something.

[Play Angry]

For some reason, that's quite surprising to me.

Seems high or low?

Man, UNI fans are gonna be insulted by that one. Look for millions of UNI money to drop the line to around -3 by game time.

I don't think Vegas accepts MVC monopoly money

Well, now that you put it that way. LOL

I thought it seemed high. I don't know, I guess for some reason I expect UNI to keep it closer.

Should be interesting - UNI's adjusted tempo per KenPom is #345 in the country, so they will want a slow grinder which could keep it close. Of course, our prior game against them was only 60 possessions and we still wiped the floor with them.

Hopefully the crowd brings it and our defense does not let them get any rhythm from the perimeter.

UNI fans on their board like their chances. Beat Missouri State and Drake at home and outlooks change quickly.

I should ask them about their at-large chances.

It can't be that big of a deal. I mean the WSU thread only got started an hour ago.

82-78... call me crazy but i don't think UNI gets to 78 with multiple OTs, let alone one.

Considering nobody in the MVC has scored more than 65 points against us, I'd say you are right.

I'd say the previous 19 point drubbing at their place has something to do with it.

I think these guys show up and play well. I'll say 73-66 Shockers.

Which guys?

[asiseeit]

UNI guys - I'm taking the 13 pts

[another shocker]

evansville showed better in wichita- so will uni.

Make Washpun go right
Stay tight on Bohannon and Jesperson.
Keep Koch off the free throw line.
Simple.

[ShockerFever]

I predict UNI will attempt 30 three-pointers. If they make 20 of them, they lose by 2. If they make 15 of them, they lose by 17. If they make 10, they lose by 32.
