Here's the deal. Once upon a time, the Aggies were coming to Shocker Mountain, but it was too icey for Big Bird, so here we go again. The end, but not really. This we do know. If they would have made it here that cold winter night, there is not enough ice or snow to slow down Shocker fans from filling Koch Arena.
Their squad comes in here at 18-8 and were 23-11 last Season. They are led by Pascal Siakam who is averaging 21.7 ppg. and is a rebounding machine. Their other ace is 'Ian "a" Baker too' who averages 14.4ppg and is a solid player and lights out shooter. Thus the Shockers will be busy keeping tabs on both of these two players, trying to cover them up like a cheap suit. We will face few teams with 2 players that can hoop like these two young men.
Look for the Shocks to regroup and 'come out swinging' from jump street. Baker, FVV, and CF will all 3 make 3-3-pointers apiece at least, but that is not enough. We must establish our inside game, score on penetrations, eat glass with true grit, and defend without fouling too much. Playing in this here "Valley Free For All" does not allow us with much 'wiggle room' for losing games. This is a Non-Con game we must win. From here, the Shocks need to win ugly, win pretty, win angry, win not being satisfied, but just win!!! We will start a new home winning streak with an 11 point surpass. If we don't lose here for another 3 Years, we will be groovin.
