WSU Versus Illinois State Predictions and Pregame Discussion on Senior Day

[KC Shox]

If they score more than 60, I'll be a monkey's uncle. Revenge, Senior Night, playing for an at-large bid, and playing at home are factors ISUR won't be able to overcome. That right there makes it 9 on 5 on the court.

They won't come into Koch intimidated, they've played a tough non-con schedule, I'll give them credit for being one of the few MVC teams who actually challenged themselves in the non-con, but it won't be enough to help them.

We laid an egg in the second half - thought we had them beat and relaxed. That won't happen again.

When we're up by 28, GM is going to start pulling the Seniors off the court one-by-one at the 3 minute mark to large ovations. It'll be Bush, Grady, Evan, Ron and FVV or Evan, Ron and FVV at the same time.

ISUR is a good replacement for Creighton as MVC rivals. Their coach is a smug punk and their fans are loons. ISUR starts two sophomores, two juniors and one senior so they'll be good again next year and challenging us for MVC superiority. I'm really hoping words and looks are exchanged.

Duh, that's the only way we can fend off the powerful juggernaut that is Illinois State basketball. That's basically the only reason we win period is the huge disparity we have at the free throw line. Check the stats out for yourself.

Loser excuses made 48 hours before tipoff. Typical Redturd trash.

Holy cow it's deep over there.

I love how they pull a miracle out of a hat and now they're better than the team 3 games in front.

My meter just went to 11 for this game. Bring on the Turds.

That's definitely the face Shaq has when he shot blocks a fool.

It's absolutely mind-blowing logic. But given the source, it's par for the course.

That site is gonna be fun to read in 48 hours. The crash down to CBI earth is gonna be too good to miss.

That does look a lot like Shaq... Shaq can be a bad dude.

Interviewer: Do you hate ISR? Shaq Morris: No, I don't hate ISR, I pity them, and I will destroy them.

Of all places to break that rule, you pick the place where people believe the letters "IQ" are a weird way of spelling the number 10.

Last year, I felt there was no way we would lose the UNI game at home. I feel stronger about this one.

[Shockers5150]

First game should have been a thumping; this one will be. Baker and Fred will go off, and Evan will do what he does.

Very true.....

Look, I have said it before, isuR has talent. They have massively under-performed for years under Muller, but that doesn't mean they aren't playing well now.

They were getting blown out of the water by our guys, at their super bowl, before a 1-50+ set of occurrences. Maybe it will happen again, but I doubt it.

I don't think it will be a blowout...but they better be ready to rumble because our kids are going to come out with a resolve and intensity they haven't seen all year...not against Maryland and not at Kentucky.

Any word it there are expected special visitors for this special day?

Hello again Shocker fellas,

Well, here we are in the finale. We're playing well lately but no doubt you guys will be extra amped up for this one and the environment will be crazy. With the way some of our guys (notably Lee and Hawkins) have stepped up lately we've become a factor which is great considering the way Nov-Dec went. I'm optimistic we make a game out of it, and the National TV audience is treated to a good game at one of the best atmospheres in all of college hoops, as Koch has become over the years. This will be a huge challenge for us to say the least. I like you guys by 10, hopefully in a well-played, safe game.

I hope it doesn't turn into a whistle fest in the second half.
