Good man!! Haha!

WSU has a larger margin of victory than Arizona which is a meaningless stat much like the margin of loss stat. The teams don't play the same schedule.

I'd disagree. I thought you guys compared favorably to a Valley team. You scored more than Vandy though.

It's kind of an event!!!

GO SHOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Shocks did it and did it big. It was not always like this here on SN. We spoke of these successful days to come at 2 in the morning on work nights many moons ago even after losses. It makes wins like these all the more sweeter.

Maybe I misunderstood the point here. Did he mean meaningless because of the level we play at? If he did, he found out what the Valley's all about.

If I misunderstood his point because it got lost in translation, well, he never took the time to explain so when I asked him.

Our D was tougher than anything he sees in the Pac 10/12. Utah was a witness.

I for one am pleased with the results. Please keep it up.

Predictions...

Shox lose from here on out shooting below 30% from 3.

The defense is as reliable as the sun rising in the east. Hit shots, win. Throw up bricks, lose. It is nearly that simple now.

I'm going out on a limb and predicting a 40%+ night from 3 and a win over Zona by 10. Last night's shooting was better, but the Shox are due to finally find a goal without a lid. Last night wasn't it. Maybe such a goal exists in Rhode Island.

3/20 - 15%... Yet won easily.

Hey, at least I got the 10 pt margin right.

This team is bonkers.

Isn't nice when you're mostly right. If we can find our offense to go with this defense, o' man look out.

Predictions...
Shox win any game against anyone if they shoot 40% from 3, period.
Shox beat anyone except elite opponents playing at the top of their game if they shoot 35% from 3. (37% last night + mediocre Vandy not even playing their best = 20 point win)
Shox play nailbiters shooting 30-35% from 3.
Shox lose from here on out shooting below 30% from 3.

You nailed it, shox shot 15% so congrats to Arizona as the move on to play miami...
Lol

To be fair, I got my ass handed to me yesterday by Mr Hilton until wsu and the zags bailed me out late, but there are no absolutes, when you play that kind of defense. We sat next to a pack of Zona alum, their mood went from giddy playing wsu to knowing it was over 10 min in
