We always perform best under the radar and with chips on our shoulders.

I think our biggest problem last year aside from Fred's injury was the seniors put WAY too much pressure on themselves. This year, just go out and ball and have fun.

One thing that will not be any issue this year is seniors putting too much pressure on themselves.

Very bold prediction here. I like it.

Absolutely -- if Simon has an occasion to put too much pressure on himself, that would not bode well for the season.

Yeah, I'm not betting on that but gee I don't know about Zach Bush. He could screw up my prediction. But I think I will stick with it.

That said I think both J.R. and Zach are both valuable members of this team.

According to AC2G on the MVC Coaches Conference Call, Simon is one of the leaders of the guards, as far as teaching the young guys their jobs and stuff.

I'm sure both will be worthwhile guys to have around and that Simon especially will be a leader in showing the new guards the ropes, Shocker style. But I suspect the greatest pressure either is likely to impose on himself is to hit that first three pointer of the season -- especially in Zach's case. It's been a long time since he put one on the board.

Coach Marshall has a history of having a very good supporting cast of players. They may not see the limelight as much as others, but are important as leaders and morale boosters.

Not even a Landry Shamet mention? lol, boy is that kid gonna surprise a person or two.

I also love the first comment posted after the article. KU fans are the most insecure fans on the planet. It's beyond comical.

Maybe if you are a fan of a team with a bird mascot you are pre-disposed to be a giant toolbag. Something to consider moving forward.

This accurately describes the regular KSU fan vs KU fan dribble I see on my facebook feed.

Accurate representation of the mascots too, really.
