Wichita State vs August (Exhibition) predictions and pregame discussions

[ShockerPhi]

Shocker basketball is just over 24 hours away!

I still don't know what to expect. We could put up 100 or we could struggle early before finally getting it together just before halftime. Either way, it'll be a lot of fun watching our new guys in a game.

Shockers - 88
August - 52

Related: Paul Suellentrop tweeted that there are 500 GA tickets available through the ticket office for only $12. This sale starts at 2pm today an lasts until 2 am Nov. 5th (weird)

Which comes out to less than 3 cents per ticket. No more complaining about not being able to afford it! Recycle cans, bring the family!

Augusta doesn't have a lot of height (three sophomore 6-8 post players) -- but they do have a 2X D-II AA guard in 5-9 Keshun Sherrill, who averaged 23.3 ppg last season as a junior. They lost their top rebounder and three-point specialist from last year but are picked to win the league this year.

They're psyched for this one, with three Augusta restaurants holding official watch parties.

If someone needs a loan to buy one of those $0.03 tickets, i can float you a few copper coins, BUTS ITS JUST A LOAN!!!

I would like to see us get out and stretch our wings a bit. I don't wanna see us playing tight. Play hard, play fast and start getting an identity for what we are without Ron and Fred.

I predict an amped up Augusta team ready to leave it on the floor punching us in the mouth for a while. Coach lets the young-uns play under some pressure. Predicted starters come in near the end and settle things down and we win by less than 20. Or, you know, McGill.

On the $12 per ticket that is online only starting at 2pm ... http://www.goshockers.com/news/2016/...lash-sale.aspx

If you go to the ticket office it's $22. If you got them today before seeing the sale ... to bad.

You're telling me they let you pay the $22 without telling you about the $12 promo first?

Yep. I called them back up and they didn't know about the deal and they had to talk with a boss. Found out it was online only and tickets (as always) have no refunds.

[ShockerFever]

Wow, that's cute.

Why would a ticket office know about a ticket promotion?

That's honestly pretty sleezy.

I'd lean towards non-prepared. Of course online tickets have extra fees so I lost $32 instead of $40.

Here's the deal. For a change, I am going to focus on things such as defense instead of being so offensive minded. Next, I like our 'bigs committee' and am in hopes that we are a very solid rebounding team again. We can expect some highs and lows with so many new players so patience may become a virtue. Who will emerge as our starting point guard, our leaders, our go to players? Stay tuned because this will be another fun Season of Shocker basketball. I predict that Shaq, MM, and Willis will each score 11 as will #11. Austin will come off the bench and score 10.

Shockers--88
Augusta---66
