WSU Versus S. Carolina State Predictions and Pregame Discussion

[another shocker]

HCGM has made it clear that he wants vocal leadership from his point guard and yes, he likes mentally tough players. He did compliment Conner for some improvement in these areas. I've read some of your thoughts on Conner and you seem to be cheering him to fail. I hope not.

definitely not wanting him to fail. definitely think that reaves is the pg of the future at Wichita state.

Direct TV users: this game is listed as being on channel 788. I'm new to Direct TV so I have no idea if this is a channel I will really get or if it will be blacked out, but I have it set to record!

Directv typically has a free week preview of college full court, so i'm betting that very well may be what that is.

That clarifies your view a little. The KU soft comment is what confused me. I don't disagree that Reaves may be the point guard of the future. I think that his skill set is fantastic. However, being a point guard as a Freshman unless they are "elite" out of high school is very difficult and problematic and while he will be a nice shooter, his handles are second to none, and his height is a great advantage, he is not an elite athlete. My contention is that if he is our main point guard this year, it will mean that our team is not very good. Our only hope, to be good, imo is that Conner and Daishon come along to become what HCM envisions them to be.

Apparently, ESPN full court no longer exists

Game preview is up on Shockerhoops.net now.

It's close early but hopefully the guys already used up their first game jitters.

SC State is a decent team picked towards the top of their league but we should never come close to losing to a MEAC school at home. Ever.

WSU 75
SCSU 62

I'm leaving for the game in 25 minutes or so.

This may have answered already but is this game on ESPN 3?

Yes
