WSU Versus Long Beach State Predictions and Pregame Discussion

[Fafhrd Mouser]

I saw that the over/under is 144. That seems high to me. Shockers play great defense.

The SCSU game, while fun to watch, hurts us more than helps. Playing such inferior talent did not prepare this team or knock any rust off. I'd venture to say that GM's practices are far tougher than what SCSU did.

LBSU is a big team, athletic and love to jack the three. While they not be as skilled across the board than us, their live and die by the three mentality will be the difference. I'm hoping the boys come out with some serious intensity, have totally forgotten about the game two days ago and front these guys every freakin' second of the game.

I think LBSU is off on their three game and we win by 17.

No injury predictions this go-around?

While LBSU is a legit opponent (early kenpom would put them #4 in the (sorry ass) MVC), if we have any realistic expectations of success this season then we should have some degree of confidence in coming out on top in this game. It's obviously early for kenpom, but he has WSU at something like an 89% likelihood of winning tonight.

long beach state reminds me of tulsa from last year. difference is we get them at home and not on the road, thank goodness.

Help---I thought this was on ESPN3---which says the game is blacked out for our area. Is this on Cox 22 as well?

89% seems high. But Vegas had us as a 10 pt favorite. So I'll just agree with and like your logic!

[Singeril]

Found it. Is on 22. Whew.

Does anyone have a link i could watch the game on by chance? ESPN3 has blacked it out for me

[Shocker Mama]

Who had us winning by 37?

I'm getting tired and sick of underestimating these Shocks!!! Wow! Our D. was stingy and our Offense looked fluid.

just download hotspot shield. its a VPN that you can use for free or pay $15 for 6 months of useage. This will allow you to get around any blackouts. Its what I use

I predicted a 24 point win. The BLeach is even worse than I thought.

Guess they were counting on LBSU's lack of defense and all those bunnies our defense would produce!
