WU 74
TU 63

If all that is true, I hope we do not give up 60.

I don't see their starting lineup going 0-fer in the assist column again. It was an interesting stat, but certainly a fluke. Getting better, pace of the game, and a late scoring surge against JR, Malone, Bush, Barney, Hamilton will help them.

But I wouldn't be surprised if we hold them in the low-to-mid 50s either.

...Unless the tickets were claimed by students but never used. I believe that has been the case in the past. Perhaps the AD should consider reducing the number of student tickets available and making the top half of the section GA

That problem is more under control now because students can get one game at a time and closer to when the game is played. We really need to advertise that lots of GA tickets are available before every game.

So far this season the ticket office has done a poor job advertising when tickets are released. I think its the general consensus of the students that if you don't go pick up the tickets within the first couple hours of their availability then they are gone. A few years ago this was the case when they released 3 games at a time, but now that they are released individually people are not picking them up at the same rate. I had a few tests last week and didn't realize the Tulsa pickup had already happened, so this morning I called the ticket office to see if there were tickets still available and they said there were. After work I'll go try and snag mine. Not sure who is in charge of marketing the release dates but overall I don't think much is said on the days that they are released to the students so there is no knowledge of the tickets even becoming available. If someone tweeted a count of how many remain students might have the games on their radar a bit more.

Probably sounds crazy to predict another team to score REALLY low again. I am not sure the Shox can or will guard like they have been every night. However, I can't imagine Tulsa's offense is better than LBSU coming in. Definately not the experience. And LBSU only put up 55 pts. I expect defense will be a high level again, but we don't shoot 3's quite as well.

Shox - 72
Tulsa - 49

Not televised?

Not televised?

That's good news, because that should mean the ESPN3 feed will not be blacked out locally.

I predict the shox win by 30+

WSU-85
Tulsa-50

Not televised?

Espn3 only i believe. Which means everyone can watch it.

[KC Shox]

I want this to be another 30 plus point win. After watching Tulsa last year celebrating like they won the National Championship against us, it gave me a serious case of the red ass and I would like to see some humiliation dispensed on our part.

88-48 Shox by 40 If Tulsa has 20 or less turnovers. More than 20, and it could really get out of hand.

I had forgotten about that, but since you mentioned it, it started coming back to me. Didn't they storm the court?

[SHOCKvalue]

Context.

Be thankful all that we have to complain about - fan support wise - are oddball games when the last few rows of the student section aren't filled, or when small pockets of the big money seats aren't occupied.

^This is Tulsa's crowd during the intros from their last game on Friday. This is a program with some respectable lineage, history, and pride, and it looks like they're playing a HS game at East High.

Damn.

But he has no puppies to put in. We have a roster full of pit bulls.
