WSU Versus Oklahoma Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[WuDrWu]

If you're referring to a Vegas line with regards to an upset, then I'm guessing on this game it would technically be us pulling off the upset. I doubt we're the favorites.

I bet WSU opens a 4X favorite.

[another shocker]

1. We have ten above average players
2. We don't have ANY great players
3. We are not a top 20 team................yet. Deserve a 30-35 ranking
4. Need to win our next two to climb to the top 25. Could happen.
5. MM, SM, and CF all have to elevate their games for that to happen.
6. Win the next two and we could possibly win out the regular season.
7. And the MVC tournament
8. RK, ZB, DW and DS have to prove they can play with the big boys
9. Wild cards AR-15 and DS - are they as good as they have looked so far?
10. Shocks 69-66 Saturday

they look top-40'ish to me.

lol

Not winning by enough?

Is there an OU board that has any basketball activity? I went to LandThieves to see what the fans might be thinking but they are still locked into football mode.

Shocks - 75

Sooners - 65

I bet Wichita St opens around -5 to -7 range. They were favored against Louisville and Michigan St on neutral sites...i'll guarantee they're favored over Oklahoma.

Thank you @RoyalShock:. I figured there had to be a few of them that liked basketball. I didn't take into account that they play ORU tonight so there might be activity on Landthieves after tonight.

OU-Oral Roberts is on a Fox xtra channel, or some other, tonight (76?). I'll scout the Sooners again, this'll be my third opportunity, and have a more educated guess as to the outcome.

I'm hoping we don't bring any of what I saw last night to Oklahoma this weekend.

You mean 25% opponent FG shooting, 40% 3-point shooting, 76% free throw shooting, +23 rebounding margins, 30 point margins of victory, etc?

Me neither.

It's sad but I kind of agree with him. The numbers all look great, but i came away slightly dissappointed from a 30 point win over an A10 squad. There was lots of good, but there was also a lot of mistakes that a team better than St. Louis would have punished us for. Guess it's not the worst situation to be in.

So, how about we leave those mistakes at home and bring the first half defense and the things Fever mentioned to Oklahoma, rather than bringing none of what we saw last night?

I was strictly going by statistics. Bad teams can make good teams look bad and I think that's what happened last night. There was nothing sexy about the W, mainly because how inept SLU was, but I will take those statistics for the OU game.

Complaining about 30 point wins, including holding teams to 9 points in a half. Go figure.

I know what you are saying. I just remember telling myself last night while I was watching that this game just felt weird. Dominating performance without being like "wow we are good". Just lots of weird plays, hard to explain.

SLU was playing to not lose by 60. So, in that regard, their gameplan worked. They were sitting in a soft zone and running the clock on offense. If they had played to win, I bet we would have challenged 100 again.

let's just hope that frankamp doesn't shoot against ou like he shot against slu.
