WSU Versus UNI Predictions and Pregame Discussions

[Shocker1976]

Shox by 25. Wife and I will be cheering from afar this weekend. Well ****. It looks like we are in Australia.

A Newman sweat???

With the 8th slowest pace in D1 (Haslametrics), UNI will try and keep the score really low in this game. And despite that pace, it won't make a difference in the outcome of the game. Shox still win and even though many of the prognosticators are predicting high double digits, I'd be surprised if we win by more than 15. I would love to see us just crush them and it's certainly possible. I think we hold them under 55.

Ron and Fred are both in town today. I don't know what that means for the weekend.

Good lord, I just hope that if those two are in the Roundhouse on Saturday, Conner doesn't go back to his old ways of deferring to those two! :stupid:

Not one but two special guests will join @mitchholthus and me on ESPN2 on Saturday's @UNImbb vs @GoShockers basketball game. Can you guess?

UNI has exactly 2 posts on their board for the game tomorrow.

One of them did make me laugh though:

We're gonna come out swinging, Spencer's gonna get his groove back, Juwan's gonna rip and cut like Washpun on steroids, and Morgan's gonna get a 5x5. We're gonna be locked in on defense, and play one of our best games of the year.

Shockers by 20.

Spread opens at WSU -17.5.

So Vegas DOESN'T think that UNI's "win streak" is impressive?

Not when a winning streak pulls up to Koch Arena.

The major prognosticators are once again unanimous, in favor of the Shockers on the "Road":

Nolan +27.0
Massey +20.0
RPI Forecast +19.4
Sagarin +21.1
Vegas +17.5

I'll go with the unanimous verdict and take WSU by 31:

"Up 12, with 44 seconds remaining" - 53
Shockers - 84

Late in the second half in a close game against Bradley one of the UNI television analysts stated that UNI's closing schedule with both Wichita State and Illinois State presented them with an opportunity. I can't see how.

shox by 25 (75-50)

Please Shockers, do not read this thread. Overconfidence will bite you! I hate the Raiders, but all I can think about is this:

Wasn't able to make last year's UNI game because of a family funeral so essentially my home steak is still intact. My streak will still be intact tomorrow due to a methodical disection of UNI and a comfortable margin of victory with lotsa time for my afternoon nap. It's all good.

Shocks up 15 at the haft and 28 at the final buzzer.
