WSU vs. CU - Pre-game thread

[kcshocker11]

66 to 65 Shoxs!

[Rosewood]

CU is held to two points (buzz beater) in the first half thanks to our D. Due to a clerical error in NCAA regulations, they will lose those two points on an intentional foul late in the second half. CU fans will throw their empty beer cups on the flour in disgust and get the team a Technical foul, causing the last player to be ejected and WSU wins by default (no official score is given).

If we shoot 2-18 three pointers and 48% from the free throw line like we have been doing recently then what ever score we get double it for Creighton. If we do a lot better then I say CU by seven 67 - 60.

:goshocks:

I don't want to get too detailed, but this is how it turns out ...

Creighton big man fouls out with just around 1 minute to go.
Shox are losing by 2 with under 10 seconds to go.
2-ball goes up and ties it up, taking it into overtime.
Shox win in OT on last second shot by Hannah -- narrow victory to WSU due to big man foul trouble by Creighton.

Final score too complicated to call due to OT. :D

Just saw this a few minutes ago on ESPN2 during the Northwestern State vs Arkansas game. They were talking about John Pelphrey and how he is a good young coach and they showed a graphic that said best coaches ages 40-49. Here is the list.

John Pelphrey 40
Shawn Miller 41
Thad Matta 41
Mark Few 45
Jay Wright 46
Jim Christian 42
Brian Gregory 41
Gregg Marshall 44
Randy Bennent 44
Jamie Dixon 43

Thought that it was pretty cool.

My predictions for the game:

- Dana Altman will do that little clap every time his players remember to run in the right direction.

- P'Athetic Stinnett will beat his breast, in celebration and not, as it would be hoped, in humility.

- Creighton fans will get plowed and demonstrate, once again, what a good Catholic looks like.

- Creighton will once again use the full-court Altar Boy defense, which is illegal in 13 states. (Also known as "40 minutes of Purgatory.")

- Pope Benedict will issue a statement that all other MVC teams play a "wounded" version of basketball, will immediately be interviewed by Jay Bilas.

- Altman will eat bacon for his pregame meal, then throw it up at halftime.

We will also see more flops than one would from an average trip to the fresh fish market.

Ok, 71 to 69 ... SHOX. "You may say I'm a dreamer ... but I'm not the only one." -John Lennon Ugh, can't believe I just quoted that commie.

This is the game we finally start making some 3's. Unfortunately, the Jays make more.

Creighton 71
Wichita 68

[SpanglerFan316]

We need at least a split from Creighton this Season. Can you imagine the 'shot of confidence' for our young team if we could win this early road game? Here goes!!!!!!! Graham drains a 3 right down the hatch at the buzzer.

Went to St Lewy(LA) by Omaha (Shox)----65

The 'Do Drop In' Blue Birds------------------62

FSF, I like you, but really, a win at their place?!? When was the last time we won at their joint? I might have been in gradeschool the last time it happened. Predict with your brain, not your heart.

If you're betting money, predict with your brain. If your prediction is "free" (as here), predict wirh your heart.
:goshocks:

Shocks 1,000,000
Jays with the blues 2 :lol:

Decent analogy, but realistic fans usually don't have to worry about a letdown. It's a nice preventative measure for stress.

If the Shocks don't score at least 500 points, I'm going to be extremely disappointed and terribly letdown. :lol:
