Shox-I have no earthly idea
Dogs-ditto

[ShoxFan963]

I think this will be a good matchup(hopefully).
Drake is 5-4 and only average five more points per game.

[SubGod22]

After last nights performance I'm not sure what to think.

Shox - 56
Dogs - 68

[ShoxFan963]

If we hustle after loose balls and rebounds unlike the last game, we should have a good chance.

Shox-67
Dogs-62

Home court advantage wins this one.

[ShoxFan963]

Someone needs to get hot like Toure or Clevin even GS or JT-Their tallest player is a freshman that doesn't play next in line is Johnathan Cox(6'8")

we need to win the rest of our home game this year to have a chance to stay out Thursday's play in game, and i think we will do it.

shox 65
dogs 58

I'm never going to make a prediction based on whether or not the team will "show up", but how I think they can do with a solid effort.

That said,

Shocks - 66
B'dogs - 60

We are too far in the hole to get out of the Thursday play-in Game

[ShockerNut2305]

no were not im sure that you also thought we would still be playing to stay out of last place now and 0-10 nothing is impossible

I am not saying it's impossible but it's not likely; we have a young team and were not a premiere team in the Valley this year.

lol.. believe it or not if Drake holds off UE, which they're leading by 10 at the half, and if MSU upends SIU tonight (ya, I know, big if), then we're 1 game back of 6th.

Do I personally think we're gonna make it out? No. Is it impossible though? Believe it or not, no.


We reverted back to our NBA-style one-on-one offense for the BU game. That type of offense is going to continue to give us L's. It's not a matter of whether the 'shots are going in', it's whether we can run an offense and make an extra pass for an easier basket then the typical 20-30 foot jumper we settle with, with 30 seconds remaining on the shot clock.

I'll hold back on a prediction as of right now.

Couldn't have said it better myself :good:

Except EU did to Drake what we did to EU......except worse.


A real Larissa Sevchenko by the Geese this afternoon.

Ya, major chokejob by Drake today. That officially seals it. We are a play-in team. (Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone though).
