ESPNU-Televised Fairleigh Dickinson Game Predictions

[WstateU]

It's gonna suck not having Hannah, but as marty said, this team is flat-out horrible. Hannah or not, we should win this one in blowout fashion.... emphasis on the word "should"...

If we could get by with Clevin only missing FDU and the Boll Weevils we will have dodged a bullet.

... the large one!

85-62 Shockers.

I think our defense will be much better this game. We will see more traditional line-ups on the floor. Our offense won't be the same without Hannah, but I'm still expecting a pretty decent outing on offense. I was pretty close with my prediction of the Shocker's points against Newman, but was off on how many points Newman will score.

With that said:

WSU - 79
FDU - 61

I think Stutz will score 22 points and 7 rebounds as he will have a huge size advantage.

Shocks 82
FDU 59

Shocks 82
FDU 59

I don't know if he sees the floor often, but they have a 7'2" center.

There roster lists there 7 foot 2 inch center as weighing 205 pounds....

Shocks 82
FDU 59

I don't know if he sees the floor often, but they have a 7'2" center.

I think he was going off the FDU roster originally listed on the topic regarding opponents rosters. That one wasn't the correct one. Size won't be a HUGE advantage...but I would expect athleticism and strength will be.

Sean Baptiste is the player to watch out for on the Knights. He's a 6'3" Senior guard. He averaged 18.5 ppg as a sophmore and 16.3 ppg as a junior. I will point out though, even though he was the 4th leading scoring in their conference...we are talking about the Northeast conference. Also, against some better non-conf teams he didn't fair as well...at least at scoring:

2008-2009

@ Pitt - 9pts, 33% FG, 2 rebs, 3 assist, 2 turnovers, 2 steals, 27 mins
@ Washington St - 10 pts, 23.1% FG, 9 rebounds, 0 assist, 2 to's, 34 mins
@ Mississippi St - 5 pts, 8.3% FG, 11 boards, 1 steal, 21 mins

It does look like he can get to the glass pretty well though.

The one good thing for our Shox though, and something to keep in mind when trying to predict a final score. FDU had a defense that allowed a league-high 76.1 points per game....

[1979Shocker]

I agree about the defense being better this game.

Shockers 83
Knights 62

[DUShock]

Shocks by 16. It'll be ugly but a win is in the works.

Go Shocks!

[Shockakhan]

College on the Hackensack River - 63

University near the Arkansas River - 79

I'm Fairleighly confident of this score.

Go Shox! :yahoo:
