I look for more fast breaks this game and possibly 6 in double figures. (Maybe the 6th player will have 8 or 9).

Shockers 88
Ark Mont 63

Very impressive win by Weevils over Crowley's Ridge College. Made CRC's loss to Ecclesia Bible College earlier this year look very mild in comparison.

88-61, Shockers.

Reggie Britton's old team 73

Kudos to best phrases so far:


WSU - MadaboutWu for Anthropomorphic Wheat Creature

Ark-M - shocks771 for Fighting Back of the Nickels w/ pic.

Shox -- 85
Bugs -- 60

I understand Doc's mentality, but I do NOT expect any upsets here. Our guys will easily take care of business.

Last year it might have been different, but our guys have been through some battles and let teams (UMKC comes to mind) who had no business beating us beat us, but I would like to believe we've learned from our mistakes.

Funny indeed! It's one thing to have a mascot be a fictitious man made of wheat (WU), but another to have one that's a pest insect.

Time to squash some bugs!

Nice job paying attention!

I too am a little uneasy about this one. If we're a strong bunch, we should already know not to undervalue an opponent and put the clamps on 'em.

Arky Jefferson - 58

Call me crazy, but this game screams trap to me.

Everyone is focused on Pitt, we are down 2 PGs, this is a DII program that was good last year and has a successful DI head coach that has brought in a lot of new pieces and they destroyed the opposition in game 1 (and I know that was a small school to say the least). Their size (height) is almost the same as ours, almost unheard of when playing a lower division school.

I just don't think this is your average DII program and if they aren't getting our full attention now, they just might by the end of the game.

I kind of have the same feeling about it being a trap game. I sure hope the players don't feel they can just walk on the court and win. Sounds like this DII team deserves some respect and the Shox will have to play hard. No question Arkansas Monticello will be pumped and ready to go, we have to match the intensity. IF we do that we should be able to win somewhat comfortably but if the team lets up....who knows.

That said I'm gonna say we have too many weapons offensively and the boys play a fairly complete game defensively (I hope):

Shox - 78
Monticello - 63

I don't think Doc is predicting an upset...especially given his prediction. I think he's just warning everyone that this is the type of a game that sometimes spells trouble for the best of teams. Shox should definately win, but it is possible they could struggle some. This team, on paper, is better than Newman.

After the game the AR-M players will be singing:
