WSU vs Drake (what WSU has to do)

[SB Shock]

WSU needs to quickly regroup and regain their confidence and hold serve on their own court.

Drake facts:

1. Drake is giving up 71.1 pts per game. WSU needs to score 80+.

2. Drake loses the 2nd half. WSU needs a complete game.

3. Drake is outrebounded by 6.2 per game.

4. Drake only draws 3963 per game. They used to playing in a morgue. Fan need to make it uncomfortable for Drake, not allow them to get excited about playing in front of real fan base.

5. Drake does hit 39.4% of the 3pts, but their D also gives up 39.2% of the 3pt.

6. Drake D allows their opponents to shoot 46.6% from the field.

7. Drake shoots 76.7% from the FT line. Shox need to play tough D without fouling. Don't play to Drake strengths.

We need to come out and demoralize the Pups. And frankly, after Tuesday's performance, we should.

If we don't win this one by 20+, I will be severely disappointed.

No game in the valley this year will be easy, or will any game be a blowout in the true sense of the word. I could see WSU having around a 12-14 point lead most of the game and then in the final 2 minutes or so that is when they blow it open. This is valley play not Alcorn State Play.

And make drivers out of the 3 point shooters. Get up in their grill.

I must've missed your prediction for last game.

Can't call people out on scores when you don't have the balls to lay one out yourself.. :good:

In the Valley, a win is a win. I'll take it--I'm not picky (except for the winning part).

45% of Drake's shots are 3's. It looks like their opponents have followed this lead. We have to get the ball inside on offense. They can't match up with JT, GS and Mr. Blair.

I'm pretty sure that not even most Redbird fans would have predicted what occurred.

No, you didn't. I find the whole "lets pick WSU to win" crowd a little simplistic and borish.

2nd, why would I want to predict against WSU - that was the only sane bet. Anybody that has been around this program knows that WSU usually loses when they go to Normal. Therefore, they also know that it would take a complete game by WSU to come away with a win - which is something this team hasn't did yet - play a complete game this year.

Can't call people out on scores when you don't have the balls to lay one out yourself.

Sure you can. If people want to say stupid things on message board then they are going to be held accountable. If you want to play "prophet" then you get your just due when your wrong.
