WSU-Creighton Predictions

[ShockerFever]

I want a convincing win no cadillacking, no let downs, 40 minutes of focused effort protecting our house and let the margin be the margin.

This one is more about showing some maturity than anything else as far as Im concerned

I want to see Dana melt down. I predict a 75% chance of a Dana Meltdown in Koch Arena on Saturday.

This to both quotes.


This team needs to be out to kill on Saturday. No BS this time. sCUm is probably gonna be up for the game. Afterall, they've won two in a row (over Evansville and Drake). It's the role reversal. sCUm is looking to prove they aren't bad and we are trying to crush a bad team in its corner.

This is WAR. The crowd BETTER be INTO IT. ALL GAME. Pounce and destroy. No LET UP.

sCUm - 63
WSU - 76

OK, I believe the Shox will beat sCUm, but I'm somewhat amazed that 14 of 15 legit predictions are double digits wins and have almost a 19 point spread average.

Yes, we have good reason to especially get up for this game, but sCUm can be a real thorn in our side. If we can play a more complete game, yes we can have a big win. Unfortunately, the last 18 minutes of last nights ball game is still very vivid in my memory and that type of play has not been an isolated case recently.

We are the better team and should win both here and there, but until I see more consistency, I'll go 75-68.

I understand the concerns but I think the picks are less about WSU and more about the way CU has played this year. Honestly, most nights that CU has been on the road, it would be hard not to pick "Alabama School for the Visually Impaired" by double digits.

As I've said earlier this season, this Shocker team will get its 70 points, the question is how many the other team will get:

WSU 74
Creighton 48

And that will be after Bryce, Mason, and Tater go in for the last five minutes. I'm also predicting a P'Allen Stinnett technical about the time the Shox go up by 20.

:clap: :wsu_posters: :yahoo: :clap:

WSU is the better team and should win easily. BUT, when WSU and CU play you can throw the stats out the window. There's not alot of blowouts.

CU 67
WSU 72

BTW, i'm undefeated picking the WSU games in Valley play :D

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

If we dont beat that school in Nebraska then whats the point of playing at all.

[1972Shocker]

I was looking to see if Drake made a run late in the game to close a bigger gap in the final score (ala TT vs the Shocks).

Based on the box score play-by-play CU did have a 9 point lead with about 4 minutes to go, although it was pretty much a 3-6 point game over the last 3 minutes. CU was up only by 71-69 when Drake regained possession with around 4 seconds to go on a turnover/steal by Kenny Lawson/Ryan Wedel.

The steal must have been in backcourt because Wedel immediately took and missed a jumper. Josh Young missed a follow attempt and Cavel Witter was fouled and hit two free throws to close out the game.

At least the Shocks escape was against a quality team on the road.

While CU played Michigan tough on a nuetral floor and gave New Mexico a good game on the road they don't seem to be playing real well in more recent games. However, we always seem to struggle with these guys.

I would love to see a blowout and I want to see the Shocks play well, but I will take a win anyway we can get it.

Shocks 71
BlueJays 64

[tropicalshox]

I would love to see CU just totally Shocked. A whole game for the first time this season and a blowout. It probably will not happen but I expect a fairly comfortable win.

Shocks 71-CU 61

[shock4life]

well we beat drake by 23 at home and creighton beat drake by 4 at home. So if you put that together wsu should win by 19 !! but I think we will pressure them the whole game and make them pay for what they did last year!!!



WSU : 86
BJ's : 59

For those of you out there that love irony and Matty P, you'll love this podcast of his show. I listen to his show (and other shows on this station) every now and again to get my fix of Hawkeye Football.

This segment was yesterday and I thought some of you might enjoy it with CU coming to town Saturday. It starts with his show being hosted from the "Iowa Sleep Disorders Center Studio". :shock: If that's not enough the segment (about a minute in) is Matty P making fun of stupid questions from the media. I think Matt knows a little about asking stupid questions.

And I'll say Shox 69-61.

[shock10]

Wheat 71

Bird 74

[forevershockerfan]

Here's the deal. Last time we played the BlueJays, we spent the longest few seconds of our life which allowed their late shot to count. Thus, it is time to sweep and clip the wings of these lucky birds starting Saturday. Justice will prevail!!!!!!! You'll see---You'll see!!!!!!!


SHOX--77

BLUE-BLUE--70

[shoxilla]

HiVoltage -99 (AE misses last free throw)
HeavySuperComputer-66

[shockerfan]

Marshall is known to let off the gas pedal in the 2nd half so to not run up scores once the Shox have a 15-20 point lead. If the Shox get to that point Saturday, I don't think Marshall will take the foot off the pedal in this one. And I am cool with that! :D

[shockar25]

Men in Blue -- 62
Men in Yellow -- 80
