This game should be a war. It should be one of the better games on ESPN2 this season. That's what it should be.
I'm going with WSU in this game. I went with MSU at Springfield, so this isn't just a homer prediction. WSU has the better team. Front court is Lawson vs. 4 guys for WSU.
This isn't a "rivalry" game, but the coaches seem to hate each other. The players seem to hate each other. One team will handle the pressure of the rivalry and not go overboard with their motivation. I think Marshall beats Altman in that game.
I think Marshall is getting into Altman's head. I've seen a bit from Marshall that shows he will do that to gain an advantage (Ellis starting to disrupt an opponent).
I think Marshall will win th4e coaching battle and that will be enough to give the more talented Shox a road W in CU's house.
WSU - 83
CU (later) - 74
