90-69 Shocks.

Hold on everybody. Chicago St. Was a common opponent. Drake's margin of victory was actually bigger. By this comparison there is no reason to think the Shox win.
I think WSU finds a way to scratch out a hard fought 30 pt victory.

UE is better than Drake.

UE is better than Drake.

Perhaps, but Drake has a LOT more talent than Evansville.

[shockball]

Bulldogs slow it down to keep the differnce less than 30. 74-45 Shox.

[ShockerFever]

We should outrebound the Bullpups by about 40.

Hopefully that translates into a victory of similar magnitude.


DU - 51
WSU - 75

The one area that Drake could have success against us is 3-pt shooting (we are 9th in the conferece - all games- in 3FG% defense). On the flip-side they have the best 3FG% defense so the Shocks need to pound it inside to open up the perimeter.

Should Drake get hot from behind the arc they could keep it reasonably close. Their rebounding is awful so they better hope the shots are falling. I don't see us running away in a 20+ blowout.

That said . . .

WSU - 76
DU - 60

Big games from our big guys.
