WSU VERSUS DRAKE PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[forevershockerfan]

Here's the deal. First of all, a moment of silence for the smitten blue-jay-birds who will get swept by our beloved Shocks this very Season. TSK, TSK, TSK!!!!!!! Now for the road game with the BullDawgs. Yes, we beat them around 19 here so they will be seeking revenge. Thus, it is good to know that our Shocks fear no team but will not understimate our foes. We will play through the Valley one game at a time and give it our best shot. Our quality depth will take charge about halfway though the 2nd half and we win by a crazy 8.

Shox -----73

Bullpups--65

[Snapshot9]

Shockers - 76
Dawgs - 66

[1979Shocker]

WSU 78
DU 63

[60Shock]

Since I picked us to lose the CU game and we won, I was tempted to use reverse psychology again, but wat the hell:

Shockers - 81
Bull Dogs - 72

[SubGod22]

Shox - 84
Dogs - 68

Shox regain focus and take care of business. Ehimen plays 12 minutes!

[shocker22]

Us - 74
Them - 62

[DUShock]

Shocks dominate...

[Awesome Sauce Malone]

Gal comes off the bench to score 20

[BOBB]

Gal comes off the bench to score 20

Which is amazing given that it takes the ball a full ten seconds to leave his hands once he starts his wind up.

And he liked the ball in his hands at crunch time so he could take the big shots? Not just everybody wants that spotlight. Right? Can u dig it? Groovy!!!!!!! He was #1 as was Double Dribble and FSF's hero--The Duke Tshomba and also Aaron Hogg wore #1. A blast from times past.

Fifth game in 12 days. Our depth comes into play again even witout Garrett. WSU 74-62.

After an embarrassing offensive performance against E-ville, Drake is shuffling the lineup for WSU to get more shooters on the floor. Wedel will run point for the first time this year in place of Alexander. Their other point guard, Frank Wiseler, who tore us up last year in DM, is out with an injury.

72-56 Shox.

Drake has also played the same number of games, on the same days, that the Shox have. Depth aside, Shox should prevail and I expect a big second half by our team. Rice needs to be blanketed and not allowed to get hot.

75-63 Shox.

It would be nice to get off to a fast start in this game, instead of trying to play from behind like we have the last couple of games. I definitely think Drake will come out looking for revenge, we'll have to bring our A game. Hopefully the inside combination of Durley, Ellis, and Blair will come through big tonight. My prediction:

WSU- 64
Drake- 59
