WSU VERSUS BRADLEY PREDICTIONS AND PREGAME DISCUSSIONS

[jdmee]

It will either be:

1. Bradley hits every shot they take during the first half and the Shocks can't hit the broad side of the out-house. But then the Shox, after GM's ass chewing in the locker room, come storming back the second half and win by 25.

2. Or, the Shcx come ready to play the first half and build up a 25 point lead. They then coast the second half with even the water boy getting a few minutes and win by 30.

Isn't about time coach starts giving the Halftime speech before the game?

I don't make point predictions as I have said before, HOWEVER, I will say that if the Shoxs do not give the Braves some respect (however little) and think this will be very one-sided (as some on here have predicted), we could be in a lot of trouble.

Don't underestimate a desperate team (ala Eville last year). That being said, I too think the Shox handle the Braves easily (unless we come out with our heads up our collective asses).

This game has "danger" written all over. Bradley is a dangerous team right now from this aspect - they don't want to lose all their games. So if they have any pride at all they will likely lay it all out on the court until they get that first win, then they might call it quits after that.

Bradley may be 0-10 in conference, but they are not getting blown out. They are a middle of the pack scoring team in the MVC, where they are hurt is their defensive effort. Alll it would take is another slow start and WSU continues to miss open 3point looks and someone to have a career day for some Bradley player - if that happens then Bob Lutz will have his column for next week to rival his Evansville column from last year.

I'm hoping the Shocks come out focused and get Orupke some playing time and some players get some confidence for the stretch drive.

Blow out for the Shocks.

I hope everyone hangs around at halftime for the Hall of Fame Inductions.

Sara Younes Butler, Travis Wycoff, Tim Raley and Ryan Barkdull.

All well-deserved. I am a little surprised it took this long to get Travis and Tim in. I suppose that's mostly a reflection of the depth of our baseball program during its first 20 years.

:good: :goshocks: :clap:

But those silent halftime locker rooms are so awkward. I never know what to do with my hands.
