What kind of record do you think the Lady Shocker basketball team will finish with this year?
If you want to participate predict the Shocks regular season including non-confernece record, MVC record and overall record. Also guess the average point spread in MVC road games (this will be the tiebreaker) so no duplicate predictions allowed. Winner gets bragging rights.
Predictions must be in by 2:00 PM, Sunday November 15th.
The Shocks have a pretty weak non-con schedule and the only stumbling blocks I see are Colorado State and Kent State on the road and SMU in the Bahamas. In the MVC I think we will double our win total from last year's 4 MVC wins. Two years ago we were absolutely horrible on the road in the MVC losing by an average of 25.2 PPG. Last year we improved to a minus 15.6 PPG differential (thanks to a 2 point road win over Bradley 2 nights after losing by 32 to UNI). I think we will improve on that stat again this year.
My predictions:
Non-Conference: 8-3
MVC Conference: 8-10
Overall Record: 16-13
MVC Road Game Avg Margin: Minus 8.7 PPG
I will say that after seeing the Ladies at Shocker Madness and in their Exhibition vs Newman I would not be at all surprised if they don't exceed these expectations. However, we are very inexperienced and I'm still not sure how good our interior game on both ends of the floor will hold up.
