I'm looking forward to this game...hopefully both teams play their best.

Wait - is there TV for this game?

This game will be intense. Everything is on the line for one game. Will be fun to watch. Wonder who will step up and make the big play.

Jamar are you crazy look at which team has handled the pressure in close games this year. It is not WSU if they face any kind of adversity they play tight and they can't afford to do that tomorrow.

Too bad some of the luster has worn off this game. The regular season title won't mean much this season. MSU and WSU have had their chances to prove they belong in the tourney as an at large team but have failed.

If MSU comes out fired up and shoots lights out in the first half the game will be theirs.

On the road, WSU has a pattern of playing close for the first half. And with about 8 minutes to go in the game they go on a big run to put their opponent away and cruise to victory.

WSU hasn't handled the pressure at home, but luckily they are the road team.

My take/hope is
WSU 67
MSU 59

WSU has had success in pressure games against LSU, UV, Tulsa, and UNI this year.

I've been counting this as a Shox win because I figured MSU would run out of gas with the short bench. They've shown some signs of that, but against SIU, they looked like they had a full tank.

No team has swept the road in the Valley since OU in 1925. That's the "official" word that I've heard, but I recall an InSU team with Larry Bird that went undefeated. Maybe the OU reference is to winning 9 road games with no losses. I think the Valley was smaller when Bird's Trees got the sweep.

Add Creighton to that list. I like the Shox on the road, looking forward to a good game.
