Bears v. Shox, Wednesday 7pm CST

Agreed - I don't see WSU losing back to back games.[/quote]


Has happened once this year. Alababma and Temple...I don't have a good feeling about this one. MSU fans will be pumped and Weems always loves to stick it to WSU.

I guess all games are must win games. But this is a must win for the Shockers for obvious reasons, and the Bears as well for position.

The Bears saw Drake beat Wichita and I think that makes MSU pretty dangerous tonight.

It seems what I have seen of Mo State besides Weems that is impressive is Gulley and Downing.
They seemed pretty athletic and can score at times.

Plus I always found Springfield a hard place to win, and I am sure the crowd will be up for the game.

I will be surprised if this is an easy win for the Shocks.

Must win to stay in the Valley Championship hopes, don't know if it is a must win to keep an at large just yet. WSU's RPI today is 32 and MSU is 80 accourding to Real Time RPI. Don't think that would qualify as a bad loss.

definitely not an easy win for the Shox, never is against the Bears. A win would be a huge boost to get them back on track though.

Pregaming starts....now

Go Bears!

If Patterson is out, the Bears have to sag on D to block passing lanes to Stutz or Stutz goes off for 30+. If the Shox have their touch from 3 back, and the Bears sag, it will rain 3's in JQH.

If I were Lusk, I'd force the Shox to win from the 3-point line. If the Bears guard tight on the perimeter, Stutz against Kirk on the block is suicidal for the Bears.

I do realize that my opinion is worth exactly how much I get paid to coach.

Pretty insightful for a non coach and a Shocker fan to boot. I agree with everything you say here.

Should be an interesting game. And I do think we've got a shot at winning. I wouldn't bet any $$ on it though.

Hey, the Shox have a lot of very knowledgeable fans. Some choose to hide their vast basketball knowledge and do a very good job of that.

Yes I know that and my comment about Shox fans was mostly tongue in cheek. Although one or 2.......
But you probably think the same about a Bears fan or 2.

Can't wait for the game.

Shox 20
Bears 26

[shocktheheart]

Lot of block and charge fouls on both teams and I don't know if the refs have gotten any of the calls right. 26-20 MSU 6:47 left in half
