Shox @ Redbirds - 2/22

by **shockem** » February 22nd, 2012, 8:26 am

Everyone is waiting for the Shockers to drop the ball. At some point our shooting must cool off. Last meeting, the shockers lead by 19 points in the 2nd half only to let the lead evaporate before sneaking out with a win. Nic Moore had a huge game. This one could really go either way but I feel like the Shockers are on a mission and not ready for a let down. Shox in a close one win by 4 points.

Shox are on a mission and the redbirds struggled to beat Oakland. Shox by double digits on the road...

WSU getting a lot of press locally and nationally. Hopefully they don't start believing the hype and focus on the game at hand.

Interesting article about a game that took place between the shox and the birds 30 years ago with comparisons to this game.

As a Redbird fan, I think it's best for the conference if WSU wins. Can't believe I said that, but my vision is long term...

How does WSU winning tonight help the redbirds long term? That's what you should be considering. How about, let's win this game and stay out of Thursday. I also don't want to see WSU celebrating their stand alone conference championship on our court.

I think WSU will wait until Saturday night at home to do any celebrating. They will definately not be cutting any nets down tonight if they win.

Cutting nets on an opponent's court is extra poor form.
