Shockers vs Platanus occidentalis

I don't know anything about the Trees. Do they have any athletes? Any big players down low? Should the Sh0x destroy them or are we going to have our hands full?

Trees don't have a Carl Hall.

shoxs should handle them.

They do not have ANY seniors on the roster. Odum is a known commodity but Manny Arop is a very athletic and smooth 6'6 SF. Him and Early are kind of the same type of player. Justin Gant is a 6'8 Sophomore big who is pretty athletic and can shoot the 3 ball. Those are ISUB best three players. Have a couple other guys over 6'8 who play a deent amount of minutes so they are not small. They match up fairly well with the Shoxs but the depth and defense of WSU should be enough to handle them at home.

A bit of a 360 from a few weeks ago.

I personally believe it will be close through about the first 30 minutes. Then WSU starts wearing the Sycs down. This is assuming WSU doesn't start their Chuck Up The 3's offense.

I'm nervous about this game. We have won FAR more than our fair share of games this year considering all the injuries we have sustained. The Trees are going to leaf nothing in the nursery on this one. I have a feeling that the Shocks are going to have to play extremely hard to win this game. Are they up to the task mentally? We will see...

Prediction: I have been a fan of Indiana State all season long as they have been underrated by the oddsmakers all year. On top of that, the Sycamores have been competitive in basically every game and have showed the consistency I like in a team I am going to bet on. Wichita State on the other hand is a very good team and has been on a roll of late. I look for the Shockers to win this one but it should be a very close game and we are getting a generous amount of points. Roll with Indiana State.

Scott’s Pick: Indiana State +12.5

The best player in the league goes off for 39 in a Shox blow out. Not even close. They are that good.

Slowly but surely the Creighton fans are working their way back here. Took a win over SIU to get things going again.
