Tough game for the Bears is an understatement. Shox are great and going for a historic win on their senior night. I do think we match up with the Shockers better than any other Valley team.

I think Pickens is available for this one whereas he couldn't go last time we played WSU. He adds a lot of D and toughness but he can't guard everyone. Having him helps but the loss of Marshall is huge against a team like the Shox.

My biggest worry is the post. I thought Lufile and Carter manhandled our guys inside last time out. We really need Tmac and Kirk to hold their own. I'll bet Marshall makes limiting Ruders shots and touches a priority this time out.

Win or lose looking forward to the game. How often does a team get an opportunity to play the #2 team in the country in an atmosphere like Koch?

Going to be a great game. Just wish MSU still had Marshall. Their year would have been significantly better, and this would have been an incredible final game.

Marshall isn't the type to run up the score, but if there's a time and place to do it, it's tomorrow. I'm not expecting a close game and I think WSU will have the opportunity to run up the score if they want to. No disrespect to SWOMO intended, they would have been the second best team in conference had they been healthy. I don't think there's a team in the country that could beat WSU tomorrow and any team outside the Top 10 or so would struggle to keep it close. WSU has been out for blood all season but tomorrow will be a whole new level.

Homecoming game for Gavin Thurman. I expect he will have some supporters in the crowd. I'm looking for him to have one of his best games of the year.

Watching college game day. Digger Phelps is a twat. I wasn't rooting for you guys last year but I hope the Shocks shut these jags up.

He has played well against you in the past. He's got a lot of talent when he plays with intensity and he's looked good the last few games.

I'm watching game day too. Can't believe Phelps "guaranteed" the Shox won't make it back to the final four. What an idiot. Jalen Rose understandably disagreed and looked at him like he was a fool.

Dude can score and has a body and skill set that leads one to believe he can be even better. How's his defense?

It's improving IMO. What has really cost him PT is his rebounding or lack thereof. On another team that might be more acceptable but we have really struggled on the boards this year.
