Missouri St at Wichita St - Sunday 7:30pm ESPNU

by **MVCfans** » January 7th, 2011, 9:39 pm

Never too early to look forward to this game as the only two teams with 4-0 conference records battle in Wichita on Sunday night.

From ESPN:

Missouri State at Wichita State (ESPNU, 8:30 p.m. ET): Wichita State has a chance to show the Bears who should be the favorite in the race. The joint should be jumping for this marquee Missouri Valley matchup. The Shockers will want to turn up the tempo from the opening tip. If they do, Missouri State will have a hard time catching up.

From Andy Katz:

I'm looking forward to seeing what happens in a hoop-junkie game in the Missouri Valley. Missouri State goes to Wichita State Sunday night to test its league-title credentials. Wichita State had the preseason buzz and with good reason. The Shockers were the most experienced and talented team in the Valley. But Missouri State has done enough in nonconference play to be considered a possible Valley title team. Winning in Wichita would certainly indicate that Missouri State is ready to be a favorite.

I can't wait for this game. This will get MoState some deserved national recognition....because they are winning this game.

Huge game. Not really a must win for MSU since they already have a couple of good road wins, but if they can steal another one here they would be in great shape.

I don't think wichita will lose this one at home though.

Wichita's 2nd 5 would beat our starters so we are just going to show up and see what happens

I am sure you were being sarcastic. However, the 2nd 5 has been better than our starters for the most part recently. So in a way it will probably be the 2nd 5 that will need to beat your starters for the Shox to win. Gonna be a fun one. Just too bad Missouri St will have to go home disappointed.... :twisted:

I feel confident with this prediction as you accurately predicted a 2 point Evansville win tonight in Springfield.

Weems just might break Oscar Robertson's arena record of 50 points, playing in his home state.

I was saying that with a little bit of toungue in cheek lol. I didn't really think the aces had a chance, just was very worried they would have their eyes on the shocks, which they did in the first half. But I do stand by this prediction. Month state will come in your house and win. And I'm not even a Month State fan really, I just think their offense is too much to handle, they have 4 or 5 guys that can put 18 on you on any given night.
