Conference play has arrived...

[TheShock]

If we only lose one game (or two for that matter), I will be absolutely shocked. Trust me, I think we are really good but the it is really hard to not lose at least 3 road games in the Valley. I think we lose at most one home game. I'd say 14-4 is more realistic.

If we do somehow go 17-1, I predict everyone will HATE the Jays fans down in STL this year. (if they don't already)

Uh, I really don't think it matters whether you're 1-17 or 17-1 in STL... we all HATE you equally.



Nah, just $hittin' ya'; at least you're bringing some good exposure to the Valley and you travel well to St. Louis. I'm not going to give you crap for supporting your team.

I'm thinking 14-4 wins the league this year...still not sure who it will be.

That's defend the home floor (9-0) and play above .500 on the road (5-4).

Opening night and the conference is already a meat-grinder.

We are obviously biased here, but there really just is not anything like conference play in the Valley.

12-6 could easily win the Valley this year won't help th getting two NCAA bidsdream, but will make for some exciting conference BB!

That's my concern too. Our RPI is great but there's not much meat on the bone. We probably need to get 3 out of 4 against CU and WSU.

Yeah, well, that ain't happening. Anyone that thinks they're getting CU plays those scratcher lotto tickets way too often.

Yes, it can happen, but in a short term sample it's highly unlikely, and if it does happen it's going to be pure luck.

I also think 13-5 is a highly ambitious number for our Shocks. Not as good or (Valley) experienced as last season and the league is a LOT better than last year......I'd take 1 game worse than last year and run right now.

Total self fail. It seems I get Creightoned no matter what.
