WSU at Indiana State (Sunday night ESPNU)

ugh, we have NO shot to win this game tomorrow night, I just hope we're not run out of our own gym on national TV. Shockers should have no trouble getting through our porous defense.

WSU by 15

I hope you prove to be a prophet.

Earlier this year, I had this a WSU loss, but I've had to reconsider.

Stats all point to WSU. Matchups don't look bad for WSU. Maybe Odum can drive - that could be a problem, but Odum is only resembling a solid mortal this year. I don't see how Tuttle (Edit: I meant Kitchell, but got it wrong), Muharin and Walker can match up well with Stutz and Hall Orukpe might be able to get a few "non-destructive" minutes.

I see the game as WSU opening and maintaining a lead Probably double-digits until sometime in the second half when InSU begins chipping away. Then WSU pulls out late mainly on free throws to take the lead from something like 5 to finish around 11.

I'll stick with optimism. First win of our conference play recovery run.

Sycs by 5.

This would seem to be a win for WSU. But Ind state is at home. And they will be hungry to save their season. I think it will be a close game. Glad it's on ESPNU. And it's on several hours after the Bears game.

Tuttle will be in Peoria today...

I think WSU wins this going away. ISU does not have enough bench or inside presence to handle WSU. Stutz should have a field day. WSU by 15+ as has already been stated.

You mean the trade for Kitchell fell through?

I sense a "smackdown" revenge coming on National TV coverage for the sycamores victory in last years MVC Arch Madness.

I think we can assume that the Trees have no less inside presence than the Aces do, and the Shocks had to rely on a missed free throw to win that game.

Yes, but (as good as Odum is) they don't have a player like Colt Ryan to shoot them back into the game. I don't think it will be a blowout, but I don't think the Shox will struggle with this one as much as they did @Evansville.

I'll say shox by 8
