Gonzaga Predictos

[Doberman_CATS!!!]

Doberman Cats - 80
Egg Nog - 77

I think CK (8 pts) and JHR (6 pts) will DO WORK tonight on the boards.

Pullen might have 30 tonight but I'm gonna go with 23.

Freddy will foul out, 4 pts.

Samuels 10 pts.

McGruder 10 pts.

Russell 8pts

Irving 6 pts

Wally 2 pts.

Will 3 pts.

I will be in the 3rd row all  and yelling at KU fans that choose to come to the event wearing their colors. You know there will be a FEW. Mark Few, get it?

[yoga-like_abana]

This will be are "Fresno State" basketball game.   

[pissclams]

if there's one thing that i'm not worried about, it's gonzaga destroying us inside/rebounding.  

just about everything else concerns me, but neither of those things do.

they are going to O board the hell out of us.  

i doubt it. they don't have the size we do and rebounding has always been a strength of martin's teams.  my guess is we dominate them in the paint and struggle defending the perimeter.  

Orly?  

Probable Starters:

Gonzaga (2-1)

C Robert Sacre 7-0 Jr. 11.7 7.3

F Elias Harris 6-7 S0. 7.7 3.0

F Kelly Olynyk 7-0 So. 9.3 5.7

G Steven Gray 6-5 Sr. 25.7 6.0

G Demetri Goodson 6-0 Jr. 6.3 1.3

K-State (3-0)

F Freddy Asprilla 6-10 Jr. 2.7 3.0

F Wally Judge 6-9 So. 5.0 3.7

G Rodney McGruder 6-5 So. 11.7 6.7

G Nick Russell 6-4 So. 8.0 2.0

G Jacob Pullen 6-1 Sr. 16.0 4.0*

'Cause, y'know, that sort of makes them look ... bigger.  

i didn't realize they started both 7 footers.    still, our bigs are better than theirs.

CBE Classic (in Kansas City)
Tournament bracket

Katz: Duke over Kansas State
O’Neil: Duke over Kansas State
Brennan: Kansas State over Duke
Leung: Duke over Gonzaga
Fraschilla: Duke over Kansas State
Bilas: Duke over Kansas State
Gottlieb: Duke over Kansas State
Lunardi: Kansas State over Duke

Don’t be surprised …
... if Marquette makes Duke play an ugly, slow-down game. The Golden Eagles aren’t as talented, but should be able to get the Blue Devils into a game they don’t want to play. (Katz)
... if Gonzaga gives the Wildcats all they can handle in the semifinal. (O'Neil)
... if the pseudo-home crowd in Kansas City lifts K-State to an upset of No. 1 Duke on Tuesday. (Lunardi)

Guys not to be a douch, but I have seen lots of grammer and spelling smack talk on this board.  Never have I seen this mentioned and it happens more than you would think.

JamSam will have a good game too.  Probably 15 and 7 or something like that.

Anybody who predicts the cats will score 80+ points against a quality opponent through the rest of the season is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). I hope the trend changes but the way it sits now we're going to have to rely on smothering defense to keep other teams down. Can't score points if you don't shoot the ball well and miss most of your free throws. :powerespect:

Really, the only thing we know for sure is we are going to be a bad FT shooting team, but we'll still get to the line a lot.  We really haven't seen enough to know if we'll be a bad shooting team IMO.  And we haven't seen our front court at full strength.  I think the VT game is a better indicator to how this team can play than the JM or Pres games.  Unfortunately, I think we'll see this team play down to competition more than just those games as well, and it may catch up to us.  With so many quality games on the schedule though, it won't surprise me to see us look past teams or not come to play JYC basketball against teams our guys think they should handle.  Plus, Frank's track record for the pace he wants his teams to play at speaks for itself, we're still going to play fast and when we hit shots we'll easily score 80+.  Really.

Uh oh.

Got a strange feeling Gonzaga's gonna spoil the fun at CBE.

Say it ain't so, BITB, say it ain't so...

[kstatefreak42]

Will Spradling is going to dish out like 14 assists and get his own segment on ESPN.

Cats:80
Dogs:79
