Notre Dame vs Wichita State predictions

If we are cold or mediocre shooting like the last two games, it will be close. But if our perimeter shooting is hot, game over.
 
I like that WSU won and not Kansas. That game was kind of their Super Bowl. Not saying they won't play well, but I have a feeling they won't be as lights out as they were. They are a bit of a mirror image of us...an undersized team with a lot of quickness and shooting ability, although I think we typically shoot it better than they do, and they typically play better defense than we do. This will be a very entertaining game.

ND 82
WSU 76
 
ND - 3
WSU - 0

ND goes "all defense" on WSU, scores a quick three. The game results in the Irish toying with the Shockers in a little display I like to call "WuShock in awe".

The lads on the Free Boards put down their rocks and sticks, embracing in a rarely seen display of love of Notre Dame.

The Middle East, inspired by this show of contrition, finds meaningful peace for the first time in thousands of years.

Then we get hammered by Kentucky.
 
ND's guards need to dominate. They are bigger and more athletic than WS counterparts and should lead ND to a win.
 
Bodi it too early in the week to be smoking the heavy stuff. Bring ND's number down by 25 and I think you got your score.

gonna be a tough one I think. talked to some friends in Cleveland about tix. way,way out of my price range. 300 and up for a so so seat.
 
I think they're alot like N.Iowa...great defense,poor offense and Louisville took apart N.Iowa and they(UNI) were 1-1 against WSU. ND will be the best team they've played this year.

If WSU plays the same way they played vs. Kansas, I think WSU wins by 15 over ND.

The refs let that game be physical and WSU pounded Kansas. And it will happen again if the refs let them play, which actually, I'd prefer over calling the game too tight.

I'll be very surprised if ND wins.

WSU - 73
ND - 65
 
ND's backcourt is much better than Kansas. Jackson and Grant should dominate WS backcourt. If ND can beat Duke and NC then WS should be a walk. Kentucky if they get by WV is another story.
 
I need to stop watching PTI. When discussing who has the best chance of beating Kentucky, Kornheiser discounted ND saying they should have lost both games in the tourney. He also said ND had no chance in the ACC title game and no chance in beating Duke in the conference tourney. He also brings up the BCS title game every chance he gets. Why do I even bother?

Hey, it's just my opinion, but if WS comes with that same tenacity, it will be a long night for the Irish.
 
I want ND to win but i think they are running into a buzz saw in WS. They have much more NCAA tourny experience. If ND can get by WS i actually think they have a shot to beat Kentucky.
 
ND needs to break out offensively. High scoring game 70s into the 80s most likely will mean a win for the Irish. A low scoring 50s into 60s benefits WS. My prediction, ND 88 WS 82

If ND gets to 80 they will win. If the game is in the 70's its a toss up, 60's WSU probably squeaks by with the W.

So I'll Take ND to win 81-78.
 
Reminds me of an old Vaudeville joke

"My brother thinks he's a Greyhound bus."
"Did you take him to a doctor?"
"No, I took him to Wichita."

ND ekes out another, 75-70

I'm happy ND won. Also I'm happy I was wrong about the prediction. Look like ND almost score over 90!
