==== Tonights contest between Murray and Tennessee is billed as a "home" contest for the Vols, when in reality it is more like a "home" game for the Racers !!!
Murray is about 60 miles from Nashville, while Knoxville is at least 4X that !!!
New coach Pearl is attempting to broaden the fan base in hoops, which at first glance is commendable, bbbbbuuuutttt, I would have picked an easier opponent !!
Murray is picked to win the OVC by most of the knowledgeable seers .........
Murray has some firepower when away from home as witnessed by the Cincy game @ Cincy .............
The Racers play at Gaylord at least once a year in the OVC ............
Cronin is L@@KING for notches in his belt to move up the ladder in the coaching fraternity ..............
Gaylord is a "TOUGH" venue for shooting, most teams don't like the background, and I saw somewhere that percentages for visiting teams usually drop off there ..........
I'll take my chances with Pearson, Jennifer, etal VS the VOLS who aren't that familiar with their "HOME" court tonight.
MSU will have a nice contingent of fans there, with OVC backing them up !!
JUST a regular play due to the fact that Pearl has instilled some defense in the Vols play ...............
