I had thought it would be. Be ULM looks to have improved since early in the season when they lost by 38 to Tenn Tech. They beat that same team Monday. The game before that they were tied with Colorado in Boulder 62-62 with 30 seconds left before losing 65-62. Miami transfer Lawrence Gilbert became eligible 6 games ago and is averaging 16.3 points a game. Tony Hooper returned from suspension in the last game. They are turnover prone which maybe our biggest advantage. I think our guys will come out with a lot of intensity after Sunday's loss. Hopefully they can maintain that with the "crowd" likely being the smallest of the year. Obviously, this is one we can't afford to lose before going to WKU on Saturday.

One good thing is that they are a terrible shooting team. If our defense gets back to normal, we ought to be able to hold them down.

Of course, "if" if the operative word there.
