Do they have any players from Memphis? If so, I look for them to get 30+.

All I want to see is an effective press that forces 18+ turnovers.

Plus Pastner isn't usually one to keep the pedal floored when the game is already in hand.

Austin Peay beat the Mighty Oaks of Oakland City by 15 in their opener. They only led at half-time by 2. Oakland City plays in the NCCAA with teams like Union and Victory. Last year AP was 8-23. They lost their 2nd leading 3-pt shooter but picked up 3 pretty good guards from JUCO. Still they are pretty terrible.

Yeah, but you aren't talking about them winning, you're talking about whether the Tigers will win by more or less than 23.

Me too, as long as it is the Tigers that are the ones doing the pressing.

Oh, they were terrible last season, and they're slightly less terrible this season. Don't get me wrong.

But we only beat them by 15 or so last year. We've gotten better, they've gotten better. We win, maybe in dominating fashion at points in the game, but we don't hold onto a 23+ pt lead I bet.

Good thing X ain't our coach; he lost to these guys.

I would tolerate a loss to Austin Peay for 4 Sweet 16s, 3 Elite 8s and an overtime loss in the National Title game right about now.

Except for the coach.

Josh don't seem to do good with large spreads of 20 or more. But we are deeper this season so who knows. Will probably sit this one out or bet the total. I can't wait to see what the Okie State line is.

We will probably be a 6-8 point dog depending on how we do tonight.

Er- 23 is a big spread.

You'd make a great straight guy for a comic.
