Agree, they are probably thoroughly ticked about losing to us. I think revenge will factor in for this game and might get ugly. I’ll say:
TSU. 77
USI. 63
Hoping I’m wrong and we come out and shock them.

I don't expect to win, but I am not sure how much "heart" TSU has anymore. May be a closer game than we think. I just hope we have a chance towards the end of the game.

TSU just got a 19 pieced at home yesterday, they may release some anger tomorrow or the better choice is that they end up folding for the season

TSU Projected Starters
G 6’2 180 Kinyon Hodges (10.0 PPG)
G 6’3 185 Justin Williams (4.6 PPG)
G 6’6 193 Denim Dawson (1.9 PPG)
F 6’6 210 Michael Shanks (6.7 PPG)
C 6’11 300 Jason Jitoboh (9.5 PPG)
Way different lineup than the last time we faced, as it’s projected be 3 new starters tomorrow night. Fitzgerald, Jones, and Bellinger are all coming off the bench now. When Christian Brown (14.9 PPG) is one the lineup replacing Shanks, they went on a 4 game winning streak. However, Brown did not play on Thursday. Sounds like Brown’s recurring foot pain is back and had to miss it. I did see Fitzgerald is also dealing with some injury, but he managed to play against MSU.

I think we are due for a weekend sweep. A win today improves our chances for 10 win season and the OVC Tournament.
We only have 4 home games left and 3 are winnable. SIUE will be most difficult home game to win but a huge homecoming crowd makes that game more winnable.

The line swung massively from yesterday to today. It opened at USI +8.5, now at USI +5.

The only logical guess is the uncertainty of Brown, especially since the article I read about his career foot-pain at TSU. Him being out changes a lot of things |

Him being out changes a lot of things He’s a difference maker and it appears Fitzgerald might be in the doghouse. All these talented kids transferring to Tennessee State need to start rethinking that strategy. This coach they have is just awful. |

All these talented kids transferring to Tennessee State need to start rethinking that strategy. This coach they have is just awful. Unsure about the doghouse about Fitz, but he has been having a nagging hand/arm injury and was sidelined for 4 weeks. Unless he got upset for not starting on Thursday against MSU. |

Now it is USI +3.5
Edit: it jumped back to +4.5
Must be some heavy action on this game.
