We desperately need this game, or the season could get away from us. That's not hyperbole either, look at our upcoming schedule. Arkansas, UALR, and ASU coming up next. That's the pre-season East champion, an SEC foe, and 2 schools who currently appear to be the class of the West. I could see a long losing streak piling up if we're not careful.

We must beat MTSU....

Your concern is well founded. And beating MTSU, pre-season favorite in the East, will be tough.

Their keys are Yates and Kanaste, both of whom average more than 30 mins, and Green. Their guards are big, 6-2 and 6-4, making matchups tough for us. Plus I don't know who in this conference can guard Yates. The team as a whole is a good shooting team, 47%, though not so good from 3-pt line. Kermit Davis has always run a controlled offense, the assumption is he still does that.

At the beginning of the season, it was expected they would have depth in size. But with Hudson having been out with an injury and Hair and Jones not playing for whatever reason, they are not a big team. Even so they played tough vs Tennessee Vanderbilt and Houston. Comparative scores? We lost to UH by 33, they lost by 13. A home loss to Tennessee-Martin (now 4-5 vs D1 schools) mars their record.

They are coming off a good win at a good Missouri State.

Should be fun.
