SEMO will be at a large size disadvantage and without their third leading scorer David Johnson 9.7ppg. He will undergo a hernia operation and be out for the next couple of weeks. Johnson is a very important part of SEMO's rotation. This is a guard oriented team and if their 6'8" forward Andrais Thornton gets 2 fouls in the first half they'll sit him down and go with four guards till half. SEMO plays man to man defense almost solely but this week have been putting in a lot of time practicing zone defense. They'll try to use this to offset Martins size advantage and force them to score from the outside and keep their big men from getting in foul trouble.
With this low number I'm forced to bet against my team and take Tenn-Martin. Having said that be wary, SEMO has been a great cover team the last couple years as an underdog. If Johnson was playing I would take SEMO. Tenn-Martin should have more chances from the freethrow line and I believe that should be enough to get the cover.
