SEMO AT JACKSONVILLE STATE
Until SEMO proves they can shoot better than 40% from the floor they should be a bet against team on the road. All year they have had no one that could consistently be an inside threat. Jacksonville State will force the pace in this game and SEMO's short bench could come into play. SEMO will also be without their best on the ball defender, 6'4" Eric Jones. I don't believe SEMO will be able to keep up the scoring pace Jacksonville State will set unless they shoot a much higher percentage than they have been so far this year.
JACKSONVILLE STATE -6-
MURRAY STATE AT SAMFORD
Murray should be able to hold Samford to the mid 50's. Murray is very good at defending the 3. Samford shot 43.5% from 3 against SEMO saturday hitting 10 three pointers. They also shot 49% from the floor. They won't shoot that good against Murray. Murray's playing very well now and I'll continue to ride them until they prove me wrong.

TENN-MARTIN AT EASTERN KENTUCKY
Not a big write up on this one. Tenn-Martin is big and athletic. They should control the boards in this one. I believe this is a pretty even game and I'll take the 5 points even though it's the second game of the death valley road trip and Tenn-Martin won the first game at Morehead saturday. This one is more of a gut feeling.
TENN-MARTIN +5
