Tennessee St. at Eastern Illinois 12-12

pool · 12-12-05, 12:19 PM

This will be Tenn. St. third road game in five days. They couldn't have had much time to prepare for this game. If E. Ill. is patient on offense, which I believe they will be, Josh Gomes should get a lot of open looks and he's one of the best shooters in the conference. E. Ill. has played good perimiter defense so far this year only allowing opponents to shoot .280 from three. Don't be fooled by the final score in Tenn. St. game at Ga. Tech. on Sat. Ga. Tech. could have won by 30 if they had wanted to. I have two concerns for Eastern in this game. They must block out and stay close to Tenn. St. in rebounds and they must be able to handle Tenn. St. press and not turn the ball over. I'll take the home dog in conference play against a team playing three road games in five days.

EASTERN ILLINOIS +2

TENN. ST. 84 E. ILL. 68

Well, one of my main concerns for E. Ill. came true. They turned the ball over 18 times leading to MANY fast break layups. To beat Tenn. St. you must stop their transition game and make them play in the half court. E. Ill. did out rebound Tenn. St. 33-25 but that was because Tenn. St. didn't miss many shots. They shot 60.8% from the floor and 43.8% from three. In stark contrast in last weeks game against Tenn. Tech., E. Ill. held them to 32.5% from the floor and 20.8% from three. Make no mistake Tenn. Tech. is much better than Tenn. St. The E. Ill. announcers said that this was the first game this year that they didn't take a step forward. In this game they took several steps back. It seems now I'm catching teams playing their worst games of the year. You might want to start fading me until I get this 0-5-1 streak stoped. One last note on this game. Tenn. St. was 15-21 on FT. E. Ill. was 7-8 on FT.

Record now 13-8-1 ytd
