UALR -5

[ctt8410]

Seems a little high, but we've always struggled in Little Rock. I think both teams are pretty even on a neutral court.

Still not sure how good we are, because the ole Beavers and (Titans) are really bad.

However, there has been improvement!

Tomorrow will definitely be a test.

This is a big game IMO.
We struggle there but this young team has some confidence.
I don't expect a W but think we can get one if we don't get frustrated and try too hard.

I hate this series. I'm not sure why we keep playing UALR. I hope we can pull off the win tomorrow. After last year, we owe them !

I too expected a 2-3 point line. 5 suggests Vegas recognizes that Oregon State and ORU are bad teams. I though ORU played very well up until the 15 minute mark left in the game and simply ran out of gas. But, then ORU stinked it up at Oakland with repeated turnovers and poor defense.

This game always frustrates me - and I still don't understand why TU continues this series. If we want a game 6 hours away for a bus ride there are other choices - UMKC; North Texas, UT Arlington.

Anyway, I think this game is pivotal to a more successful season than I expected at the start.

Agree...I don't like this series, either...there's nothing similar about these two universities to have an extended, recurring series.

I can think of 15-20 other mid major programs I would rather have a recurring series with...

The problem I have with this series is the committee doesn't respect the difficulty of games at places like Little Rock. We really need our 1:1 deals to be with Valley, A10, and MWC teams. And the bottom of the B12/SEC when possible. The KState game next year is a good start.

I'm not against playing them per se, but yeah, there are a lot of other teams we could play. Why aren't we playing Mo State? Hell, let's play Rice.

 

[Barlass]

This year seems like the first time in quite awhile that we haven't played Mo State. Did we exchange them for Ill State? Is it against the rules to play more than 2 Valley teams in one season?

This is about the same exact way the game went last year. TU jumped out to a fast start and UALR went on a good run towards the end of the half to get it close and then ran away in the 2nd half and our offense went dead. Seems we are stagnant right now and UALR not missing.

100% agree with CTT and gold here
