CTC Day Five Preview: The OVC Welcomes Their King

The 3 & 4 seeds, Tenn Tech and Morehead joined the party with wins last night, and the OVC is ready for the bubble world to watch when #9 nationally, Murray St., joins the party.  And, every bubble team from from Harvard to Miami to Colorado St. will be watching intently rooting hard for Murray State to keep the OVC as a one-bid league.

#1 Murray St. vs #4 Tennessee Tech
Tonight’s “bubble villain?”  Tennessee Tech.  Lost in this Murray St. frenzy was the fact that they were picked FOURTH in the OVC in the preseason.  That’s right…fourth.  Tennessee Tech was actually picked to win the league and now they can prove them prognosticators right…at least for a day…with a shot at Murray.  They are coming off a 4-point win over upstart SEMO last night.  19 people have Murray St. winning this game.  One person has Tennessee Tech.  So, Gersh can gain 34 points on the other 19 people with a TTech win tonight.

#2 Tennessee St. vs. #3 Morehead St.
In some ways, Murray St. can thank Tennessee St., as it was their upset of the Racers that took some of the pressure off Murray this week.  But, then again, it is the Tigers that might be in the way of a 30th win on the season tomorrow night.  But, both teams have work to do before we get there.  Morehead took care of the feisty Jacksonville St. last night and now get to tangle with the tournament hosts.  While 19 people had Murray in taking one spot in the finals, the other spot had an array of selections.  Two people – Gross and KA – have already lost this game by picking Austin Peay.  Two more – J and Teddy – have already lost with Jacksonville St. here.  7 can come through with the nice upset pick of Morehead (Gersh, Lil Lohse, Mac, Primm, RSmith, Scoot, Waters).  The other 9 entries have TSU winning tonight, though no one has the Tigers winning this tournament.  On the other hand, Gersh, Waters, and RSmith all have Morehead taking this title.

  1. A fascinating discussion is definitely worth comment.

    I believe that you need to publish more about this topic, it might not be a taboo matter but typically people do not discuss
    such issues. To the next! Many thanks!!

  2. After looking at a handful of the articles on your website,
    I truly like your way of writing a blog. I saved it to my bookmark site
    list and will be checking back soon. Take a look at my
    web site as well and let me know what you think.

  3. It’s genuinely very complex in this busy life to listen news on Television, thus I simply use
    world wide web for that reason, and get the most
    recent news.

  4. Awesome site you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any
    message boards that cover the same topics discussed here?
    I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get comments from other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.
    If you have any suggestions, please let me know. Thank you!
