Austin Peay vs. Murray State

[The Big Tease]

This line has me baffled.....now the rankings will tell you that Murray State is the better team here.....I am not buying it. Austin Peay is VERY experienced and played a schedule in the non conference for the purpose of preparing for the NCAA tourney. Now they are 4 point doggies??? I dont get it.

Is Vegas going strictly by records to make this line?? I dunno.....taking nothing away from Murray, but I have to think on a neutral court Austin Peay is the better team

very intriguing game from this point of view:

murray state is the #1 scoring team in the OVC (81.2ppg)
austin peay is the #1 scoring defense in the OVC (60.2ppg)

murray state is the #1 shooting team in the OVC (49%)
austin peay is the #1 field goal percentage def. in OVC (40%)

its very rare you see a AWESOME offense team against an AWESOME defense team for all the marbles

both teams well coached. cronin at murray learned under huggins and pitino.

and if i have my choice between offense and defense......i am sure you know which one i would take

Big tease..the reason could be AP has struggled in its past 2 games.They just beat 8th seed tenn St by a couple.Had trouble with East Ky.I spent some time on this game but ended up passing.
Murray has been hot.Beating Morehead the other nite.But since they lost to AP 63-56 they have been on a roll.Beating teams by 34,16,20,13 and 30.I know its vs weak teams
I know AP played Memphis,Louisville,UK,etc.But Victor of Murray would be the best player on any of those teams.
Victor scares me.But +4 seems like a lot. GL
