WGEM Prediction:  Morehead State 74, Western Illinois 64
 
 

Tough first half but can’t shoot much worse than that 

let’s hope the law of averages evens it out in the second. 

As bad as we are shooting, it is the defense that is killing us.  They get looks around the bucket  We have to throw up shots under duress.

I think we have a run in us in these last 10 minutes.  Will it be enough?

They are a load to deal with.  Lot of things have to go right to beat them, especially on their home court.
