Big Game This Thursday In the OVC

Murray State and UT Martin meet up with each other this Thursday night in a key OVC matchup. So far, Murray has looked very good. They destroyed Tennessee State and played respectably in a loss to Louisville. Martin lost narrowly to the Gamecocks and defeated a small college.

A Murray win moves them to 2-0 in the conference and all but eliminates UTM from conference title hopes. A Murray loss would put a serious damper on their title hopes with tough games remaining against Jacksonville State, Tennessee Tech and Eastern Kentucky and inject UTM back into the title mix.

An interesting side note. Murray State fans have claimed that the game was originally scheduled on a Thursday with the understanding that both teams would be working on four days rest. Allegedly, Martin then went out and moved their Union College game up to give them extra time to prepare. Things might get a little feisty on Thursday night.
