BURN THE HORSE
Middle Tennessee at UALR 3 p.m. today Jack Stephens Center |
UALR takes on Middle Tennessee at 3 p.m. today at the Jack Stephens Center.
Here's the game preview from Murfreesboro:http://www.tennessean.com/article/D4/20110219/BLUERAIDERS02/102190323/Raiders-face-key-game-UALR-?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CSports%7Cp
There's plenty still to play for and plenty to root for in the final 11 days of the regular season.
West Division standings Denver 9-4 Arkansas State 8-5 Louisiana-Lafayette 8-5 UALR 6-6 North Texas 6-6 Louisiana-Monroe 1-13 |
Middle Tennessee at UALR: Of course, root for UALR.
Western Kentucky at Louisiana-Lafayette: Louisiana-Lafayette is the hottest team in the league, having won eight consecutive games. But in these East-West matchups, UALR really needs some losses for its West division-mates. Definitely root for Western Kentucky.
Arkansas State at Troy: Should you ever root for Arkansas State? Probably not. Definitely not in this case. A Troy victory would be a big help considering UALR still has to play at Arkansas State next weekend. Root for Troy.
South Alabama at Denver: Much like Thursday night, don't expect to get any help here. Denver is nearly unbeatable at home. However, a USA win would definitely help. Cross your fingers and root for South Alabama.
Louisiana-Monroe at North Texas: Here's another one where help is probably not coming. If nothing else, you need ULM to start playing a little better. Next weekend, you need them to beat ULL at home. But until then, hope for the best and root for Louisiana-Monroe.
