Now is the time to fade the undefeated Murray State Racers. Austin Peay has had an entire week to focus on this game. It will be fresh and it will be hungry to hand the Racers their first defeat.

The Governors are a better team than their record might lead you to believe. They upset the Racers on the road last year and have won 9 of the last 13 at home in the series.

The Racers are 2-6 ATS in the last 8 in the series and 3-9 ATS in the last 12 meetings at Austin Peay. Also, the underdog is 4-1 ATS in the last 5 meetings.

Winning on the road isn't easy, especially with a big target on your back and in an environment where you haven't had much success. Look for Austin Peay to give Murray State all it wants and more tonight.
