This is a 10* OVC GAME OF THE YEAR on Austin Peay.
Austin Peay has been officially eliminated from Ohio Valley Conference post-season competition and with all of the pressure off the Governors now, I expect the visitors to relish the role of spoiler and give Eastern Kentucky everything it can handle today. Interestingly, this game was scheduled to be played last Tuesday, but inclement weather forced the postponement. Eastern Kentucky is 8-5 in league play and trails Belmont by a game in the OVC East. The Colonels had been the conference's hottest team before losing 66-61 to Belmont on Thursday and suffice it to say, in my opinion this sets up as a classic letdown spot for the home side. After an extended streak of excellence, only to come up short vs. the No. 1 team, and now facing the lowly Governors, all signs do indeed point to a letdown spot. It was a brutal loss as well, EKU actually led by as much as 16 second-half points vs. Belmont. APSU on the other hand has lost seven straight and will be eager to play with some pride today after falling 89-54 at Murray State on Saturday. Note though that Austin Peay is 17-13 ATS in its last 30 vs. teams with winning records and 14-9 ATS after three or more consecutive SU losses. And note that EKU is a poor 9-16 ATS in its last 25 in front of the home town crowd. In my opinion, the situation, the numbers and the trends do all indeed point to the GOVERNORS as the savvy move in this contest.
