And it's not MU.
If Racers and MU both win, it will be definitely be a road game. I have been in the stadium since 90min before game, and a lot of murray state fans clearly took off work. Saturday will be twice as rowdy.
I think MU is clearly the better team, and I believe we will win. That being said, you hate to give up 4-5pts when you don't need to. Anything can happen on the road.

Lets TCOB today!
The 1-5 seeds are only "protected" for the second round. MSU is a potential third-round match-up, so that doesn't fall under the "protected" seed guidelines.
Many are saying that Murray State should have been given a better seed, so maybe this is a bone that the committee threw to them.
We're a 5-seed in a 3-seed's slot. Playing BYU (slotted as a 12 according to the SC's S-Curve) and basically a road game for our second game. And regardless of the protected factor, how often does a 6 play the first weekend in their home state?
