As good as the Bulldogs are defensively, they may not have enough offensive juice to cover. They shoot just 31 percent from three-point range and could shoot below their season average at the rim (60.4%), as the Racers hold their opponents to 57.7% shooting at the rim and block 10.6% of their shots around the hoop. In a non-conference home game during the holiday season, pushing the margin of victory to 17-plus points could prove challenging.

Murray State isn't a terrible offensive squad, either, ranking in the top 100 in offensive efficiency (a few spots ahead of Mississippi State). It features four veterans scoring double-digit points, and all its key rotation pieces are upperclassmen. This is the highest-profile game the Racers will play all season, so don't be shocked if they push the Bulldogs for at least 30-35 minutes on Wednesday!
