The spread does seem a bit high. A wild card is how fired up the Tigers come out as a result of last weekend's game. Columbia may have to survive an initial high energy effort by the Tigers.
Henderson commented on the radio show regarding the challenge of defending Meisner based on his inside/out game. Asst Coach Ettin talked about the challenges of guarding PG Smith. It will be interesting to see who Stephens will guard as Meisner maybe to big and Smith to small.
Danger is that Columbia is pretty good on offense and shoot a lot of 3 pointers. Their defense and toughness remains a question mark from prior years.
Tigers really need to be focused for both games this weekend.
