The good news for the Peacocks is that our defense isn't typically very good so they should be able to improve upon those numbers. But I don't expect they'll improve on them enough to win. They don't shoot particularly well, they turn the ball over and because of that they don't score very many points.

This game is not on TV and it is at noon on Saturday so I wouldn't expect a whole lot of conversation, but if you are listening or watching the scores online...let this be your online, weekend water cooler.
