I called it several weeks ago that Smith would give some teams trouble in the tourney. Do not discredit how much they have improved. This coming from a Cannon fan...ask Upperman as well. Since we are throwing out excuses, Cannon had the bye in the tournament (due to finishing first place and beating Livingston twice ) so they had not played a game in 9 days. Plus, they didn't know who they were playing until the night before. Cannon played flat which I think we all knew was going to happen. Smith County is rolling right now, and Cannon still made the plays to win at the end. Not to mention, Livingston has had more games on Cookeville's floor this year than Cannon. I do believe this game will be closer than the last. I'm sure the hogeye will be out for blood to avenge the whooping they took in Woodbury! However, considering everyone picked Livingston the previous two times they played, please keep picking them! I'm just ready to watch some basketball!
