This is the last game of the night on the tournament’s opening day.  This game is being played in Providence R.I.

There is no recent history between these two teams.

You never know what you are going to get from the Vols.  They beat both Kentcuky and Kansas but also posted some unexpectedly ugly losses.  The situation that resolved itself with Tyler Smith no longer being a Vol was a couple of months ago and when you look at this team now they seem more scrappy than talented.

Wayne Chism continues to improve and can be a matchup nightmare with his outside shooting but he can just as easily pickup 3 fouls in the first three minutes and spend most of the game on the sidelines.  The only constant for Tennessee is their streakiness.

The Vols are always a heartbreak bet because of their lousy free throw shooting.  They let teams stay in the game and that might happen in this one too.

The Aztecs might have broken some bubble dreams by taking the Mountain West Conference tournament in somewhat impressive fashion.  They were fourth in the regular season but beat UNLV in Vegas when it mattered most and delivered New Mexico one of only two conference losses this year.  Sports Betting at Sportsbook.com

This team is led by forward Kawhi Leonard who led the team in scoring and rebounding and was just a hair under a double-double.  Only 6’6″ he had an amazing 21 boards in the conference final.

The Aztecs have just enough size to stand toe to toe with Tennessee and they will need a solid effort from their frontcourt players to stymie Wayne Chism.

Betting Trends:

Volunteers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as a favorite.
Volunteers are 3-7-1 ATS in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games.
Aztecs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games vs. a team with a winning % above .600.
Aztecs are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 neutral site games as an underdog.

Free Volunteers vs. Aztecs CBB Pick

San Diego State very quietly had a very good season.  They had a great run in the Mountain West tournament to win it and they will not be intimidated by Tennessee at all.  The Vols will play a typical helter skelter game but in the end will do more to win it than lose it.

Score prediction: Tennessee 72 – San Diego State 68
