The 11th-seeded Tennessee Volunteers will take on the sixth-seeded Massachusetts Minutemen at PNC Arena in Raleigh on Friday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Hawkeyes got off to such a strong start they have to be surprised they are even in this position.
The Gators continued their dominance of the SEC with an easy quarterfinal victory over Missouri.
The Auburn Tigers will look to keep pace in the SEC with the Alabama Crimson Tide, but they’ve got a tricky game this Saturday versus the Tennessee Volunteers.
Mizzou lost a tough one last week to South Carolina, in overtimes, and saw their chances for that truly fantastic season kind of disappear. However, they still have a chance for a much better than anyone expected season if they can recover quickly and take care of business.
The 11th-ranked South Carolina Gamecocks are riding high coming off a blowout win over Arkansas. Now they get a Tennessee Volunteers team that is coming off a bye, but will surely still be feeling the sting of having lost out on a potential upset of Georgia in overtime their last time out.
This is a game that Tennessee absolutely has to have if they are to have any chance at getting into the field of 68. Even with a win here, they will have a lot of work left in the SEC tournament, but this would give them yet another quality win if they are able to pull it out.
The Florida Gators may already have 3 losses but don’t be tricked into thinking this is not one of the best teams in America.
Saturday January 7
Thompson Boling Arena
11:00AM
Moneyline: Florida -350, Tennessee +290
Spread: Florida -7.5
O/U: 146
Florida
All of their losses have been in true road games and two of them were at Syracuse and Ohio State. The loss at Rutgers might be a head scratcher but, like I said this team is very good, not perfect, team, blessed with maybe the best backcourt in America and a terrific post player. I am not sure about their overall depth but this team can hang with pretty much anybody and is probably going to beat Kentucky when they host them later this season.
It is really hard not to like that backcourt, both in quality and quantitt The Gators have an amazing 4 guards averaging 9 or more point per game with Kenny Boynton leading the team with 9ppg. I would still like to see them throw the ball more often to Patric Young. who is a load to handle down low. because even though the guards are great he offers an amazing physical mismatch almost every night. Any game this team is shooting well they are very tough to beat.
Tennessee
It is a shame what has happened at Tennessee with the departure of former coach Bruce Pearl. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
I was a big fan of the program, their success and their style of play. I don’t want to pretend to know all the details but weren’t the infractions pretty minor, especially given how he has elevated the program to new heights. Right now they are entering SEC play with just a .500 record. New coach Cuonzo Martin has this team playing hard and they seem to rise to the occasion, playing their top opponents very well even though they haven’t broken through yet with a victory. This team should be able to compete in a mediocre SEC.
The talent level in Knoxville is below what we are used to seeing, giving lots of players a chance to step forward. The one player who really stands out is guard Trae Golden. As a frosh he never really found a way to contribute regularly but this year with the extra playing time he is leading the club with 14ppg. His play against Florida is going to be especially important because he is also their leading distributor and will have to guard one of the Gators great guards. Forward Jeronne Maymon is another player who will have his hands full as he try to keep Young out of the paint. He is their leading rebounder but unfortunately the matchup is not unfavourable. Pretty much all of them are that way for the Vols in this one.
Spread Pick: Florida -7.5
O/U Pick: Over
Score Prediction: Florida 83 – Tennessee 69
No. 17 Pittsburgh Panthers improved to 6-1 on the season with their win over Duquesne, while the Tennessee Volunteers continue to struggle, and followed up their Chaminade win with a loss on Monday to the Golden Grizzlies, 89-81.
In a cutthroat conference like the SEC, there just isn’t any room for “getting-there’s” and “nice try, buts…” The Tennessee Volunteers showed a lot of good things earlier in the regular season, but a combination of injuries and a lack of well-roundedness has the Vols staring down the barrel of an 0-4 conference start.
Two standard SEC powers clash at Rocky Top this Saturday afternoon, though the going has been much better lately for the visitors than the home side.
