Before You Bet
- While action was mostly balanced on the spread, sharp books moving the line to Vols -10 suggests they are liking Tennessee to cover.
- Tennessee also defeated Texas 62-58 in the SEC Tournament last year, giving Texas consecutive covers against Rick Barnes' bunch. (The Action Network)
- Texas may be playing its third game in three days, but it has momentum and is fighting to secure its spot in the field.
- Texas has less than a 24 hour turnaround to face off against one of the best defenses in college basketball.
- Asking the 13-seed to go to double-overtime, then take on Tennessee the next day is too much to ask. (Winners and Whiners)
