Action was mostly balanced on the Texas vs. Tennessee game spread with a line of Vols -9.5.
The Volunteers are 12-6 against SEC opponents and 13-0 in non-conference play. Tennessee is seventh in college basketball allowing 61.9 points per game while holding opponents to 37.7% shooting.
The Longhorns' record in SEC play is 8-12. Texas is ninth in the SEC scoring 78.6 points per game and is shooting 46.2%.
AcePerHead.com, one of the leading Pay Per Head reviewed platforms, was still holding at Tennessee -10 as of Friday morning. This followed the trends of Circa and Bookmaker, two of the sharper books, while recreational betting sites were holding at the -9.5.
Zakai Zeigler is averaging 13.1 points, 7.5 assists and 1.9 steals for the Volunteers. Chaz Lanier is averaging 18.1 points over the last 10 games.
Johnson is averaging 20.1 points for the Longhorns. Jordan Pope is averaging 1.5 made 3-pointers over the last 10 games.
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)
