Toledo vs Tennessee Prediction & Pick
Toledo has been flying under the rada r. The Rockets are a respectable 7-2 straight up against Quad 1 & 2 opponents this year, earning wins over both Michigan and Iowa State. They have a chance to give the Volunteers a run for their money as Tennessee allows 66.3 points per game (No. 231 in NCAA).
The difference in this game will come from the home crowd, though. That points allowed per game mark drops to 62.5 inside Thompson-Boling Arena as the Volunteers step it up when it matters most. Watch out for the role players as Tennessee averages 28.0 bench points per game (No. 10 in NCAA).
Rickea Jackson is the best player in this matchup (19.5 points per game), so back the Volunteers.
Final Sco re Prediction:'Toledo: 68 | Tennessee: 75
Toledo vs Tennessee Best Bet
The Volunteers have a great chance to advance with a win on Monday, but their chance of covering a 12.5-point spread is a different story. Prior to the Saint Louis game, Tennessee had won just four of its last 13 games by more than 12 points. Toledo has lost by more than 12 points just once all season.
The Rockets have more than enough momentum (17-game winning streak) to keep this game close.
