This is a 10* SEC GOM on Tennessee.

I think that this is one favors No. 10 Tennessee at home.

Alabama is No. 1 and it's led by Brandon Miller. The Tide are 22-3 and 12-0 in SEC action.

They won for the 12th time in their last 13 games in a 77-69 victory at Auburn on Saturday.

Miller leads the way most nights for the Tide with 18.8 points and 8.2 boards per game, but he saw his streak of 15 straight games in which he made a 3-pointer come to an end last time out.

Alabama is winning despite not getting the best play out of its best player.

Tennessee has taken a bit of a step back of late, but that fact only adds fuel to the fire for a better performance here.

The Volunteers are still 19-6 overall this year and 8-4 in league play, but clearly the Vols are going to be eager to get back on track after back-to-back one-point losses.

First losing 66-65 at Vanderbilt, before dropping an 86-85 contest to Missouri on Saturday.

Tennessee did overcome a 17-point second half deficit in the latest loss and while the Volunteers did come up short, I think they can keep that momentum rolling here to open up this game as well.

These teams haven't played since 2021 and Alabama won that one by a score of 73-68.

It's a bit of a revenge game here for Tennessee. The Vols are the more motivated team after back-to-back one point heartbreakers, and they're playing at home.

Give me the VOLUNTEERS to cover this manageable spread.

Good luck, NP
