SEC EARLY TIP
(NCAAB) Mississippi State vs. Tennessee,
Point Spread: -10.00 | -109.00 Tennessee (Home)
Result: Loss
The No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers have posted an overall record of 24-7 and 14-4 in the SEC. They will face off against the No. 9 Mississippi State Bulldogs who finished 20-12 and 8-10 in the SEC. The Volunteers put up 80.2 points a game this season on 44.9% shooting from the field and 34.6% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 67.7 points a game. The Bulldogs are putting up 75.3 points a game on 45.5% shooting from the field and 32.9% from deep. On the defensive end, they are giving up 69.6 points a game. The Tennessee Volunteers, play well on both ends of the floor, evidenced by the fact they won the SEC regular season. These teams met once this season with the Bulldogs picking up the victory. The Bulldogs shot over 50% from the floor in the loss. The Bulldogs' bench added 33 points compared with just four points from the Volunteers' bench. I look for the Vols to get revenge in this one as they will turn up the defense and Miss. St will not shoot as well as they did in the last game. This game is in Nashville so look for a homecourt advantage for the Vols… Rocky Top will be sung tonight in Nashville.

Play on Tennessee. This is a 3% play!
