T.M. Selection: Tennessee.

I like Tennessee to cover the spread against USC Upstate in this game on Tuesday. Tennessee has looked good this year, they only have 2 losses but both of those losses came against ranked teams and both were played at neutral venues. They have won a lot of their games this year by a lot of points, all of their 7 wins have been by 10+ points. They are going to be on their home court for this game and they are a perfect 5-0 there this year with their smallest margin of victory coming by 11 points against Tennessee Tech. Their other 4 wins at home were all by 28+ points. I think that Tennessee has looked really good on offense this year and they can put up a lot of points. They have also looked great on defense and have not given up 58+ points in 4 games in a row. I think that their defense has been great and I'm expecting them to hold USC Upstate to less than 60 points here or even less than 50. USC Upstate has not been having a good year with just 2 wins in their 9 games this year. They have stayed close in a few of their losses this year but their schedule has also been very weak. They just lost by 26 points to Wake Forest in their most recent game and Tennessee is a lot better than Wake Forest is. There has been a common theme all year with Tennessee destroying bad teams on their home court by 30+ points and sometimes even 40+ points. USC Upstate definitely falls under that category and I think they are going to get destroyed in this game. I like Tennessee to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 88-47 Tennessee.
