ESPN FPI Favors Auburn over Tennessee on Saturday

[1985Vols]

The only thing that scares me is if AU is draining their 3's. They'll shoot 30-40 of them. Play great defense and we should be fine

 

[ColinS]

Auburn has played well lately and they are at home. This game is a toss up. We can play well and still lose. Anyone that thinks we are some kind of big favorite here just doesn't know college basketball.

 

[sechamp2012]

Auburn will get out-coached … that will be the difference.

 

[volsfan24018]

Got us by 9/10ths of a percent, so you're saying there's a chance.

Bad math. 1.8%. Now I'm really worried.

 

[whobethis16]

If Auburn goes 5 of 20 from behind the arc, with Harper and Brown combining for 2 (Ole Miss at home), it should be a 12-15 point Tennessee game. If they go 13 of 30, with Brown hitting 5 (Miss. State at home), it could be a very long day.

 

[O&W]

It was like 65 - 45 in favor of Auburn before we beat the tar out of MSU.

 

[RollerVol]

only advantage is Auburn is home...we'll see how far that takes them...

GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

65-45?

 

[scottchatt]

I think it was the tV coverage from the MSU game, but I heard one of the talking heads say that if Auburn hits over 10 threes they win...I think that is probably correct.

 

[NATHAN05]

I think ESPN is trying to drum up conversation and potential viewership for what they call a "possible top 5 upset" for a Noon tip-off game thats on channel...............oh, shocker ESPN!!!!

They're just trying to get people to tune it at noon on a saturday. Tennessee wins their season finale, SEC banner is hung in about 8 months in the rafters at TBA.

 

[VolunteerCeltic]

Auburn be like....when Darth Schofield and crew show up........

 

[Kosmalski]

Yeah 65-45. They are giving 110% that game

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

Just get the WIN and stay healthy.

Pray for a miracle by the commode doors.

VFL...GBO!!!

Road games are hard. It’s not rocket surgery.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

Just do whatever you can to not let them get hot from 3. If they are even just average from 3 land I'm pretty sure we win.

 

[golfballs]

The implied level of precision by going down to the first decimal is absurd.

 

[YankeeVol]

Vols wins by double digits

 

[MphsBlues]

I doubt the three ball is gonna catch Barnes napping.

 

[VolAmerican]

You lost me at “ESPN”. Seriously,every Vols fan should ignore any and everything related to ESPN.

Don’t give them your clicks.
Don’t give them your money.
Don’t give them your attention.

I would, but they broadcast a multitude of ours and other worthy of watching games, so unfortunately I can't ban entirely.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

They have no post presence. Run them off the 3pt line, and pound the paint. Williams should have a field day.

I suspect the environment to be very similar to the Ole Miss game.

Yep. That'll show those boys who's boss.

 

[FlVols]

We do need a win in this game and I think we’ll get it. I wonder why the ESPN prediction percentage changes from day to day?
