Vols 5.5 point Favorite @ Okie

3-3 in true road games and really Florida and Auburn were the worst showings.

We didn't shoot great at Illinois, but was far better than against Gators/Tigers and we won that one.

They have one of the worst defensive ratings in the SEC and their offensive rating is basically the same as ours.

Of our 19 wins only 3 were by 4 points or less (at Illinois, at Texas & vs Missouri). But in our 6 road games only 2 were blow outs. Loss at Florida (30 points) and win at Louisville (22 points)

So I'm saying the safer bet is to expect it to be a close game even with a win.

Yep him, Felix and Cade should have big games.

OU has 3 bigs

Godwin 6'9"
Wague 6'10"
Northweather 6'11"

But none of them are averaging more than 6 ppg or 6 rpg.

Igor needs to be that 3rd regular scoring option to take pressure off of ZZ and Chaz. This is a completely different team when he is on. Also, our other big men don't have Igor's skill set on offense. This team has a shot of making a deep run if he is consistently flirting with a double double.

Keep in mind that Oklahoma has beaten Louisville, Michigan and Arizona, all ranked teams. They are capable but I don’t think they have seen a defense close to ours. It’ll be close since it’s on the road but I think we win by 5-10, imo

At Auburn wasn’t a good offensive showing no doubt, but they made the #1 teams life hell and only lost by 2 at the end in a nailbiter. This team can be unbeatable when they’re firing on all cylinders. They can also shat the bed, but I think with the right lineup and gameplay/adjustments in situations, they can go far. We’ll see, but I think they take care of Okie on the road. Give me the Vols and the points.

It's an SEC road game for us, so I wouldn't bet it at all. Who knows what offense shows up for us.
I said in the Flordia game to take TN and the moneyline because the odds of us losing two in a row at home weren't likely (granted that was before they said Igor was necessarily out). We ended up covering so taking TN was probably the better bet regardless.
This game the moneyline line for TN is +235.
I think that's a little risky for me as far as payoff. The spread is 5.5 and I don't like that either.
If I had to bet I'd take Oklahoma and the points.
Their two home losses this year were less than 4.
We win it's probably just by 3-4.

It really depends on whether Fears can play.

College basketball. Simply hit a higher percentage of three-point shots and the other guy. After great analysis and much investigation, you'll win.

Tennessee really needs to win this game on road. Lost to Vandy and Auburn in close games that could have been won by the Vols. Season doesn't get any easier on the road after Oklahoma.

I think it's one of those ugly games that Vols were notorious for 3 yrs or so ago

Vols 61
Ok 54

Totally disagree about Auburn being one of our two worst showings on the road. I think you’re forgetting Auburn is clearly the best team in the country. Who we play matters. We played amazingly well there. Yes, the offense struggled but so did theirs and Auburn is an excellent defensive team. Going into that game if you told me we would score 51 I’d have said we lose by 20. Their next closest home game was beating Mizzou by 16, a game they led by 26 with 13 minutes to go so it’s not like it was close and Auburn extended the lead at the end.

Some of you seem to want to argue about everything...but trying to convince me that at Auburn where we shot 31.5% FG and 18.2% 3PT wasn't one of the worst road showings we had on offense is silly.
