Great show today in SEC with Tenn. Vols to host the LSU Tigers.
The two teams are equal in their periphery at 6 this year with a record of 6-6. Vols this year at their headquarters have a record 10-3 record, while the Tigers are 3-6 this season in their away.
Vols run 3 with 3, 88 58 before 68 against Kentucky (69-61) but playing without the best of the player. In spite of their successes, their numbers have dropped a small drop in relation to their home data. Near XNUMX-XNUMX points the aggressive production within, while defensively receives close to XNUMX.
The Tigers have been in good shape lately, with 5 winning their last 6 games, two games against MissSt within 80-68. Their good form has also been seen in their last-named numbers, with the defensive attempt to stand by holding opponents under the 60 points in the last 5 match. The off-home attack achieves about 65 points per match. A big fight is expected near the basket as both teams have power inside the racket and pick up quite a few rebounds.
In this pair the underdog is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 matches, with the LSU being 4-1 ATS in the last 5 in Tenn. and 7-2 totally independent headquarters. Another two trends that stand out for the Tigers are the positive ATS that have been the last 3 years as 6.5-9 offside players (4-1), and this year in a match with teams that have a positive record after 15 matches are 5-0 ATS!
Togers and Vols after a big victory may be getting a little bit more in the match today. In any case, the match is a derby and will judge very much which of the two teams will continue to make dreams for the tournament in March. I am waiting for the game to be judged by the end of the game and the score does not open up to either of the teams. Good value I believe has the big handicap today in favor of LSU.
Louisiana State Tigers + 7.5 @ 1.94, Pinnacle.
