Mississippi State at Tennessee

It is going to be a long season for Mississippi State as they just don't have a lot of firepower, and often times find themselves holding the ball and trying to shorten games. They have been held to the 50s or less in 10 games, and have limited nine opponents to the same fate. Tennessee has not scored more than 74 points all season against anyone and have their own limitations on the offensive end. These teams produced just 108 points combined in their first meeting, and the first half was limited to just 49. The game featured just a total of 84 shots by both teams. I think that this game is just as ugly early on, until free throws and desperation change the course near the end of the game, so we have a great opportunity to take advantage early while the game is still competitive. Play on the first half UNDER in this one.
