The Bulldogs won their opening round game as a 13 seed and now face the fifth ranked Volunteers. Mississippi State went just 4-14 in SEC play this season and suffered a 13-game losing streak this year. But, they have won three of their last four. When these two teams met earlier this season, the Vols won easily, holding Miss State to just 57 points. On the season, this team is getting just 60.9 per game and in conference games, less than that. Tennessee is averaging only 63.6 away from home but their defense has been very good (64.6 per game allowed in road games). The bottom line here is that I think the Bulldogs will again struggle to score here. Under head coach Cuonzo Martin, Tennessee is 21-11 UNDER when playing just their second game in a week. Take the UNDER here.
