Norfolk State at Tennessee

Premium Pick

The Tennessee Volunteers are ranked #1 in the nation, and for good reason. The Vols are strong offensively and shoot 49% on the season, as well as 37% from deep. Those are great numbers, but the defnsive numbers are ultra elite. The Vols suffocating defense has held opponents to a woeful 35% shooting from the field and an ugly 25% from deep. They are the best defensive team in the country. Norfolk St. is 9-6 and have some good numbers, but this is so far out of their league. I think Tennessee can hold this team under 50, and it certainly will be able to tumble a huge line. Make the play on Tennessee in a huge blowout.
