+ or - UT? I don't bet (and therefore don't know where to look) but Vegas is usually on so want to know what they think

Edit: NM, I could LOOK at the OP...sorry

it is a betting line,they move it to get more people to bet,they don't care who wins or loses as long as you bet

 

[jspvol76]

Vols coming with another beat down today!

 

[UT_Dutchman]

Yeah. Understand the concept, just didn't know which Vegas site number came from to look but then saw it in OP. Thanks though!

Does anyone know what time shoot around is before the game?

 

[PeaceCorpsVol]

I am nervous, as everyone should be in the tourney no matter what. The way those guys were passing against a fundamentally sound team like Duke, with the back door cuts and bounce passes, they could be in it all game. Having said that, our defense has been playing better than I have ever seen and we should win this game.

GBO or GTFO.

 

[GBO97]

Wouldn't be shocked by a close game or even an upset, but I think we take care of business. 73-59 Vols, sweet 16 bound! GBO

Nope we are the first game. Virginia vs Memphis is after

I'm here and ready for the Vols to get to the Sweet 16!

Gbo!!!!!!!

 

[calban]

Knock down drag out see saw for 30 minutes.
Bruise brothers prevail and we pull away at the end.
Vols by 10.

I think the style of play is what will actually get us the victory. Mercer outplayed Duke in a battle of same styles. I think (if) our bigs play like they have been it will be too much for mercer to sustain an attack against.

Wear them down, play the D we've been playing, and then let jm dunk from half court. Recipe for a sweet 16!

Oh yeah, GBFO

 

[Dergibvol]

reading a lot about this matchup and some articles claiming mercer has more talent which will have them winning the game. thinking all the nega vols have ventured into the media. think TN wins a close one due to stokes/maymon

[Spartacavolus]

we have lost 1 game this year when scoring 70. Our D has been incredible lately, but as long as we attack on offense, we win almost every time. When we score 71+ this year, we are 21-0

[MphsBlues]
