Back Florida (-102) To Take Down Arkansas Tonight
Just a few days after Arkansas snapped Tennessee’s six-game conference win streak, the Vols will be back on the court to avenge the loss. Tennessee will travel to Missouri to take on the Tigers in Columbia on Tuesday night.
With the season closing down in the next two weeks, every game will be important for Tennessee. Currently, the Vols sit at the 4th spot in the SEC standings, meaning they will be in line to receive the last double-bye slot in the upcoming SEC Tournament. However, with LSU on their heels, each game is going to be vitally important to lock down the fourth position.
