Prediction

Wofford hasn’t given us a very large sample size this season, rolling past a division two school and narrowly beating a very bad High Point team at home.

The Terriers look a lot like the team they were last season. An average SoCon team that’s poised to finish in the middle of a pretty strong mid major conference.

But this isn’t a game Tennessee should worry much about. It being the Vols’ only game this week before heading to the Maui Invitational next week should lead to Tennessee being locked in and avoiding a Wisconsin game hangover.

The Vols roll easily in this one. The only debate is whether they cover the massive spread.
